Common Garage Door Openers Repair Problems.
Are you suddenly experiencing problems with your garage door opener? Does it not open all the way? Does it not respond to the remote? Or is there another issue making it difficult to operate your garage door? Often, these concerns are straightforward to identify and can be resolved easily.
While some problems can be fixed on your own, others require professional assistance. It’s important not to experiment too much with your garage door opener, as a small mistake can lead to significant costs. Only attempt repairs if you are confident in your abilities.
Here are some of the most common garage door opener problems you can come across:
1. Opener not operating with remote control or wall switch
If your garage door doesn’t respond when you press the remote control or wall switch, there may be a disruption in the electrical power source. First, check to ensure the door opener is properly plugged into the outlet. Next, verify that the fuse, GFCI outlet, or circuit breaker has not tripped. Another possibility is that the garage door opener’s motor has burned out and needs attention.
Our service representatives at Garage Door Solutions can handle all these issues efficiently.
We are skilled in managing electrical wiring, short-circuiting, and motor replacements to get your garage door functioning smoothly again.
2. Garage door doesn’t open with wireless keypad or remote control
There are many reasons why your garage door won’t respond to the remote control or wireless keypad. One of the first reasons is the range of the antenna. You may be too far away, and a few feet of distance can hamper the signal. Try moving closer to the garage door.
If the door functions properly with the hardwired wall switch, there is likely a problem with your remote control. This could mean that you need to replace the batteries in your wireless keypad or remote control.
If these solutions don’t help, contact a professional who can reprogram the remote control and check for other issues.
3. The garage door reverses as soon as it touches the floor
If the garage door leaps upward immediately after hitting the floor, there is a problem with the close limit switch. An issue with this adjustment screw can cause the garage door to reverse before touching the floor or not close all the way.
Our service person will adjust the close-limit adjustment screw on the door opener motor and ensure that the door functions smoothly. This should be checked carefully during garage door installation to prevent future problems. Contact Garage Door Solutions LLC for expert assistance.
