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

The manual release test costs thirty seconds and tells EZ Open which of the three repair paths applies to the specific situation in Okemos.

The manual release cord disconnects the door from the opener trolley in Okemos, MI. With the trolley disconnected, the door can be manually lifted without the opener in Okemos. EZ Open performs this test before examining the opener, before examining the spring, and before examining anything else in Okemos, MI. The result of the manual lift immediately narrows the cause to one of three categories in Okemos. It takes thirty seconds and prevents misdiagnosis in Okemos, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Okemos. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Okemos, MI. Both cables are assessed simultaneously for condition and drum seating in Okemos. If the spring is broken and a cable is also broken from the shock load, both are addressed together in Okemos, MI.
If the manual lift reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position, the door hardware is functioning correctly in Okemos, MI. The opener is the source of the symptom in Okemos. EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Okemos, MI. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Okemos.
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 Okemos. EZ Open assesses the track for obstructions, damage, and misalignment in Okemos, MI. Both cables are inspected for failure that may have caused the door to jam in the track in Okemos. Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Okemos, MI.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Okemos, MI. Door too heavy means spring repair in Okemos. Door lifts freely means opener assessment in Okemos, MI. Door won't move means physical blockage assessment in Okemos. Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Okemos, MI. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Okemos.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Okemos, MI. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Okemos. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Okemos, MI. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Okemos. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Okemos, MI.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Okemos. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Okemos, MI. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Okemos. Inspection finds a loose cable at the bottom corner of the lower side in Okemos, MI. Cable replacement and spring assessment are required in Okemos.
A failed opener component prevents the opener from producing the force needed to move the door in Okemos. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily and holds its position in Okemos, MI. The door hardware is functioning correctly in Okemos. The opener is the source of the symptom in Okemos, MI. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Okemos.
The emergency release cord disconnects the trolley carriage from the trolley in Okemos. If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Okemos, MI. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Okemos. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Okemos, MI. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Okemos. No component is damaged or failed in Okemos, MI.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in Okemos, MI. The door can't travel in either direction through the blockage in Okemos. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Okemos, MI. Visual inspection finds the roller or rollers outside the track channel in Okemos. Off-track repair with cause identification is required before the door can open correctly in Okemos, MI.
A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Okemos, MI. The wall button will operate the door normally in Okemos. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Okemos, MI. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Okemos. 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 Okemos, 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 Okemos. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Okemos, MI. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Okemos. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Okemos, MI. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Okemos.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Okemos. The door opens to the obstruction point and stops in Okemos, MI. The manual release test may show the door lifting partially and then stopping at the obstruction in Okemos. Track clearing or track repair is required to restore full travel in Okemos, MI.
Before any other action, try the wall button inside the garage in Okemos, MI. If the wall button opens the door, the problem is with the remote rather than the door or opener in Okemos. Replace the remote battery first in Okemos, 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 Okemos.
Look at the opener trolley and the carriage bracket that connects to the door in Okemos. If the carriage hook is hanging freely rather than engaged in the trolley, the emergency release was pulled and not reconnected in Okemos, MI. Pull the red emergency release cord toward the door to re-engage the carriage in Okemos. If the door then opens with the opener, no repair was needed in Okemos, MI.
Look at the torsion spring on the shaft above the door opening in Okemos, MI. A broken spring has a visible gap in the otherwise continuous coil where the wire separated in Okemos. If a gap is visible, do not attempt to open the door in Okemos, MI. Call EZ Open for same-day broken spring repair in Okemos.
Running the opener repeatedly against a door that won't open risks stripping the drive gear in Okemos. 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 Okemos, MI. Forcing a door with a broken cable can release the door suddenly in Okemos. The cost of the forced damage adds to whatever the original repair cost would have been in Okemos, MI.

If not, use the manual release cord carefully with at least one other person present in Okemos, MI. With a broken spring, the door is very heavy and will not hold a raised position in Okemos.
