Why a stuck garage door opener isn't always the opener

When the motor runs but the door doesn't budge, the trolley may have disconnected from the carriage, or the door itself is binding in the track and the opener simply can't force it past the obstruction. A motor that hums without moving anything is usually straining against resistance rather than failing on its own, which is why the door and the track get checked right alongside the opener unit itself.
