Garage door opener not working — sort it by what the unit does
Nothing at all happens
No light, no hum, no click. That is power. The outlet, the breaker, or a tripped GFCI upstream that also feeds an outdoor receptacle. Openers frequently share a circuit with exterior outlets, so a GFCI that popped during a storm takes the opener with it and looks exactly like a dead motor.
The light blinks and the door will not close
That is the safety sensors, and the refusal is deliberate. The photo eyes at the bottom of each rail have to see each other. A bumped bracket, a spider web, a stored bin, or direct afternoon sun washing out the receiving eye all break the beam, and the opener will not close a door it cannot verify is clear.
The motor runs and the door does not move
On a chain or belt unit that is the nylon drive gear, which is a wear part and the single most common mechanical failure in an opener. On a screw-drive unit it is more often the coupler. Before this, the series covered garage door opener making noise in Bellaire, TX.
The remote is dead but the wall button works
That is the remote or its programming. Battery first, then re-pairing, then the receiver on the logic board.
Bellaire's lots hold two different generations of hardware
Bellaire was chartered as a city on June 24, 1918 with just under 200 residents, and two decades of teardowns and rebuilds mean an untouched mid-century house often sits next to a brand new one on the same block, with median sale price around $1.3 million over the three months ending near April 2026. That split shows up directly in this repair. A garage door opener not working in a rebuilt house is usually a sensor or a logic board on a unit under ten years old. The same call at an original mid-century house is usually a stripped gear or a motor that has simply finished.
Repair or replace
Gears, sprockets, belts, sensors, capacitors and remotes are all repairs, and on a decent unit they are worth doing. A failed logic board on an opener old enough that boards are scarce is not, and neither is a motor with worn bearings. The line is the age of the unit and whether parts still exist for it, not the size of the invoice.
