My garage door opener suddenly stops working after about 5 years.
The opener is a Lift-Master 1/3 HP with chain. After press the remote
button to open/close the garage door, I can hear the (moter ??) sound,
but the chain doesn't move. Does anyone have an idea which part is
broken? What do I possibly need to fix it?

Also, the previous owner did not have a manual when I bought the house.
Where can I download/buy a manual?

Thanks
Scott

Google

Your plastic gear and sprocket is worn out. Remove the cover you will find
white plastic debris inside. Easy to repair.

Thanks all for your reply. As Rich said, I saw, after opened the box,
the biggest plastic gear (vertical axis) was worn out.
Now my question is where sell the opener parts?

Thanks a lot.

That's the best you can come up with? Do you expect people to pick up a
book and look through it, maybe make two or three calls to find them? This
is the age of the internet. You post a question and others do the work for
you. If Google cant find it, you are out of luck. Time to get rid of your
old ideas and get into the 21st century.

I found the following place which sells the parts needed.

Thank you all.

Thank you so much Miller!

I actually found a local store which sells the parts and fixed it by
myself. The fix is pretty easy.

Thanks
Scott

Thank you all for the reply.

I found a local store who sells the parts and just replaced the gear.
The replacement is pretty easy. It took me about 40 minutes. I am
sure it will be less than 15 minutes next time.
Also, I got the manual from LiftMaster's website:
