Shut off the power to the garage door opener. When the door is lowered the spring winds up tightly creating a pulling force that helps lift the door up.

Usually located towards the front of your garage the manual release is that brightly colored cord hanging down within easy reach.

A faulty circuit board will cause the garage door opener to make clicking sounds. Many garage doors have a powerful torsion spring located horizontally above the door. You can hear a click like relay is picking up and light comes on so elec connection is fine. This will determine if the issue is connected to the door itself or the opener.

Also the opener may work sometimes but on other occasions it does not respond. The opener motor is fine but the shaft doesn t turn. In this video i ll show you the issue with a garage door opener that makes noise but won t move. Can t forcibly move drive chain either.

The next step is to attempt to open your garage door manually. No movement of drive chain and sprocket. Use a screwdriver to tighten the wire. A power outage or surge particularly one that results from a storm may either cause a temporary malfunction or permanently damage the circuit board.

If you click your remote and hear the garage door opener s motor running but the door won t open the first thing you should do is check to see that the manual release isn t engaged. Turn the power back on and the door should open and close normally. Without any warning the garage door will not open.
