The motor of the garage runs but the door remains stationary. What is causing this problem. We can pick up the door by hand but cannot use the remote.

Oh.. I know exactly what the problem is.. I have that same problem from time to time.. maybe once every 2 years.. The problem is that you have to get a new SPRING.. It is that long spring that is ON the garage door.. It is broken and if you check carefully, you will see where it is no longer ONE long piece but is broken into two....A garage door man would have to do that for you.

Make sure that the door is in the closed position. If you have a rope hanging down from the motor - pull it until it clicks. It sounds as though you have changed to to manual operation. If that doesn't fix it you will have to have someone look at it - do not try to fix it yourself - can be very dangerous.

Depending on what brand it is will tell me what the problem is. but going off what you said it sounds like a chamberlin and yes there are gears in there that need to be replaced. There are two different kits for this. you can order parts form Chamberlain or check your local garage door dealer.
