Frequently Asked Questions

This is usually a safety sensor issue — misaligned or dirty sensors can falsely detect an obstruction. It can also indicate a worn gear or limit setting.
If the motor itself has failed, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. A technician can advise based on the unit’s age and the specific issue.
Most openers last 10–15 years with normal use before the motor or circuit board starts to fail.
