Liftmaster garage door opener quit working

17 years ago

We went to open our garage door this a.m. and it will not open either w/the main opener or w/any of the remotes. The light will not come on either. The unit will click when I press the open button but that's it. Could this be an electronic problem, or what? There is no motor noise at all. Thanks in advance for your help!!

Make sure the trolley is not jammed on something.
(trolley is that thing that slides on the opener rail) Otherwise I would say the motor is locked up. Make sure you don't have a broken spring, but usually the motor will make some kind of attempt to open it. Might be time to replace it.
