Answer 1

The springs were mentioned sufficiently by others, so I'll suggest another FYI:

Take a look at the cable that comes up from the bottom section along both sides of the sections. They are supposed to be connected to the drums. If a cable is not perfectly nested in its drum, and more like all tangled from coming off, it's gonna cause problems trying to get the door to move at all. It should move a little, but assuming the other side is working properly, the door will want to lift on one side and then jam.

If this is happening, the springs will have to be unwound, the cables re-attached, and the springs wound again.

Wound springs do not care for human flesh, so if you want to live, be very careful and know the consequences of every move you make. Typically all you need is a 3/8" end wrench and a couple 16" long x 3/8" rods to stick in the winding holes. Always ensure your rods are completely in the winding holes before changing hands.

Keep in mind that if you have only one spring, you need to lock the torsion bar in place so that the cable on the good drum doesn't unwind while you're unwinding the spring. And remember to unlock the bar (I usually use a 6" x 3/8" socket extension with a bungie chord wrapped around it and the upper track, but you can also use a pipe wrench or have somebody else hold the bar tight, far away from the spring) before you open the door back up.

Otherwise, just call an overhead door man to come out for $100 and fix it for you. My minimum charge is $90 for this stuff.

Answer 2

First of all, look at the outer edges of the door, there should be two little black panels, with either a red or green type of 'screen' on them, This is the laser sensor that stops the door from closing on objects. Dust those off, sometimes if they get dusty or wet, they will cause the door to not open or close. Also, check the batteries within the individual door openers. If none of the above works, look in the phone book under garage doors, or go to yellowbook.com to find some places. These repairs can be major or minor it really varies. Also depending on your home, check your fuse box, circuit breaker set-up and make sure the door system is actually receiving power.

Answer 4

first check your spring it could be broke, more than likely that is the problem,,, It is better to call a professional to fix your problem,,, the safety eyes only kick in when the door is going down , not up they keep the door from crushing people and animals who may be under the door. and also, what kind of operator is it and model????

Answer 5

Check the springs. The same happen to me last week. The spring broke, this is what lifts the door. No spring, no lifting power. Also, maybe it is off the track.....

Answer 6

Is there power to the unit? It will hummm if there is power and that could mean the gears are out on it.
I hope the breaker is tripped and there is no power other wise you will need a new unit.
