More about this in Katy

A stuck garage door opener is one that hums, clicks, or does nothing at all when the button is pressed, while the door itself hasn't moved an inch. That's different from a door that's physically jammed — the motor is either not engaging the drive mechanism or not getting the signal to run at all. There is a wider write-up on garage door company Katy that covers the other faults too.
