  1. The Most Common Causes of Garage Door Malfunctions A garage door is a heavy, complex machine that requires routine maintenance to function smoothly. However, malfunctions can still occur due to wear, environmental conditions, or operational errors. Here are some of the most common causes of garage door malfunctions and how to address them. 1. Broken Springs Garage doors operate on torsion or extension springs, which bear the weight of the door during operation. Over time, these springs wear out, and when they break, the door may stop functioning altogether. • Solution: A broken spring requires immediate replacement by a trained technician. Attempting to fix it without proper tools can be dangerous due to the tension involved. 2. Misaligned or Blocked Sensors Sensors are safety features that prevent garage doors from closing on objects or people. However, dirt or obstructions can block the sensors, causing the door to stop midway or not close at all. • Solution: Check the sensor alignment and clear any obstructions. Regular cleaning of the sensors can prevent future malfunctions. 3. Worn-Out Cables Garage door cables support the weight of the door, but they can fray or snap over time due to regular use or environmental factors. • Solution: Inspect the cables periodically for signs of wear. If they appear damaged, schedule a replacement to avoid potential injury or door damage. 4. Motor Malfunctions The motor is the heart of an automated garage door, and issues with it can lead to poor operation or a completely non-functional door. Power surges, old age, or a malfunctioning circuit board can cause motor problems. • Solution: A professional can diagnose and repair motor issues. Regular maintenance can also help extend its lifespan and avoid major breakdowns.
