Garage door opener not working properly

I have a Wayne Dalton garage door opener.
model # 2115
It will close door but will not open it.
Can hear the motor running, but not lifting the door. The opener will close the door fine.

When you disconnect the garage door from the trolley by pulling the release cord, can you operate the door by hand fairly easily? It should not be impossible to raise manually.

When you lift the door manually it should be able to stay at about the halfway point without falling or rising. What kind of spring system do you have? Torsion or tension? Most likely you need new springs.
