There are many causes for a garage door failure. Understanding the following reasons will prepare you to deal with the situation once you experience this problem:

Something is blocking the photo-eye

Photo-eyes are included in garage doors older than 15 years. This feature can detect if something is blocking the door so that it does not go down all the way. Usually, placed at the garage door base, the photo-eye will be about four to six inches above the ground. Once the laser light is blocked, the garage door will stop in place and will not move again until the beam is restored.

Outlet not working

Check that your garage door opener is plugged into an outlet that is not defective. For power source issues, examine your circuit breaker or fuse to make sure it is working correctly. You may have also unplugged the power, or the plug may have become loosened, so check to ensure it is plugged in properly. Also, check if the garage door lock is engaged. If the door doesn’t open even with the motor running, find the garage door lock to see if any metal parts have slid down to the access bar.

Torsion Springs broke

If you hear cracking, snapping, or banging like gunshots or fireworks, it is a warning that your garage door torsion spring is breaking. Remember that with your garage door assembly, the springs are the first part that typically breaks. Make sure that you seek the expertise of a professional garage door repair service provider.

Snapped cables

Garage door cables can snap when a torsion spring breaks. This issue can pose a safety risk to anyone in the way so it is best to call for garage door service immediately.

Proper adjustments of a garage door level

When the garage door level is set to too low or too high, a garage door will stop operating. Proper adjustments should be done by a garage door service technician so that the garage door will operate properly again.

Remote Control is not working

Double-check to make sure you are within the remote control’s range and that the antenna is not blocked from the signal. Also, check and possibly replace the remote’s batteries to make sure it is working correctly. If all else fails, the remote may need reprogramming, which you can do with the help of reliable residential garage door repair technicians.

Limit setting requires adjustment

The garage door limit setting should have the correct adjustment made to help the mechanism determine the distance to move the door up and down. When you see the garage door not closing properly, it means the settings are not set right. In addition, it is recommended that you wipe the garage door tracks to remove any particles, since any unseen obstacle will cause the door to stop moving.
