What causes motor failure in garage doors?

Garage door motor failure can result from several factors, and understanding these can help you prevent future issues: **Age and Wear:** Most garage door openers last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Over time, internal components like gears, chains, and electrical parts naturally wear out. **Electrical Issues:** Power surges, faulty wiring, or inadequate electrical supply can damage motor components. Using a surge protector is highly recommended. **Overheating:** Motors that run excessively without adequate cooling periods can overheat and fail. This often happens with older units or when the door is out of balance and requires more force to operate. **Lack of Maintenance:** Without regular lubrication and adjustments, the garage door system works harder than necessary, putting extra strain on the motor. **Misaligned or Damaged Tracks:** When tracks are bent or misaligned, the door doesn't move smoothly, forcing the motor to work overtime. **Broken Springs:** If torsion or extension springs break, the motor must lift the full weight of the door (often 150-300 lbs), which it's not designed to do. **Environmental Factors:** Extreme temperatures, humidity, and dust can affect motor performance and longevity. Regular maintenance by our certified technicians can identify and address these issues before they lead to complete motor failure, saving you time and money in the long run.
