Common Garage Door Opener Problems
These are the most common garage door opener issues:
- Power loss: Lightning or power surges can cause your garage door to not open or close. If your garage door has trouble opening or closing at random, consider this as a possible cause.
- Loose chain: If the chain or belt of your garage door opener becomes slack, it can restrict the opening and closing of your garage door and potentially damage it. Call Hunter Door for emergency garage door opener repair to avoid more damage.
- Intermittent functioning: If your garage door is functioning intermittently and nothing else seems wrong, the remote control might be the issue or something may be interfering with the wireless signal, including LED lights. Call Hunter Door and we can help troubleshoot the issue as well as answer any questions you may have about smart garage door openers, with up-to-date features like WiFi connectivity, battery back-up and camera/video – all available through an app on your phone.
- Noisy operation: A noisy garage door can be caused by a variety of reasons. It can be due to improper installation or slack in the garage door opening chain, among other factors.
- Door not moving: If your garage door makes noise but doesn’t move, it might be due to a tight chain or a problem with the opener motor.
- Remote not working: When your garage door remote acts up, it could just need new batteries, but if that doesn’t fix the problem – there may be interference with the remote signal.
- Broken opener button: If the button on your wall to open the garage door is acting strange, it could be a broken switch or some wire trouble.
- Sensor issue: If your garage door opener blinks without doing anything, the sensors might be dirty or misaligned, sunlight could be causing trouble or there might be a wiring problem.
When to Replace Your Garage Door Opener
If you experience any of the following, we recommend replacing your garage door opener:
- Non-compliance: To pass inspection, Federal Requlations (UL 325) requires all residential garage door openers to have safety sensors; if your opener doesn’t have safety sensors, we recommend you replace your garage door opener.
- No safety eyes: We recommend replacing your garage door opener if no safety eyes are present. The garage door opener must have safety eyes to meet UL 325.
- Manufacturer recalls: In the event of a recall, it’s best to get a professional garage door opener repair or installation.
- Brand or model discontinuation: It is challenging to find parts for garage door openers of discontinued brands or models. It’s best to replace the opener with a current model.
