A door that won't move at all, rather than one that's just slow or noisy, usually means something is physically blocking travel — a track knocked out of alignment, a roller jumped off its rail, or a spring that's lost enough tension that the door can't clear its own weight. Each of those looks the same from the driveway: the door just sits there, and a stuck garage door stays stuck until the actual jam point gets found. Telling them apart means opening the door manually and watching exactly where it stops.
