The diagnostic sequence determines everything in Apollo. EZ Open performs the manual release test first on every won't-open call in Apollo, PA. The emergency release cord is pulled to disconnect the door from the opener trolley in Apollo. The door is manually lifted in Apollo, PA. If the door lifts easily and holds its position, the opener is the source of the problem in Apollo. 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 Apollo, PA. 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 Apollo. Three completely different repair paths determined by a thirty-second test in Apollo, PA. This test is why EZ Open doesn't replace the opener when the spring is the problem in Apollo.

Every garage door won't-open situation has a specific cause in Apollo. The specific cause determines the specific repair in Apollo, PA. A spring replacement when the cause is a disconnected trolley wastes $150 to $250 and leaves the door still not working in Apollo. An opener replacement when the cause is a broken spring wastes $300 to $600 and leaves the door still not working in Apollo, PA. The manual release test costs thirty seconds and tells EZ Open which of the three repair paths applies to the specific situation in Apollo.
A repair performed for the confirmed cause resolves the problem on the first visit in Apollo. A repair performed for the assumed cause may or may not resolve the problem depending on whether the assumption was correct in Apollo, PA.

The manual release cord disconnects the door from the opener trolley in Apollo, PA. With the trolley disconnected, the door can be manually lifted without the opener in Apollo. EZ Open performs this test before examining the opener, before examining the spring, and before examining anything else in Apollo, PA. The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Apollo. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Apollo, PA.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Apollo. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Apollo, PA. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Apollo. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Apollo, PA.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Apollo, PA. The opener is the source of the symptom in Apollo. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Apollo, PA. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Apollo.
If the manual lift reveals a door that won't move at all, neither heavy nor light, just physically stopped, the door has a physical blockage in the travel path in Apollo. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Apollo, PA. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Apollo. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Apollo, PA.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Apollo, PA. Door too heavy means spring repair in Apollo. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Apollo, PA. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Apollo. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Apollo, PA. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Apollo.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Apollo, PA. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Apollo. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Apollo, PA. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Apollo. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Apollo, PA.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Apollo. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Apollo, PA. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Apollo. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Apollo, PA. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Apollo.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in Apollo. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position in Apollo, PA. The door hardware is functioning correctly in Apollo. The opener is the source of the symptom in Apollo, PA. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Apollo.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in Apollo. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Apollo, PA. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Apollo. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Apollo, PA. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Apollo. No component is damaged or failed in Apollo, PA.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in Apollo, PA. The door can't travel in either direction through the blockage in Apollo. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Apollo, PA. Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in Apollo. Off-track repair with cause identification is required before the door can open correctly in Apollo, PA.
A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Apollo, PA. The wall button will operate the door normally in Apollo. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Apollo, PA. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Apollo. If the door doesn't respond to either the remote or the wall button, the problem is in the opener or door hardware and a service call is warranted in Apollo, PA.
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 Apollo. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Apollo, PA. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Apollo. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Apollo, PA. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Apollo.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Apollo. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in Apollo, PA. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in Apollo. Track clearing or track repair is required to restore full travel in Apollo, PA.
Before any other action, try the wall button inside the garage in Apollo, PA. If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in Apollo. Replace the remote battery first in Apollo, PA. If the wall button also produces no response, the problem is in the opener or door hardware and EZ Open's service is needed in Apollo.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Apollo. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Apollo, PA. Pull the red emergency release cord toward the door to re-engage the carriage in Apollo. If the door then opens with the opener, no repair was needed in Apollo, PA.
Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in Apollo, PA. A broken spring has a visible gap in the otherwise continuous coil where the wire separated in Apollo. If a gap is visible, do not attempt to open the door in Apollo, PA. Call EZ Open for same-day broken spring repair in Apollo.
Running the opener repeatedly against a door that won't open risks stripping the drive gear in Apollo. Manually pulling a door that's jammed from a cable failure or off-track condition can damage the panel at the force application point in Apollo, PA. Forcing a door with a broken cable can release the door suddenly in Apollo. The cost of the forced damage adds to whatever the original repair cost would have been in Apollo, PA.
If you must access the garage before EZ Open arrives in Apollo, PA, use the external keyed emergency release if your door has one in Apollo. If not, use the manual release cord carefully with at least one other person present in Apollo, PA. With a broken spring, the door is very heavy and will not hold a raised position in Apollo. Lift only the minimum amount required and do not stand under the door in Apollo, PA.
