Why Your Garage Door Opener May Not Be Responding
It's not uncommon for homeowners to experience frustration when their garage door opener fails to respond, even though it appears to be receiving power. This situation can feel like a conversation with someone who is physically present but completely disengaged — the lights are on, but no one is home. In this article, we’ll explore why your garage door opener may not be responding and what you can do about it.
When your garage door opener is getting power but doesn’t open or close the door as expected, there could be several underlying issues. Common causes include an engaged door lock, a broken spring or cable, damaged rollers or misaligned tracks, or a malfunctioning opener itself. Additionally, the opener’s disconnect switch might have been accidentally turned off, which can prevent the system from operating properly.
If you suspect that the issue is something simple like an engaged lock or a disconnected switch, you may be able to resolve it quickly on your own. However, if the problem involves more complex components such as springs, cables, or internal mechanisms, it’s best to seek professional help. These parts are under high tension and can be dangerous if handled incorrectly.
