Why Isn’t My Craftsman Garage Door Opener Working?
Weather conditions, wear and tear and unintended mishaps may lead to problems with your Craftsman door opener. At Precision Garage Door Service, our technicians are very familiar with the most common Craftsman door opener problems and how to identify them:
Motor Malfunctions
You are likely experiencing a motor problem if your Craftsman garage door opener starts running intermittently, hums, produces a grinding sound or stops responding altogether.
No matter the cause, finding the correct component and replacing it can be expedited with the assistance of a qualified professional.
Damaged or Misaligned Tracks
If you notice that your door movement is slowed, starts bumping or refuses to close, your garage door opener tracks are probably bent or misaligned. Fortunately, these types of repairs are easy to identify and fix.
Precision Garage Door Service can extend the lifespan of your Craftsman garage door opener by promptly addressing these issues and expertly adjusting your tracks.
Remotes or Wall Buttons Not Working
If you’ve replaced your controller batteries and are still struggling with intermittent or unresponsive remotes or wall buttons, the issue may require a qualified Craftsman garage door repair tech. The solution might be as simple as reprogramming your remotes to work with your opener or removing any signal interference, or it may necessitate a replacement.
Unresponsive Sensors
Sensors are essential to your garage door opener — they’re responsible for detecting obstacles and reversing the garage door to avoid damage or injury to anything in its path. These safety sensors can malfunction, causing your Craftsman garage door to become unresponsive or fail to close.
If your door won’t close or reverses its path when there are no obstacles, a technician can adjust your Craftsman garage door opener sensors to resume normal operation.
Damaged Cables
Garage door cables should be checked and maintained regularly, as they must safely support the entire weight of the garage door.
Faulty cables may lead to further damage or pose a safety risk to you and your loved ones. If you notice fraying, rusted or loose cables, contact a certified garage door repair professional immediately.
