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

If the manual lift reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position, the spring system has failed in Phenix City. EZ Open visually confirms the spring failure by inspecting the torsion spring for a visible gap in the coil in Phenix City, AL.

EZ Open proceeds to the opener isolation sequence in Phenix City, AL. Remote first. Wall button second. Trolley carriage connection third. Opener component assessment fourth in Phenix City.
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 Phenix City.

Rollers are assessed for any that may have jumped the track channel in Phenix City, AL.
The manual release test result determines which of three completely different repair paths applies in Phenix City, AL. Door too heavy means spring repair in Phenix City.

Without this test, every won't-open situation looks the same from the outside in Phenix City, AL. With it, the correct diagnostic path is established in thirty seconds in Phenix City.
A broken torsion spring removes the counterbalancing force that makes the door movable by the opener in Phenix City, AL. The opener provides 10 to 20 pounds of net lifting force against a counterbalanced door in Phenix City. Without spring counterbalancing, the opener is trying to lift 150 to 400 pounds with 10 to 20 pounds of force in Phenix City, AL. The manual release test reveals a heavy door that won't hold its position in Phenix City. A visible gap in the torsion spring coil confirms the break in Phenix City, AL.
A broken cable allows one side of the door to drop, tilting the door in the track in Phenix City. The tilted door is physically jammed against the track walls and can't travel in either direction in Phenix City, AL. The manual release test reveals a door that won't move at all in Phenix City.

If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Phenix City, AL. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Phenix City.

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 Phenix City. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Phenix City, AL. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Phenix City. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Phenix City, AL. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Phenix City.
