The opener runs or hums, but the door stays down - or nothing happens at all.

Grinding, squealing, rumbling or a rattle that has crept up over months.
Garage Door Off Track
The door is out of its track and jammed at an angle.

The door reaches the floor, or nearly, then immediately goes back up.

Noticeably slower than it used to be, often worse first thing in the morning.

One sensor light is off, flickering, or the door refuses to close and beeps.
