More about this in Fulshear

A stuck garage door opener is a motor that runs — you can hear it hum or click — but the door itself doesn't move, or moves only partway before stalling. That's different from an opener that's completely silent, and it points at a mechanical jam rather than an electrical failure.

Call (346) 220-4724 if the opener is running but the door isn't following it.
