What a broken garage door opener sounds like before it fails outright

A motor that hums but doesn't turn the door usually has a stripped internal gear — the motor itself still runs, but nothing is connecting it to the door anymore. A motor that clicks and does nothing is more often a capacitor or a logic board issue. A door that moves a few inches and stops is frequently hitting a travel-limit or force setting that's drifted out of range rather than a dead motor at all. Sorting out which of these is happening is most of the diagnosis before anything gets replaced.
