But wait, Is it really an operator malfunction?

Before we determine if the malfunction is really with the garage operator, we need to examine the door itself first.  As we explained earlier, in the previous paragraph about garage door coil spring repair in Eastchester 10709, a garage door should work smoothly and should be opened and closed easily without the operator. If there is a malfunction when you use the door manually, the door should not be used with the operator.
If there is a malfunction with the garage door itself, such as snapped cable or a broken roller, the operator may not be able to open or to close the door. In order for the garage operator to operate the door, the mechanism of the door should be in good condition.  The operator’s part in lifting and lowering the door is a small part, when the biggest part is being done by the coil spring system. When the coil spring’s system work fine, and there is no malfunction with the door, then we can move forward to inspect the operator itself.

Laser safety sensors repairs

By law, every automated garage door must include a safety feature such as the laser safety sensors. But the laser safety sensors – especially when they weren’t installed properly can be the reason for many garage door issues, such as a garage door that can’t be closed. The laser safety sensors are there for safety reasons, and should not be removed under any circumstances. They are there for the protection of you and your family, and uninstalling them can lead to serious injuries. A laser safety sensors removal and using the garage door electrically without them is against the law, which require that every motor-drive overhead door, commercial or house till include a safety feature, which will stop the door and reverse it in case someone or something will be places at the door’s path when it is closing.

Laser safety sensors troubleshooting

If the garage operator does not get a signal form the sensors that signal to the operator that the path is clear, and that it is safe to close the garage, the operator will not close the door. If the sensors are not aligned, if the cable is nor connected, if the sensor is broken or damaged, if there is dirt on the lens, if someone moved the sensor by mistake, the operator will not close the door. In that case you can look by yourself, and try to locate the malfunction. If you are unable to repair it.
