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

The manual release cord disconnects the door from the opener trolley in New Chicago, IN. With the trolley disconnected, the door can be manually lifted without the opener in New Chicago.

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

The opener is the source of the symptom in New Chicago, IN. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in New Chicago.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in New Chicago. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in New Chicago, IN. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in New Chicago. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in New Chicago, IN. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in New Chicago. No component is damaged or failed in New Chicago, IN.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in New Chicago, IN.

Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in New Chicago. Off-track repair with cause identification is required before the door can open correctly in New Chicago, IN.
A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in New Chicago, IN. The wall button will operate the door normally in New Chicago. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in New Chicago, IN. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in New Chicago. 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 New Chicago, IN.
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 New Chicago. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in New Chicago, IN. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in New Chicago. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in New Chicago, IN. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in New Chicago.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in New Chicago. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in New Chicago, IN. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in New Chicago.

Before any other action, try the wall button inside the garage in New Chicago, IN. If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in New Chicago. Replace the remote battery first in New Chicago, IN. 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 New Chicago.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in New Chicago. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in New Chicago, IN.

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