An Overhead Door garage door opener typically stops working due to misaligned or blocked safety reversing sensors (photo-eyes) preventing the motor from closing the door, a tripped circuit breaker cutting power, stripped internal nylon drive gears from lifting heavy unbalanced doors, or a blown internal transformer fuse. Additionally, snapping torsion springs or remote control battery failures can mimic total opener failure. Callout type="warning" title="Electrical Safety Warning": Unplug the unit or turn off power before inspecting internal components. Verification: Check sensor LED alignment indicators and test door balance manually using the red release rope.
