Common Symptoms We See in New Orleans
If you recognize any of these signs, call before the problem turns into a bigger, more expensive repair.
Opener hums but door doesn't move
Usually a stripped gear inside the opener, a broken belt/chain, or a broken spring making the door too heavy.
Door reverses before closing fully
The most common cause is misaligned or dirty photo-eye sensors at the bottom of the tracks.
Remote or keypad stopped working
Usually a lost frequency code, a dead remote battery, or a failed logic board receiver.
Loud grinding or chain noise
Chain-drive openers get noisy when the chain loosens or the gear sprocket wears.
