Garage Door Hear Click And Not Open

A faulty circuit board will cause the garage door opener to make clicking sounds.

Garage door hear click and not open.

Without any warning the garage door will not open. Many garage doors have a powerful torsion spring located horizontally above the door. Shut off the power to the garage door opener. Check the door s electric eye.

If you click your remote and hear the garage door opener s motor running but the door won t open the first thing you should do is check to see that the manual release isn t engaged. When the door is lowered the spring winds up tightly creating a pulling force that helps lift the door up. The next step is to attempt to open your garage door manually. Can t forcibly move drive chain either.

If so and it is a chamberlain sears or liftmaster then the gear assembly inside is damaged. No movement of drive chain and sprocket. A power outage or surge particularly one that results from a storm may either cause a temporary malfunction or permanently damage the circuit board. In this video i ll show you the issue with a garage door opener that makes noise but won t move.

Turn the power back on and the door should open and close normally. Detach the opener by pulling the emergency handle downward. This will determine if the issue is connected to the door itself or the opener. The opener motor is fine but the shaft doesn t turn.

If it is a genie then the plastic adapter between the motor and the screw is stripped. You can hear a click like relay is picking up and light comes on so elec connection is fine. Also the opener may work sometimes but on other occasions it does not respond.
