I did the plastic gear replacement on my 1/4 horse opener. This opener
I would estimate to be about 12 years old. It worked fine before I
replaced gears (except for the gears being stripped). Now when I plug
it in and hit the wall button to test it throws the breaker. The light
comes on fine, I have rechecked my blue to blue etc.. Could my
capacitor be the culprit? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

It could be you do not have the gears in correct and the motor shaft is
locked up.

I had inadvertantly pinched a wire with a mounting screw when I
replaced the gear assembly...problem solved
