Resolve Common Problems of Electric Garage Door Openers in a Flash

In contrast to common belief, electric garage door openers do not provide the actual lifting of your heavy door. Their primary function is to control how far the garage door opens or closes. They are also in charge in controlling the force your door exerts.

Most electric garage openers nowadays have safety features installed so if something goes wrong, they just stop working. But nearly every time you just need make slight adjustments in order to make it work again. Here are some tips for common problems:

1. When the door opener does not work from the wall control, you need to check the circuit breaker and wiring. Look for breaks in the wires, rats and some insects can cut the wiring and stapling devices can short the wiring.

2. When the door opens for no reason, you need to erase the remote control memory and reprogram according to the owner's manual and also ensure that there are no shorts in the wiring. The wall control buttons should also be checked if they don't detach after pressing.

3. When the door starts down and suddenly stops and returns upward, check the safety LED system, most of the time it's just crooked or there's just dirt. Also check if the close force setting is the one stated in the owner's manual.

4. When the door is stuck closed (the mechanism not working), Check the open limit switch's wiring for shorts and check with the owner's manual for the proper settings.

5. When the Garage is stuck closed (the mechanism working), check the carriage if it's still connected to the drive and refer to the owner's manual for the open and close force settings.

6. When the door opener does not close, check the LED system, it might be crooked or there's dirt. Check for shorts in the Close Limit switch's wiring. Also check with the owner's manual for the proper force close settings.

7. When the Garage starts up but gets stuck, clean and lubricate the parts according to the owner's manual. Monthly inspection and maintenance is very important. Check for shorts in the Open Limit switch's wiring. Check the owner's manual for the proper Open Force setting.

8. When the remote control only works when very close to the door, try replacing the battery or reposition the antenna of the garage opener, if this doesn't work the remote might be broken and needs to be replaced.

An electric door opener is a convenient way to help you in your everyday life. But make sure it is properly maintained to avoid hassle. Manufacturers advise owners to inspect garage openers at least once a month in order to prevent serious problems that will probably be costly. You just need to inspect the springs and mounting hardware of the door and test the door balance and contact reverse. For reference in testing these parts, just look at the owner's manual.
