Garage door runs but does not open.

There are a number of possible causes. Harvey on august 19 2018. In the middle of going up as tonight the door halted leaving a gap between the door and the ground. There are a number of reasons why the motor will run but the chain doesn t move.

Getting out of the car at the end of a long day to open the garage door can be frustrating especially when the automatic garage door opener sounds like it s working but isn t. My wife pushed the door opener a few more times but the door wouldn t move despite the motor responding. A garage door stuck in the closed position may tempt you to crash on through but don t let frustration get the better of you. Home owners say that they can hear the motor running but the opener simply will not operate the door.

Take a few minutes. One garage door malfunction that is very frustrating is when it will not open. I aligned the laser but the wall switch kept blinking. Car wall and control on the wall garage door will not open.

When i returned from work today i pushed the button on my remote garage door opener but the door didn t budge. I do not hear the motor running but the light does turn on. So i got up in the box and reprogrammed the remotes. Even after putting new batteries in the remote the garage door still is not.

This is frustrating especially if you re trying to get your car out of the garage. I got out of the car squeezed under the door and realized the motor was still running. Sometimes homeowners will find that their automatic garage door opener runs but the door doesn t move.
