Sears Craftsman Garage Door Opener Gears
If the motor runs but the chain or belt doesn’t move, the internal gears may be worn out. Replacing them is a cost-effective way to restore your opener without buying a new unit.
Our gear and sprocket kits typically include the drive gear, worm gear, and bushings needed for repair, and fit many chain-drive Sears Craftsman openers.
FAQs – Sears Craftsman Gears
How do I know if my gears are stripped?
Look for white plastic shavings inside the opener housing or a motor that runs without moving the chain/belt.
Are gear kits universal?
Most kits fit a wide range of Craftsman chain-drive openers, but you should always match by model number.
Can I replace the gears myself?
Yes, with basic tools and mechanical ability. Always disconnect power before opening the motor housing.
