Troubleshooting Your Garage Door Issues
If your garage door won’t go up or down, the first thing to check is the power source. Make sure the opener is connected to a power outlet and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. If you can easily access the outlet powering your opener, try plugging in a hairdryer to see if you have power.
If your door is going down or part of the way down and coming right back up, inspect your sensors for alignment. Additional symptoms of sensor misalignment include you having to hold down the garage door button until the door is closed and the light on the opener flashing. Click here for a short video on how you can realign your sensors.
If the power is on and the sensors are aligned and yet the door still won’t move or is making loud noises, it’s best to call the professionals at Garage Door Doctor. We will assess the issue and provide a cost-effective solution to get your garage door functioning correctly again.
Common garage door issues that homeowners may encounter include:
- Broken Springs: Garage door springs are under high tension and can break over time, causing the door to become difficult to open or close.
- Misaligned Tracks: If the tracks that guide the garage door become bent or misaligned, the door may not operate smoothly or may get stuck.
- Damaged Panels: Panels can become dented, cracked, or warped due to accidental impacts or exposure to extreme weather conditions.
- Malfunctioning Garage Door Opener: Issues with the garage door opener, such as faulty sensors, worn-out gears, or electronic malfunctions, can prevent the door from opening or closing properly.
- Noisy Operation: Excessive squeaking, grinding, or banging noises during operation can indicate worn-out rollers, loose hardware, or insufficient lubrication.
- Stuck or Jammed Door: A garage door that gets stuck or jams during opening or closing could be due to issues with the springs, tracks, or opener.
- Safety Sensor Problems: Garage doors equipped with safety sensors may not close properly if the sensors are misaligned or obstructed.
- Weatherstripping Issues: Worn or damaged weatherstripping around the garage door can allow drafts, moisture, or pests to enter the garage.
- Remote Control Malfunctions: Problems with the garage door remote, such as weak batteries, signal interference, or programming issues, can prevent remote operation.
