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

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

The opener is the source of the symptom in Salem Heights, OH. Component assessment identifies the specific failed component in Salem Heights.

If the carriage was disconnected and not reconnected, the opener runs the trolley along the rail while the carriage and door sit stationary in Salem Heights, OH. The door appears completely unopened and unresponsive in Salem Heights. The manual release test reveals a door that lifts easily because the carriage is already disconnected in Salem Heights, OH. Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Salem Heights. No component is damaged or failed in Salem Heights, OH.
A door that has come off its track has a roller outside the track channel creating a physical blockage in Salem Heights, OH.

A dead remote battery produces a door that doesn't respond to the remote in Salem Heights, OH. The wall button will operate the door normally in Salem Heights. If the door opens with the wall button but not the remote, replace the remote battery before calling for service in Salem Heights, OH. A new battery resolves this in approximately two minutes in Salem Heights. 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 Salem Heights, OH.
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 Salem Heights. The frozen bond holds the door to the floor despite the opener providing its normal lifting force in Salem Heights, OH. The manual release test typically reveals a door that's very difficult to lift manually as the ice bond resists upward force in Salem Heights. Gentle heat application at the floor seal breaks the ice bond in most cases in Salem Heights, OH. Do not run the opener repeatedly against a frozen door in Salem Heights.
An object in the track, debris accumulation at a specific point, or a bent track section narrows the channel below the roller diameter in Salem Heights.

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

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