What Are the Most Common Problems With Garage Door Openers?

Here are some common problems we often encounter with garage door openers at Modern Day Garage:

  1. The garage door opener wall console does not work:
    • If you find that the wall console is not working, the switch could be malfunctioning, there are wiring problems, or other power source issues.
  2. The garage door opener keypad does not work:
    • If the batteries on your keypad have died, the keypad will most likely not respond due to connection issues. We recommend reprogramming the keypad, which should resolve the issue.
  3. The garage door opener remote does not work:
    • If the garage door opener remote is not working, it could be due to dead batteries. This is the most common issue that causes the remote to not function. First, replace the batteries, and if the issue persists, reset the remote. If this has not fixed the remote, contact a garage door professional.
  4. The garage door is not opening or closing: 
    • If your garage door is not opening or closing, this could be due to misaligned sensors, damaged tracks, broken springs, or other structural issues. If you suspect a structural problem, contact a professional for assistance, as these issues can be a significant safety risk.
  5. The garage door reverses before closing all the way: 
    • If your garage door reverses before fully closing, there might be an issue with the safety sensors. Ensure there is nothing obstructing the sensors, which often resolves the problem.

If you suspect that you have any of the problems listed above and troubleshooting has not helped, contact Modern Day Garage of Columbus today. Our expert technicians will be able to help resolve any issues you are experiencing.

What Causes a Garage Door Opener to Stop Working?

Obstructed Photo Eye Sensor

An obstructed photo eye sensor is one of the main reasons that a garage door opener stops working. This feature is there to ensure the safety of your family. To make sure your photo eye sensor is working correctly, make sure there are no obstructions around your garage door’s photo eye sensor. Some items that can block the sensor include:

  • Dirt
  • Cobwebs
  • Debris
  • Children’s toys

These obstructions can impede on the sensor’s ability to detect obstacles. We also suggest checking that objects like tools, storage boxes, or parked vehicles are not in front of the sensors. Even the smallest of blockages can impede the signal or the sensor, causing the garage door opener to not work. 

Garage Door is Locked

Check that any manual locking mechanisms, such as a slide lock or T-handle lock, are disengaged before trying to operate the garage door. A blinking green light might indicate that the garage door is locked and won’t open. Also, inspect the tracks and rollers for any obstructions or debris that could impede a smooth operation.

Dead Transmitter Batteries

One of the most common causes of a garage door opener that is not working is dead batteries in the transmitter. Most garage door transmitters will start to blink or make noises when their batteries are running low. If you suspect your transmitter’s batteries need replacing, identify the type of transmitter you have and find the appropriate replacement batteries. If you encounter any difficulties, reach out to your local garage door technician at Modern Day Garage for assistance.

Misaligned Track

Misaligned garage door tracks can cause significant issues, one being that the opener will stop working. Misaligned tracks can result in rollers getting stuck, which prevents the door from opening and closing smoothly. In severe cases, the door might jam completely, posing a safety hazard and potentially trapping your vehicle inside or outside the garage. When this happens, the opener will not function and could be damaged further if you try to use the opener. 

Reliable Garage Door Opener Repairs

Once you have gone through the troubleshooting steps and have identified that the garage door opener is not working, contact Modern Day Garage of Columbus. If there are no obstructions to the sensors and your batteries are not dead, it might be time to consider a professional garage door service provider to fix your garage door opener. With over 60 years of experience, Modern Day Garage of Columbus is the trusted industry expert.

Installed a new door and opener for me. The sales team was very respectful and the installer was efficient and did not leave until everything was cleaned up.

The two technicians that came to my house to install the new door opener were professional. They did a great job. They also gave me a military discount.

Great service. Appointments were timely and good communication. The technician did all he could do to repair, which he did, vs replace our old but well functioning unit. Would absolutely call them for any problems but hopefully will not do need to:)
