Garage Door Goes Down But Not Up

If your garage door goes down but not up, it can be a frustrating and inconvenient problem. There are several possible causes for this issue, and the solution will depend on the specific cause.

One possible cause is a problem with the garage door opener. The opener is the motor that powers the door, and if it is not working properly, the door will not be able to open.

Another possible cause is a problem with the door's sensors. These sensors are located on either side of the door and they detect when something is in the way of the door. If the sensors are not working properly, the door will not open because it thinks something is in the way.

A third possible cause is a problem with the door's springs. The springs help to lift the door, and if they are broken or damaged, the door will not be able to open.

If you are experiencing this problem, the first step is to troubleshoot the problem to determine the cause. Once you know the cause, you can then take steps to fix it.

If the problem is with the garage door opener, you may need to replace the opener or have it repaired. If the problem is with the door's sensors, you may need to clean the sensors or replace them.

If the problem is with the door's springs, you will need to have them replaced. This is a job that is best left to a professional.

Once you have fixed the problem, your garage door should be working properly again.
