Our garage door started having a problem where it stops shortly after it starts opening and refuses to open all the way and goes back up or down. Occasionally it would do this when the garage door closes too. Once I started looking into this it turns out that there are actually quite a few things that could cause this. Luckily for me, our fix was an easy one but if your garage door won't open or close all the way too, this video's for you. Just to get you some more ideas on what to check. Good luck!

Thank you, the video helped me fix my garage door, which wasn't closing all the way down. I turned off the garage door power from the switch, and the problem was fixed. GOD bless you!

This is exactly what my garage door was doing intermittently. A few times over the years I had lubed the tracks. I checked all ten boxes and the only thing I found wrong was dirty tracks. Couple of shop towels and some paint thinner later, the door seems to be operating as designed. Thanks for a great video.

Great video! The garage door is probably one of the most neglected parts of the house, unfortunately. 👍👍. Might also be a short, loose wire, in the control on the wall you press to open and close the door.

@WordofAdviceTV 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I agree, it usually only gets noticed once it stops working. 😅 Oh yes! Thank you for reason #11! That is also a possible problem.

@midulcesrecuerdos 6 месяцев назад

And reason #11 is that the springs on top of the door are weak, worn, or not doing their job any more, i had problem's with the door going half way a quarter way same as your example. after a while one of the springs broke and it got worse i had to really look for the problem and it was because the spring broke. changed both spring and all was well. Note. older springs? might have been wearing out or not piking up enough of the door weight

@WordofAdviceTV 6 месяцев назад

Good to know. Thank you for sharing your experience with the springs!

@midulcesrecuerdos 6 месяцев назад

@@WordofAdviceTV the springs were about $160 with the proper tools to spin the springs to tension . The garage door is supposed to be able to pull up easily so as to not put tension on the opener, I talked to the guys at the place I bough the springs and learned before I changed them out .

I just recently had the same problem with my garage door. After applying lubricant to the rollers, pins and overhead spring plus cleaning the tracks which usually does the trick. I had to lubricant the motor gear drive to get it to work properly.

@jacebotha2453 19 дней назад

On my garage l the chain looks loose, could this be the source of the garage opening half way?

@lorddabber3016 6 месяцев назад

This happens a few times a year with my Wayne-Dalton garage door. The very first thing I try and (so far) always works is unplugging the power cable attached to the ceiling of the opener control motor, wait 10 seconds, and re-attaching (as you said in the video as #7). I guess that's why Wayne-Dalton does not make opener control motors anymore...

@WordofAdviceTV 6 месяцев назад

Good to know that Wayne Dalton has that particular issue. Thank you for sharing!

@SDSunriser 5 месяцев назад

I notice when the sun is directly shining on the sensor, the garage door will not go down. I then manually pull the door all the way down.

@Christian-cp9hb 2 месяца назад

You can stand outside the door and allow your shadow to block the sun from the sensor then use the door closer remote.

Hey David! Thank you!! God is good, we are indeed very blessed and favored by the Lord. My condolences about the cold my friend. 😬 I was wondering why the views for my furnace videos started to ramp up.

@virgil3241 6 месяцев назад

Heres one that I didnt know, is sunlight can affect those sensors for closing. I had one door, but no the other, that wouldnt close during certain times of the day in the summer. Depending on the angle of the sun and time of day, it would think the sensor detected someone tripping it. Was very random. I probably spend a half an hour spring and then fall adjusting my garage doors. Lubricate rollers, check that all nuts, etc are tight, and lube and tighten the chain if needed and clean any gunk I see. Never have garage door issues.

@WordofAdviceTV 6 месяцев назад

The seals at the bottom slide into a bracket as you said. I took pliers and crimped the end to keep the seal from sliding. Awhile back my dog decided to chew up the side of it and I needed to replace it. I used silicone spray on it to help it slide. Thanks for the videos
