Common Garage Door Problems
Frozen Doors
Frozen garage doors are a problem in the winter and rainy season.
The cold causes the water to freeze.
If you have an uninsulated garage or the weather sealant is broken, the door will completely freeze.
If there’s moisture that freezes around wirings and motors, then an experienced technician should be called.
You cannot pour hot water or simply heat the garage when the motors and wirings have ice on it.
The weather sealant strip will need to be replaced, another thing that needs to be left at the hands of a technician.
The only thing that you can do is pour hot water on ice outside the garage.
Do not strike the ice as it will damage the door.
Reversing Garage Door
The adjustment screw may be loose if your door stops midway its closing and reverses back.
The screw is what controls the closing force.
The closing force is the pressure that allows the door to descend as the motor dies down.
While you can easily tighten it, there can be issues if you are inexperienced with it.
Ground Fault Interrupter
The GCFI is a safety measure; it keeps homeowners from being electrocuted when any garage door tech device overheats or malfunctions.
Overheating triggers the GCFI.
The GCFI is hypersensitive, easily triggered that false positives may set it off.
You can technically reprogram it by turning it on and off.
That resets the settings.
However, to get to the bottom of the problem, there needs to be a technician to diagnose the reason why the GCFI is becoming faulty.
Aside from that, they will check what is triggering it, as there are several devices that can be causing it.
These devices can be; logic boards, antennas, wirings, motors.
Vibrating Doors
When the garage door starts to vibrate, there are several reasons why it does.
It could be that the roller bearings are dry.
The roller bearings simply roll on the tracks.
The friction between the roller bearings and tracks causes the door to vibrate.
When that happens, the easy fix is to lubricate the parts.
Simply apply silicone-based or lithium-based grease on the parts quarterly to ensure that it runs smoothly.
Vibrating doors can also be due to a moving opener.
The opener is placed at the bottom of the garage door.
It can get hit from time to time, and that loosens the screws that keep it together.
That dismantles the opener from its place.
A local technician will have to install an anti-vibration panda to keep the door opener safe.
Broken Extension Spring
The extension spring is a type of spring that allows you to open the garage door manually.
The extension spring is a spring that has no shaft inside of it.
Instead, it is a simple spring that stretches and contracts as the door opens and closes.
When you feel resistance as you open the door, that can be a sign that the extension spring snapped.
There is no way to fix a broken extension spring.
Both extension springs need to be replaced even if one is not broken.
That is to equalize the tension the springs carry.
