Why garage door opener damage keeps coming back on the same unit

Garage door opener that got damaged in Shoreacres, TX: setting up a smart opener

An opener is built to guide a door that's already balanced by its springs — not to lift dead weight. When a spring is weak, a cable is fraying, or the tracks are binding, the opener motor has to do work it wasn't designed for every time the door runs. That's what burns out gears, overheats circuit boards, and eventually kills the motor. Replacing the opener without fixing what's straining it just buys a few more months before the same garage door opener damage shows up again.
