Signs That Your Garage Door Opener Needs Repair
Parts of Garage Openers We Repair
There are several signs you can look out for that indicate that your garage opener needs immediate repair. Below are some of the most common indicators:
Noise
Loud and unusual noises during the opening or closing of your garage door signify a critical disruption in the working of the door opener. Call for repair as soon as you encounter any unrelated sounds.
Flashing lights
If your garage door opener’s warning light is flashing, it means there is an undetected malfunction that our technicians will promptly repair.
Wall button failure
Although this problem is not severe, you can get the switch and its associated wiring rectified at your convenience for a smoother functioning door opener.
Humming noise with no movement
A humming sound and failure to open with either the wall switch or the remote is a clear indicator that your garage door has a failed capacitor, a jammed trolley or maybe a chain that has jumped off a sprocket. Our team can set it right for you.
Remote failure
If your remote doesn’t work even after a battery change, consider replacing it instead of repairing it. Contact our team for a reliable service experience in Winnipeg.
Non-functioning door after a lightning strike
While this is common, it still calls for replacing some or all of the electrical components in your garage door opener. The severity of the strike will decide whether the door opener motor needs replacement.

How To Maintain Your Garage Door Opener?
There are several ways you can keep in mind to maintain your garage door opener to extend its use and lifespan:
-
Visual inspection: It helps maintain your garage door opener by identifying any issues and problems during inspection. This reduces minor difficulties and turns them into major breakdowns. Inspection brings to your attention wear and tear, damages, and leaks that require immediate attention.
-
Lubricate: Lubricating garage door openers' improper or imbalanced components enhance their functioning. This should be done using the instructions in the manual. Lubricants designed explicitly for door openers are recommended.
-
Check hardware: To ensure the smooth operation of the garage door, it is essential to ensure that all hinges, screws, and nuts are tightened enough which doesn’t fall off or affect the functioning.
-
Clean sensors and tracks: Clearing the tracks is essential to remove debris and buildup affecting the door opener’s operation. You should also wipe the sensors, which can help track any obstructions.
-
Replace batteries: Proper care and monitoring of batteries help maintain the functionality of the equipment. Whenever you experience unusual symptoms or the battery doesn’t work effectively, it is advised to replace or repair the battery.
Garage Opener Repairs for Winnipeg's Climate
Winnipeg’s climate can influence the performance of garage door openers, especially during seasonal extremes. Our technicians address climate-related repair concerns such as:
-
Cold temperatures cause lubrication to thicken.
-
Freezing cables or stiff tracks during the winter months.
-
Sensor fogging or ice buildup is causing false reversals.
-
Expansion or contraction of mechanical parts due to temperature shifts.
We use climate-appropriate materials and recommend seasonal checks to maintain optimal system function and support long-term garage opener repair in Winnipeg.
Practical Troubleshooting Tips
Before scheduling a service call, there are a few steps you can take to assess the issue.
Try the following troubleshooting measures:
-
Check the power source: Ensure the opener is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
-
Inspect the remote batteries: Replace weak or dead batteries in handheld remotes or keypads.
-
Clear the sensor area: Remove any obstructions near the photo-eye sensors and clean the lenses.
-
Verify that the manual lock is disengaged: Some garage doors have a manual lock that may have been engaged accidentally.
-
Reset the system: Unplug the opener for 30 seconds and reconnect it to reset its logic board.
