What "the garage door opener isn't working" usually turns out to be

A completely silent opener is often power — a tripped breaker, a bad outlet, or a unit that's simply died. A unit that hums or clicks but doesn't move the door is a different problem: the motor is getting power but something downstream, a stripped gear or a chain off its sprocket, is stopping it from actually driving the door. Telling those two apart is the first thing that happens on any opener call.
