Why is my garage door opener not working?

Common reasons include dead remote batteries, misaligned safety sensors, faulty wiring, worn limit switches, power supply issues, or a failing opener motor. 405 Garage Pros recommends checking remotes, sensors and power first.

Can I reset the garage door opener myself?

Yes. Many openers can be reset by unplugging the unit for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in, or by re-programming the remote. If problems continue, a professional should inspect the motor and electronics.

How do I know if the issue is the opener, remote, or sensors?

Try using the wall button. If the wall button works but the remote doesn't, the remote is the issue. If neither works, it could be sensors, wiring, or a failing opener motor. 405 Garage Pros can diagnose the exact cause.

Why Garage Door Openers Stop Working

Garage door openers have multiple components that can fail: motors, gears, sensors, circuit boards, remotes, logic boards, and more. Here are the most common reasons an opener stops working:

Stripped Opener Gears

A very common cause — opener hums but door doesn’t move.

Broken Torsion Spring

The opener cannot lift the door without a working spring.

Sensor Misalignment

Blinking lights = sensors blocking opener operation.

Faulty Logic Board

Opener has power, but no response to commands.

Travel Limit Misadjustment

Opener stops too soon or reverses unexpectedly.

Remote or Keypad Failure

Dead batteries or desynced remote signals.

What To Do If Your Garage Door Opener Isn’t Working

Check for power. Ensure the opener is plugged in.
Try the wall button. If that works, the remote is the issue.
Check sensors. Blinking = obstruction or misalignment.
Listen for buzzing or clicking. This indicates mechanical failure.
Check the spring. If broken, the opener cannot lift the door.
Call a technician. Most opener failures require professional repair.
