Many of us love the fact that we have electronic garage door openers that we are able to open and close with the push of a button. However, when our garage door openers are no longer working properly, it can be a pretty stressful situation!
Photoelectric Eyes
If your electronic garage door opener has never worked for you, it could be a problem with your photoelectric eyes. They may have been installed too high to work as they were meant to. In addition to this, photoelectric eyes can start to wear out over time and need to be tested regularly to determine their health.
Malfunctioning Door Opener
It could be as simple as the door opener itself is not working. You could be possibly need to change the batteries in order for it to start working again. If this doesn’t solve the problem, however, the issue may be a little more serious.
Receivers Need to Be Reset
The electronic controls that we have with our garage doors and the garage door openers are susceptible to wearing down as well. It is important to remember that with all electronics, there is always the possibility that it may end up wearing out and needing to be reset.
Infrared Safety Sensors
If your garage door opener only works in certain weather, it may be a problem with the safety sensors that are aligned along the bottom of the garage door itself. This is an issue that is not extremely difficult to remedy, but it also is something that you may want to work with a professional on in order for it to be fixed correctly.
If you are ever facing any of these common types of problems with garage door openers, you may want to talk with a professional about how they may be able to help you solve the issue.
