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

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

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 West Salem, WI. Forcing a door with a broken cable can release the door suddenly in West Salem. The cost of the forced damage adds to whatever the original repair cost would have been in West Salem, WI.
