Common failure on Chamberlain / Liftmaster openers. They are
supposed to be greased - when the grease goes, so do the plastic
gears - particularly when they get to be over 20 years old (and
I'm thinking that one is pushing 30)


Suggests that owners of that brand should so
routine maint on their machines? Not just wait
till the service engine soon light comes on?
They are not designed to be a 50 year unit - but with good servicing
they can be. And when you say "that brand", some private brand units
- including craftsman - are made by Chamberlain.

This unit was manufactured 05/99.

Looks like another product that is getting "cheaper" as the years go
by - even if the price is not dropping.
