DIY Garage Door Opener Repair Troubleshooting

If you are considering a garage door opener repair job, you may consider double-checking a few items yourself. While there are dangers to attempting sophisticated garage door repair work yourself, assessing the overall health and functionality of your garage door is something you can certainly complete with the right steps. First, you want to check the door. When the door is closed, pull the emergency release cord and see if it opens and closes smoothly. If it does not, you may have a problem with tracks, rollers, or springs rather than the garage door opener itself.

Above all, ensure you unplug the opener before you begin troubleshooting the problem. The last thing you want to do is risk a finger if another person in the house hits the remote button while you are checking things out. Furthermore, electrocution is a real danger. There is nothing wrong with playing it safe.

Yet, in some cases, you may find that the remote works but the wall switch does not. It may be either the switch or the switch wires that are the problem. Fortunately, there is no electrocution danger here, as the opener wires run on a low voltage and should not give you a shock. Did you know that if you have an older garage door opener model, you can actually use an old doorbell as your opener, otherwise you may need one that has multiple buttons.

When and Why Do You Need to Replace Your Garage Door Opener?

Garage door openers don’t last forever. On average, you can expect to get around a dozen years of life out of your garage door opener, give or take a year or two. Also, there are other factors that impact the life expectancy of your garage door opener, such as:

  • The drive system used to move your garage door up and down. (Chain Drive, Belt Drive, etc).
  • The weight of your garage door.
  • The quality of your garage door opener

One thing to note, however, is that regular maintenance can significantly increase the life of your opener. Sturdier versions are known to last 20 years or more with proper maintenance.

Want your garage door opener to last as long as possible?

Well, there are things you can do to help make that happen.

  • Visually inspect all springs, rollers, cables, tracks and the opener itself.
  • Lubricate any moving components.
  • Ensure the garage door is properly balanced.
  • Conduct a reverse test.
  • Listen for any strange sounds.

Still, it is important to consider that even if your garage door opener makes it beyond 20 years, you may consider replacing it at some point. Take models built prior to the mid-90s. They might not have sensors or other devices for increased safety. Plus, you’ll be more satisfied with a quieter unit.

It May Not be the Garage Door Opener

Yet don’t be so quick to dismiss your garage door opener as broken. It may be the opener is just fine, but that there is another problem. For instance, the number one reason a garage door opener might not open the garage door is that something is blocking the photo-eye sensor. If the laser the photo-eye uses gets obstructed, or if the signal is interrupted some other way, the door will not open, and for good reason; this is a critical safety feature. Even if it isn’t a large object, dirt and dust does an effective job blocking the sensor.

You may also have a power problem. This may sound oversimplified, but you would be surprised at how many well-meaning homeowners called a garage door repair professional because their opener was unplugged. It might be a circuit breaker or fuse, so even if it is plugged in, try other devices in the socket to make sure it isn’t something else.

Then, of course, it could be the door itself. If your garage door is off track or if the torsion springs are broken, nothing is going to happen. The telltale sign here is that the opener will obviously be powered and try to operate. Loose screws and door issues are problematic for the opener.

Live in or around the Akron-Canton area? Always remember, however, that if you are unsure as to whether you should check your garage door yourself, consult a professional. We are here to help, simply fill out the appointment form on our contact page today!
