problems with your opener?

Here are some common signs to look for that indicate you may need to replace your garage door opener.

Garage Door Won’t Open or Close

One of the most obvious signs that your garage door opener needs to be replaced or repaired is when you press the button to open or close your door and it doesn’t budge. Whether it doesn’t close at all or sticks halfway through, if this is your situation, there are several glitches that you can try to fix before calling a professional.

  1. Dead Remote Batteries: Before you get ahead of yourself and assume that your opener is broken, it’s important to test all your garage door remotes and the wall unit to rule out the issue of dead batteries. If one of your remotes needs new batteries, replace the batteries in all your remotes so they will be consistent in their performance.

  2. Door Not Connected To Opener: You may also notice the light on your opener come on, but not respond when you press your remote. If this is the case, then there may be an issue with how your door is programmed or how it’s connected. Perhaps you had a power loss that disconnected it. Use the manual to reconnect at the proper point of installation

Garage Door Works Intermittently

A potential cause of this problem is a wiring issue, which can be difficult to troubleshoot on your own due to the intricacy of the insides of a garage door opener. If you’ve ruled out low batteries as the cause or if your remote control is working correctly, then it’s time to contact a professional garage door technician.  If you have a garage door that opens or closes by itself without you pressing the button, your safety and security is at risk. Immediately call an expert to fix this problem before it becomes worse.

Garage Door Opens Then Reverses

Most openers use an internal mechanism to figure out where the door is, so if something is wrong with that, the opener can’t see where it should go next. When this happens and the opener reverses, it may be that the unit reversed toward a wall or another object, so check and make sure nothing is in its way when you try again.

Garage Door Opener Makes Noises

If you start hearing your garage door opener make noises that you’ve never heard before as it opens or closes the door, it’s likely that it needs to be repaired or replaced. Even if you’ve noticed that it’s been louder than usual, you should have a professional look at it. If you notice that your garage door opener is constantly loud, it could just mean that it’s an older model.
