Define "not working". What does (not) happen when you try? Did you check the brush settings, especially Opacity? If the opacity of the brush is (close to) zero, then indeed the brush won't work.

I was trying to heal a beige spot and turn it white like the surrounding area. I checked the original placement and where it was picking up from (all white area) and opacity was 100. It acted like the opacity was much lower and never fully got rid of the beige. Tried remove, heal and stamp. Same ressults.

That is very strange and I cannot reproduce that. The Healing brush may pick up the old background color, but the Clone Stamp should simply replace the spot by what it picks up, and not change anything. So if it picks from the white area, then the spot should become white. Did you try if resetting the preferences works? https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/
