The first thing that you should verify is that the garage door opener is still plugged into the electric outlet. Secondly you should confirm that there is power coming out of the electric outlet or plug the gargae door opener into another outlet with a temporary extension cord. If there is power to the operator then there is some type of mechanical or electrical problem within the garage door opener itself and may need to be diagnosed by a qualified service technician.

It is likely that you have a broken garage door spring that should be replaced by a licensed garage door service technician. If your garage door springs are on a shaft across the top of the garage door, you will notice that one of the garage door springs has broken into two separate pieces.
 Even though only one garage door spring is broken, you should have a licensed garage door technician replace both of your garage door springs because the other spring has been fatigued and will not be easily balanced with a new garage door spring.

If the light on the garage door opener comes on, then the opener is getting power and the problem would be in the electrical/mechanical workings of the opener. Be sure to unplug the operator before making any attempt to remove the motor head cover. To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, why not have your garage door opener repair made by a knowledgeable service tech. If your garage door opener is more than ten years old you may want to consider upgrading the garage door opener to one with the latest safety features.
