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

If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Oconto. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Oconto, WI. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Oconto. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Oconto, WI.

EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Oconto, WI. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Oconto.
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 Oconto. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Oconto, WI. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Oconto. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Oconto, WI.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Oconto, WI. Door too heavy means spring repair in Oconto. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Oconto, WI. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Oconto. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Oconto, WI. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Oconto.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Oconto, WI. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Oconto. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Oconto, WI. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Oconto. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Oconto, WI.

Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Oconto, WI. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Oconto.

The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Oconto. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Oconto, WI. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Oconto. No component is damaged or failed in Oconto, WI.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Oconto, WI. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Oconto. 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 Oconto, WI.
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 Oconto. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Oconto, WI. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Oconto. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Oconto, WI. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Oconto.

Replace the remote battery first in Oconto, WI. 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 Oconto.

If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Oconto, WI.
