Failed Gear – Automatic Garage Door Motor Requires New Gear
On first inspection

Top of Motor showing how the drive sprocket is damaged. Black metal grindings are visible under the sprocket hinting at how and way the chain slipped off.

Top view of broken gear assembly. The sprocket sleeve has been worn away and will create chain slack during operation and thus throw the chain off and cause your door not to open / close automatically.
