Why Is My Garage Door Opener Not Working?
If your garage door opener is not working, here are some steps to help with an initial diagnosis.
Safety First
Always unplug the opener and cut power before checking.
Step 1: Inspect the Chain or Belt
Look at the chain or belt to see if it’s bent, loose, or broken. If it looks normal, move on to the opener case.
Step 2: Check the Opener Case
Open the garage door opener case and inspect the inside. Look for worn-out or burned components. If a specific part is damaged, contact the opener manufacturer for replacement parts.
Step 3: Check Door Hardware
Sometimes the issue isn’t with the opener itself. A broken garage door spring or stuck rollers can increase the weight of your garage door, putting extra strain on the opener. When this happens, your opener may stop lifting the door or cause the gear bracket to wear out quickly. Prompt inspection and repair will prevent more costly damage.
