Common Problems
Why Is My Garage Door Opener Not Working?
Most opener problems come from five causes: dead remote or keypad batteries, dirty or misaligned safety sensors, a tripped breaker or unplugged unit, a worn drive gear, or a door that is out of balance. The first three are quick checks you can do yourself. A stripped gear, a burned out motor, or a failing circuit board needs a technician.
Try This First
Quick Checks Before You Call
1
Replace the batteries in your remote or keypad.
2
Wipe both safety sensor lenses near the floor and make sure each light stays solid, not blinking.
3
Check that the opener is plugged in and the breaker is on.
4
Look for a lock or vacation button on the wall control and turn it off.
If the door still will not move, or the motor runs without lifting the door, stop pressing the button and call us. Running the opener against a broken spring or a stuck door can strip the gear and turn a small repair into a bigger one.
Repair or Replace
Repair or Replace Your Garage Door Opener?
Most openers last 10 to 15 years. Repair usually makes sense when the unit is under 10 years old and the problem is one part, like a gear, sensor, or circuit board. Replacement makes more sense when the opener is past 15 years, breaks down often, or was made before 1993, because those older units lack the safety sensors federal rules have required since then. We tell you which option costs less over time before any work starts.

Safety First
Safety Sensors and the Auto Reverse Test
Every opener made since 1993 must stop and reverse when something blocks the door. The photo eye sensors near the floor and the force settings inside the motor handle this job. To test yours, lay a 2×4 board flat under the door and close it. The door should reverse as soon as it touches the board. If it does not, the opener is not safe to use until it is adjusted or repaired.

This is almost always the safety sensors. If the two sensors near the floor are dirty, bumped out of line, or blocked, the opener will not close the door. Clean the lenses and line them up until both lights stay solid.
