Before anything gets replaced, the door needs to be tried by hand with the opener disconnected. If it moves smoothly on its own, the opener is the problem — a dead capacitor, a tripped breaker, or a burned-out motor. If the door is heavy, crooked, or won't budge at all even disconnected, the spring, cable, or track is what's actually failed, and no opener repair fixes that.
