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 El Portal. Three completely different repair paths determined by a thirty-second test in El Portal, FL. This test is why EZ Open doesn't replace the opener when the spring is the problem in El Portal.

The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in El Portal. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in El Portal, FL.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in El Portal. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in El Portal, FL. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in El Portal. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in El Portal, FL.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in El Portal, FL. The opener is the source of the symptom in El Portal. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in El Portal, FL. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in El Portal.
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 El Portal. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in El Portal, FL. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in El Portal. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in El Portal, FL.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in El Portal, FL. Door too heavy means spring repair in El Portal. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in El Portal, FL. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in El Portal. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in El Portal, FL. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in El Portal.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in El Portal, FL. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in El Portal. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in El Portal, FL. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in El Portal. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in El Portal, FL.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in El Portal. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in El Portal, FL. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in El Portal. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in El Portal, FL. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in El Portal.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in El Portal.

The opener is the source of the symptom in El Portal, FL. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in El Portal.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in El Portal. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in El Portal, FL. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in El Portal. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in El Portal, FL. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in El Portal. No component is damaged or failed in El Portal, FL.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in El Portal, FL. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in El Portal. 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 El Portal, FL.
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 El Portal. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in El Portal, FL. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in El Portal. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in El Portal, FL. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in El Portal.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in El Portal. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in El Portal, FL. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in El Portal.

Replace the remote battery first in El Portal, FL. 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 El Portal.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in El Portal. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in El Portal, FL.

Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in El Portal, FL. A broken spring has a visible gap in the otherwise continuous coil where the wire separated in El Portal.
