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

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