Your spring is too hard, you dont need to replace the motor. Call the guys and loosen the spring a bit and you should be fine.
You could just remove the old system and put this up, yes, everything would be included. Easy to put up, 1 person maybe an hour, will need a second person or a 2nd ladder for a few minutes partway through.
A few years back I installed one (first time) and it took me roughly 1.5 hours. After that, approx 45 min to an hour for others I have installed. Costco version appears to have a better light on motor housing and video keypad as primary differences
hey , i install and service garade doors for a living, if Garage door opener isnt able to lift door, that means your springs are not strong enough to lift door or not wound enough. Disconnect the motor from the door and then try to lift the door with your hands, if you are unable to or if its extremely heavy, that means your springs are not doing their job. On older motors , there is force up and force down switches, you can increase the force up since your older motor is getting weaker. But always check springs first.

There are different types of Rails for motors, so all depending what you have, but the angle iron or back hangs for the motor might not work, you might also need to change the bracket above the center pad for the spring and opener arm bracket thats connected to the top panel.

Would any one know if this would be an exact swap out for just the motor on a 3/4 HP unit if all the hardware is already up? The 3/4 HP won't lift my double door after only replacing 6 months ago.

Came home yesterday to my garage door mechanism broken. My kids say they tried to open the door dropped. Chain looks to have broke and is hanging.

Does this have everything i need to swap things out? Does this include the full belt system to replace the chain system I have now? How easy of a swap is it? I'm a fairly handy person.

Also how does this compare to this one at Costco for $200? https://www.costco.com/chamberlai...57754.html

Thank you

If I'm changing mine again it's going to be for smart functionality. Auto garage door closing at certain times of day/night and kids/wife being able to open with phone make a few extra duckets whenever they go on sale more than worth it.

You can get something like tailwind to add smart functionality, has an app but also is local control if you use Home Assistant

Costco one is a smart opener with wifi connectivity and more feature rich.

Buying one with "smart features " means you have to pay fees regularly?

I have a Craftsman with battery backup and Wifi from 2013. The Craftsman app was crap, none of the auto-close events I set up would work. Switched to MyQ and it works great. Anything that is Chamberlain or Liftmaster (Craftsman is rebranded version) will work with it. Not sure about Genie. Go here [myq.com]to find out if yours is compatible.

And no, no fees for using the app. I think there are features you can unlock for fees, but basics are free.

And the one in this post can not connect to myq correct? How useful do you find the smart features?

Thank you for the reply.

You should take off the housing to see what might be the problem. I recently had a similar issue where the drive gear completely stripped. Bought a replacement and now it's back to good as new (waiting for the next shoe to drop). But do some troubleshooting first to see if it's just a part swap vs entire unit.
