GARAGE DOOR OPENER REPAIR
Garage Door Opener Repair- Worn Gears
Ground down plastic opener gears is a common problem with chain and belt drive garage door openers. When a spring or cable breaks or the door is grossly out of balance, the opener suddenly has to a lift the full weight of a 200+ lb. door. To save the opener motor from burning out the gears are designed to give way first.
Diagnosing Worn Gears
your opener motor sounds like it’s running, but the door is not, checking for broken or toothless gears is the first thing you should do. Here are some simple steps you can do to examining your opener gears.
First, unplug the garage door opener. Release the door by pulling the emergency release (Red cord), and then close the garage door manually. Finally, remove the opener cover

We Can Fix Or Replace Any Of The Following Parts That May Be Affecting The Performance Of Your Opener
Torsion Spring | Extension Springs | Rollers | Cables | Hinges | Track
garage door motor gear replacement
Examine the white plastic gear. Do the teeth appear to be worn down or shredded, like those in the photo? If so, you will need to replace the gear. If your analysis reveals that the gear appears to be in good shape, you may have a more serious problem with the opener. Alternatively, you might want to think about replacing the opener rather than paying for a new motor plus labor.

Garage Door Opener Repair - Safety Eye Sensors
If your garage door opens, but will only close when the wall button is pushed down, look to see that your safety sensors are clean and in alignment with each other. Safety sensors are often knocked out of alignment accidentally by children playing around them, tools stored in the sensor eye area or a garbage can wedged up against one of them. A small green light should be on each sensor if they are in alignment and no obstacles are between each sensor. Occasionally garage door sensors do go bad, if no light is present, they may have to be replaced. Finally, early morning direct sunlight depending on what direction you door faces can disrupt the beam.

Garage Door Opener Repair - Limit Switch
Does your garage door reverse itself immediately after touching the floor? If so, the close limit switch probably needs adjusting.
s the door opens and closes, the limit adjustment settings control the points at which the door will stop. After correcting the limit settings, fully open and close your door to check your safety reversal and protector system to make sure they are functioning.
Does the garage door open or close fully?
Does the garage door stay closed and not reverse when hitting the floor?
If your garage door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails.
Pictured to the left, an adjustment diagram. Operate the opener through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.
Garage Door Opener Repair -Logic Board
If the outlet has power, but no sound or no lights when you engage the wall module and remotes, chances are you probably have a bad logic board.
Lightning strikes are the most frequent reason for the failure of a logic board. The logic board consists of the entire plastic housing that holds the light bulb and wire terminals
For a D.I.Y’s replacing a circuit board will take about 15 minutes and only requires a 1/4-in. ratchet wench. First; Remove the light cover, take out the light bulb, disconnect the switch and safety sensor wires, unplug the board and you’re finished. A logic board will cost about $110 depending on your opener (The part number should be on the board itself), so make sure you protect your new one with a surge protector.
