If the door is very heavy or won't hold a raised position, the spring has failed and the opener symptom is a consequence of the spring failure in Alderwood Manor, WA. If the door won't move at all manually, the door is physically stuck from a cable failure, track obstruction, or off-track condition in Alderwood Manor. Three completely different repair paths determined by a thirty-second test in Alderwood Manor, WA.

If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Alderwood Manor. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Alderwood Manor, WA.

Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Alderwood Manor. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Alderwood Manor, WA.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Alderwood Manor, WA. Door too heavy means spring repair in Alderwood Manor.

Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Alderwood Manor, WA. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Alderwood Manor.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Alderwood Manor, WA. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Alderwood Manor. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Alderwood Manor, WA. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Alderwood Manor. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Alderwood Manor, WA.

In cold climates, water from condensation or melting snow freezes at the contact point between the door's bottom seal and the garage floor overnight in Alderwood Manor. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Alderwood Manor, WA. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Alderwood Manor. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Alderwood Manor, WA. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Alderwood Manor.
