The Wall Station can cause garage door opener problems
Pushing the button and nothing happens at all - no light, no sound - typically means that there is a short in either the button or the wiring between the wall station (the control panel on the wall) and the garage door opener. No signal is getting through.
When the light does come on, but you don’t hear any noises from the garage door opener, it suggests that power isn’t reaching the motor. This could be the result of a broken wire or a blown computer board.
You can also have a problem where you push the wall station button and your garage door opener lights up and makes noise but the door doesn't move. This could mean several things. A gear may have worn enough that its teeth are bad. The same may happen to the carriage assembly. These prevent the garage door opener from moving the garage door even though the motor is turning. You could also have a bad capacitor.
In all of these situations, the best bet is to call a garage door professional to resolve your problem. There are some garage door and garage door opener repairs you may want to try yourself, if you are handy. But can you risk severe electrical injury as well as severe injury from the excessive force created by the springs that help to raise and lower the garage door?
The Remote is another possible garage door opener culprit
If you have a problem with the door not raising when you push the button on your remote, it basically involves two potential problems. The first thing to do is to check the battery in the remote. This is a quick and easy fix. If it's bad, replace it.
If the battery in the remote is good or new, then, chances are, you need a new remote control for your garage door opener. Universal remotes typically work well with most brands and models of garage door openers and replacement is probably your best move.
Homeowners in Northern Illinois can find help with garage door openers that don’t work by calling a trusted garage door professional.
