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

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

Reconnecting the carriage to the trolley resolves the symptom immediately in Schererville. No component is damaged or failed in Schererville, IN.

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

Replace the remote battery first in Schererville, IN. 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 Schererville.

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