Garage Door OperatorsSee more.
Some steps to help you identify and isolate your garage door operator woes:
- Check the power. Is the operator plugged in? Has a breaker been tripped? Do you need to replace the batteries in your remote?
- Is the operator trolley latched to the door (if not, you may have discovered your problem)? If so, disconnect the door from the operator by pulling the emergency release (red handle, attached to rope and latch) down and release the latch.
-
3. DOOR WON'T GO UP: Once the operator and door are disconnected, try and lift the door manually. If the door is hard to lift or very heavy then the problem may be the springs, rollers or hinges rather than the operator itself. If the door is easy to lift, you should reconnect the door and try operating again.
-
3. DOOR WON'T GO DOWN: Once the operator and door are disconnected, press the button to see whether the lights flash. Also, check that the door's photo eyes are unobstructed and correctly positioned (sunlight, items dangling from the bottom of the door and ill positioned eyes can set off the safety feature and prevent the door from going down.
