Worked great. It was the screw to bring up the pressure when opening. Thanks !

On opening it would only rise about 20 cm and stop. Turned the lift screw up half a kilo and it works beautifully. Thank you.

Hello. Appreciate your explanation for the garage truble. The issue i have for my grage door its open then stuck in between some times during opning or closing. Note: the led light for the senser is turned off during the issue

@BigChuck525 2 жыл бұрын

Should always start with the simple possible causes first. Video didn't even mention checking remote batteries. And what about the electronic eye near the floor on either side of door opening? It is very common to have something blocking one of these sensors, it being bumped out of alignment or covered with dirt and spiderwebs. I'd check and eliminate the easy causes before moving on to the harder ones, especially before climbing a ladder.

Hello one of my sensors is red and the other is green, how do I fix this issue?

@shawnc3211 Жыл бұрын

Another easy one to check before the other complicated ones that he didn’t mention would be the GFCI plug…it’s also common

@shawnc3211 Жыл бұрын

Should add “Check the GFCI outlet” as this is also common

Hi so my garage door doesn't open. If I press the remote it sounds like opening but nothing. The light comes on but doesnt open.. please help. It's been two weeks and I am manually opening the garage door.. thank you..

Hi Belinda, Make sure the latch on the arm holding the door to the chain or belt on the track is engaged. With the opener in the up position (bracket close to the motor) manually open the door and lift until you hear it click and then try and operate the door. Also check to see that the safety eyes bully the door opening are looking at each other and the status lights are green. Hope this helps!

I have been a mantanance tech for years. If its attached to the track at the pull release and is still not opening. 9 times out of ten the the worm gear has striped. They msake them out of a polymer of some kind.

Related to this video, if someone sent you a video of a non functioning garage door opener and the symptoms, would you be able to randomly stab at what you think it could be?

@AceHardware 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Gunner, We suggest taking the video to your local Ace to try and diagnose the issue.

Hi, my garage door opener unit doesn't work. The light on ceiling unit doesn't turn on. The lock isn't turned on the keypad. I clicked on buttons on the ceiling opener unit and it still doesn’t work. The ekectric power switch box shows it is getting power. I cleaned the sensors, which dont show a green light. Can anyone help me with suggestions?

@AceHardware 6 ай бұрын

Hi There, Try unplugging the unit and running an extension cord from an outlet you know works and see if it powers up. If so that outlet that it’s connected to might be running off of a GFCI outlet somewhere that is tripped if in fact the breaker is still on. Hope this helps!

Hi There, From the outside you will not be able to get in unless the emergency release has been released. Hope this helps!

If you recently had your home painted make sure the door isn’t painted shut. Happened to me.

The light on the garage door opener looks very faded when I press it or the garage door opener not opening the garage

@AceHardware Жыл бұрын

Hi Jeni, Would love to help, but need a little more information. The light on the actual button or the light on the opener hanging from above? And what’ not opening specifically? Is it the garage door button once you press it?

@manuelramos4608 10 ай бұрын

Okay so how do I fix it if I’m outside & can’t open it to go in?? I hate these electric doors 🤦🏻‍♂️

@AceHardware 10 ай бұрын

Hi There, If you do not have a keypad then you have to break in the garage because any repair would happen inside. Sorry!
