Call Sears and replace it.

If you are anything like me you will call Sears rather than have a hole in your garage ceiling and a non-working pile of assorted parts.

Garage door openers aren't rocket science. If the track/chain are in good shape, you can buy a similar model and re-use most of the original mounting harware.

But, then I'm Cheap.

My mother's garage door died recently and it turned out the plastic gears inside were stripped. She contacted the manufacturer, got replacements, and I switched them out. It wasn't difficult at all and only took about an hour.

This may not be your problem, but before you totally replace, you might want to check for this by peeking inside the gear box.

I just had Sears do mine last week. Less stress and less cursing....

I just got Home Depot to put in a new one for me.

One hint - don't get the lightweight, cheap model if you have a wide door on a two car garage. They should be used only on lightweight (not wood) single car width doors.

If you do it yourself, read all of the instructions carefully before you begin.
