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

The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Michigan Center. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Michigan Center, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Michigan Center. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Michigan Center, MI. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Michigan Center. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Michigan Center, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Michigan Center, MI. The opener is the source of the symptom in Michigan Center. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Michigan Center, MI. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Michigan Center.
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 Michigan Center. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Michigan Center, MI. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Michigan Center. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Michigan Center, MI.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Michigan Center, MI. Door too heavy means spring repair in Michigan Center. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Michigan Center, MI. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Michigan Center. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Michigan Center, MI. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Michigan Center.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Michigan Center, MI. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Michigan Center. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Michigan Center, MI. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Michigan Center. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Michigan Center, MI.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Michigan Center. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Michigan Center, MI. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Michigan Center. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Michigan Center, MI. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Michigan Center.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in Michigan Center. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position in Michigan Center, MI. The door hardware is functioning correctly in Michigan Center. The opener is the source of the symptom in Michigan Center, MI. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Michigan Center.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in Michigan Center. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Michigan Center, MI. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Michigan Center. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Michigan Center, MI. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Michigan Center. No component is damaged or failed in Michigan Center, MI.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in Michigan Center, MI.

Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in Michigan Center.

A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Michigan Center, MI. The wall button will operate the door normally in Michigan Center. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Michigan Center, MI. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Michigan Center. 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 Michigan Center, MI.
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 Michigan Center. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Michigan Center, MI. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Michigan Center. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Michigan Center, MI. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Michigan Center.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Michigan Center. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in Michigan Center, MI. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in Michigan Center. Track clearing or track repair is required to restore full travel in Michigan Center, MI.
Before any other action, try the wall button inside the garage in Michigan Center, MI. If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in Michigan Center. Replace the remote battery first in Michigan Center, MI. 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 Michigan Center.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Michigan Center. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Michigan Center, MI.

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