Garage door openers allow you to easily and efficiently access your garage. If you experience any problems with your opener, you should contact a professional repair company to take care of the issue.
One common issue that can occur with your opener is a malfunctioning limit switch. Limit settings tell the opener when it is time to stop moving and when it is time to open. These limits are programmed to match the size of various garage doors.
Another issue can be an overheating motor. Overheating motors can cause the opener to work improperly. You can check the garage door opener’s manual for a list of what the motor does and how to adjust it.
Another common problem is a stuck door. If your garage door won’t open or close, it may be due to damaged or worn torsion springs. Broken springs can pose a safety hazard and need to be replaced.
Other issues include a broken remote antenna. This could be caused by a foreign object in the path of the antenna or a misdirected signal. Cleaning or reprogramming the garage door opener’s receiver is a good option.
If your opener’s radio frequency is not working, you can replace it with a universal remote. A new receiver will automatically update your older model opener.
Some models of garage door openers have a locking mode. To lock your door, you’ll need to hold down the keypad button for several seconds.
