Motor runs but screw drive shaft doesn't turn any longer. Why?

There are little collars that connect the drive shaft pieces together. If any of those have fallen off the drive shaft wont turn. Depending on the size of your drive shaft there mayb two or three collars.

I am not sure but as a mechanic I would guess where ever the motor attaches to the screw it might have an issue.

Don't know the answer as my opener has only been used for 4 months. Works great still.

I am assuming it was working correctly at some point. If that is the case then the most likely cause is 1. that someone pulled on the release cable to disengage the door from the shuttle. 2 if the shuttle is also not moving then you need to climb up and see what is going on as someone actuates the door. The belt could be broken, gear not turning, or the belt is not engaged on the pulley. Mine is working fine and is very quiet.

Upon receipt the garage door opener did not work properly. After much trouble shooting with the mfg it was determined that the circuit board was faulty and they would send a new one. After about 10 days a new one arrived. It was improperly packed and was broken in half. The door opener was returned and another one was purchased locally. It has worked ok.

Could be the connection between the motor and screw drive. Check instillation manuel for picture of connection.

I would double check all the screws and bolts. Probably take off the control module and double check the connection ports. If its still messed up call customer service. The unit has one of the better warranties.

Radio shack maybe, Might not be exact same model but close or if they have new ones that work replace them both if you can. Ebay probably be best bet to find similar motor. Or find out what manufacture built them contact them see if you can buy new motors

A lot of people say that the plastic drive shaft strips out after only a few months. Probably what has happened to yours. I think you can just take the two pieces apart and look at the plastic drive shaft (there is a picture of a stripped on on Amazon's site under the manufacturer photos) to see if that is indeed your problem.

Turn the blades hand a few clicks, then try it again. Could be the gears sticking or a bad motor.

A Motor worked :). I had to check each part to figure out which one was not working. Luckily, I had good tools to figure out

It's been a long time, but as I recall that was what I had. I checked the motor and it worked, so I replaced the board and that fixed it. Hope this helps.

Make sure the drive socket is installed properly. But it sounds like you need a new blade assembly. Before you buy a new one, make sure it"s attached tightly to the plastic container.

The drive shaft is probably slipping. Hard to fix, but somewhere inside the vertical metal rod is not connected properly to its gear. Keep in mind, these things are great fun, but have an average life span of two weeks in my experience. Can't hurt to take it apart and see what's inside anyway!

Just doing some speculating here . . . but do you have a way to determine whether the problem is with the motor or with the controller? Beyond that, I wouldn't have a clue. Good luck.

I had the same problem. What I did was unscrew the motor from the base and and use compressed air to clean the motor. Sometimes a piece of lead would get stuck inside the motor mechanism.

Check Switch.Check for broken wires then check the plugs.If your fimiliar with electricty check to see if your getting power to the motor hope this helps

Sorry to say, but I think you have a bad motor. I would return it if possible or call Proform to replace it especially if you recently purchased it.
