Opener runs, door stays
Why an opener hums or clicks and the door does not move
The sound tells you the opener has power.
The door is too heavy
A broken spring leaves the opener trying to lift the whole door. It hums, strains and stops, and the spring is replaced.
The release has been pulled
If someone pulled the red release cord, the opener runs but is not connected to the door.
A stripped drive gear
Inside the motor housing, a drive gear turns the chain or belt. When its teeth wear off, the motor hums and nothing moves.
A click and nothing else
A click with no hum and no movement can come from a fault inside the opener.
A binding door
A door jammed in its track, or with a frozen roller, will not move even for a good opener. The door is repaired first.
Opener repair
Repairing an opener or fitting a new one
One failed part
A worn drive gear or a travel switch on an opener with a sound motor is an opener repair.
A failed motor
When the motor itself has burned out, ask about a new opener.
A new door
A new opener can go in with a new door, fitted at the same time.
Controls
Remote or wall button not working
Remote only
The remote has lost its pairing with the opener, or the remote itself has failed.
Wall button only
The button or the thin wire from it to the opener has failed, and the button or wire is replaced.
Both controls fail
When neither the remote nor the wall button moves the door, the fault is in the opener or its power supply.
An opener that stops or reverses partway
Some openers move the door but stop short, or turn around halfway down. The opener has two settings that control this: how far the door travels, and how hard the opener pushes before it treats something as in the way. If either is off, the door stops early or reverses at the floor. Resetting them is an opener repair.
Weather seals
Gaps, drafts and debris under the door
A closed door should meet the floor and the frame with no daylight showing. When it does not, the seals are due.
Light or debris along the bottom
The rubber seal on the bottom of the door has flattened, split or pulled out of its channel, and leaves, dirt and water come in under it. A new bottom seal is fitted.
Light down the sides or top
The stop seal on the jambs and header has cracked or come loose. It is replaced along each side and across the top.
A bent or cracked retainer
The channel that holds the bottom rubber can bend or crack, and a new rubber will not stay in it. The retainer is replaced along with the rubber.
Other repairs
The rest of the garage door
Cables
A frayed or snapped lift cable is replaced.
Tracks, rollers and hinges
A door off track is set back, and worn rollers and cracked hinges are replaced.
Safety sensors
Sensors out of line are reset, and failed ones are replaced.
New doors
New doors are measured to the opening.
