Garage Door Opener problem

The problem was the plastic gear in the motor control unit. It had worn
out completely. Replaced, and the door works great !!
Thanks for all the replies !!

Make sure you got all the grease that came with the kit into the
gearset. Without that grease they are about a 6 month item - with the
grease, 12 -15 years or more.

If it's humming as opposed to making mechanical grinding sounds I'd guess
maybe the motor capacitor.
We have a Craftsman still in service after 33 years and the only thing it
ever needed was (many years ago) a new capacitor, a new belt (maybe 5 years
ago), and a repair to the thermal delay for the light bulb (a few months
ago. I was able to solder the tiny wire where it had broken).
