More about this in West University Place
A garage door opener not working covers a wide range of symptoms — total silence when the button is pressed, a motor that hums but goes nowhere, or a door that moves fine by hand but ignores the remote entirely. Each of those points to a different part of the system, and the fix depends on figuring out which one before anything gets replaced.

Why a garage door opener quits without warning
Most opener failures aren't sudden. A worn drive gear, a logic board losing its memory of travel limits, or a remote battery running low all build up gradually, and the day the opener finally stops responding is usually the end of a slow decline rather than a one-time event. That's why a door that "just stopped working" often has a specific, findable cause rather than a total mystery.
A garage door opener problem tied to when the house was rebuilt

With a median year built of 1995, a large share of West University Place's opener hardware dates to the same building wave that replaced roughly half the city's original houses in the 15 years ending in 2002. Openers from that stretch are old enough now that worn gears and aging logic boards are a normal failure pattern, not a sign anything was installed wrong.
What gets checked first on a non-responding garage door opener
The wall button and the remote get tested before the motor housing ever comes off, because a surprising number of "opener not working" calls turn out to be a dead remote battery or a wall switch with a loose wire, not a failed drive unit. Ruling that out first saves time on a call that might not need a new motor at all. It is worth comparing this with the page on fix a garage door opener making noise in West University Place.
When a garage door opener replacement makes more sense than a repair

An opener with a stripped gear or a dead logic board can often be repaired on the spot, but a unit from the original 1990s building wave that's failing on multiple fronts at once — gears, board and remote sync all going within months of each other — usually costs more to keep patching than to replace outright with something built to current safety-sensor standards.
A quiet neighborhood still needs a garage door opener that works
West University Place was ranked the "best city to live in" by 24/7 Wall Street in October 2018, the kind of ranking that comes from quiet streets and dependable routines — routines that a garage door opener not working throws off fast when the car is stuck inside or the door won't seal at night.
