Why would a Garage Door Opener Stop Working?

There are several common reasons why a garage door opener may stop working properly over time. Worn out gears and chain/belt drive systems are susceptible parts that can fail after years of use, preventing the opener from lifting the door.

Modern openers also contain circuit boards and electronics that can malfunction, causing shorts or loose connections. The metal opener track itself can become bent or misaligned, jamming the trolley. The photo eyes sensors that detect objects and reverse the door can also become knocked out of alignment if bumped, which will disable the opener. And many openers have a reset button that trips when electrical issues occur, which just needs to be reset to regain function.

Our experienced technicians are very familiar with diagnosing garage door opener problems and recommending the right solution to get your system working again, whether it’s quality affordable repairs or new opener installation.

Common Reasons Garage Door Openers Break Down

There are various reasons why residential and commercial garage door openers break down, ranging from mechanical issues to electrical faults. In this article, we will explore some of the common reasons behind garage door opener failures and how our expert repair services can help resolve these issues promptly and efficiently.

  • Worn Gears: Over time, the gears inside a garage door opener can experience wear and tear due to continuous use. This wear can lead to decreased functionality, unusual noises, and even complete breakdowns. Our experienced technicians at Gator Garage Doors can diagnose and replace worn gears to restore your opener’s smooth operation.
 
  • Broken Belt/Chain: Garage door openers often operate using a belt or chain mechanism to move the door up and down. These components can break due to stress, improper alignment, or simply due to their natural lifespan. Our team can replace the broken belt or chain, ensuring that your garage door functions properly once again.
 
  • Bent Track: A misaligned or bent track can cause significant issues for your garage door opener. It can lead to the door getting stuck, making grinding noises, or even becoming completely inoperative. Our skilled technicians can assess and repair bent tracks, restoring proper alignment and ensuring smooth movement.
 
  • Misaligned Sensors: Modern garage door openers have safety sensors that prevent the door from closing if something like an object is detected. However, if these sensors become misaligned or dirty, they can cause the door to behave unpredictably. Our experts can recalibrate or clean the sensors to ensure reliable and safe operation.
 
  • Tripped Reset Button: Garage door openers often come with a reset button that can trip due to power surges or electrical issues. If your opener is unresponsive, this reset button could be the culprit. Our technicians are skilled at identifying and addressing these electrical concerns to get your opener back on track.
 
  • Electrical Problems: Electrical components within a garage door opener, such as circuit boards and wiring, can experience failures. This might result from power fluctuations, moisture exposure, or general wear. Our team can diagnose and fix electrical problems, restoring the proper functioning of your opener.
 
At Gator Garage Doors, we understand the importance of a smoothly operating garage door opener for the convenience and security of your home.

The technician, Randy, was exactly on time and very efficient in fixing the problem. He also took time to explain what might have caused it. Minor issue. I’m delighted with the garage door and the only issue I’ve ever had was this problem with the combination on the front keypad.
