What to Do When Your Garage Door Won’t Open
Check power first – make sure the opener is plugged in and the breaker hasn’t tripped.
Try the wall button and remote – if one works and the other doesn’t, it may be a control issue.
Look for obvious obstructions – items in the track or ice buildup can block movement.
Do not keep forcing the opener – repeated attempts can burn out the motor.
If the door still won’t move, stop using it and call us. Forcing it can cause additional damage to the opener, tracks, or door panels.
Garage Door Opener Motor Repairs in Denver
Modern garage door openers are complex systems that combine motors, gears, electronics, sensors, and safety features. Our technicians are trained to work on all major opener brands, including chain-drive, belt-drive, and screw-drive units.
Common motor and opener issues we handle:
-
Motor runs but the door doesn’t move
-
Opener hums or clicks and then shuts off
-
Door opens a little, then reverses or stops
-
Burning smell or visible smoke from the opener unit
-
Intermittent operation due to worn internal gears
-
Opener lights flash but the door won’t close
We perform thorough testing, including:
-
Amp draw tests on the motor
-
Inspection of internal gears and drive systems
-
Checking safety sensors and travel limits
-
Verifying proper balance of the garage door itself
If the motor can be safely repaired, we’ll repair it. If the unit is too old or badly damaged, we’ll recommend a sensible replacement option instead of endless repairs.
Common Signs of Garage Door Motor Failure
-
The opener is very noisy or suddenly louder
-

Repair vs. Replace: Honest Recommendations
Not every failing motor needs to be replaced. In many cases, repair is the most cost-effective solution. We’ll help you decide based on:
-
Age of the opener – newer units are often worth repairing; very old units may be better replaced.
-
Frequency of problems – repeated failures can indicate it’s time for a new opener.
-
Safety features – older units may lack modern safety and security options.
-
Cost comparison – if the repair is close in price to a new opener, we’ll tell you honestly.
Our technicians are not paid on commission, so you’ll always get recommendations focused on your best interest, not upsells.
