My GFCI outlet was flashing causing my Internet router broadband light flashing (no Wifi internet), and my garage door system dead..until I saw this video! Thank you so much for the simple fix of pressing the GFCI panel RESET button! Thanks again🙏 and God bless America in this crucial election in 4 weeks..🇺🇸
Should always start with the simple possible causes first. Video didn't even mention checking remote batteries. And what about the electronic eye near the floor on either side of door opening? It is very common to have something blocking one of these sensors, it being bumped out of alignment or covered with dirt and spiderwebs. I'd check and eliminate the easy causes before moving on to the harder ones, especially before climbing a ladder.
Same.. I'm thinking it's wiring but no website really gets into it. My wall button works and I can see the unit is receiving the signal, it's just not opening.@@nostalgic_pokemon_memories
Hi so my garage door doesn't open. If I press the remote it sounds like opening but nothing. The light comes on but doesnt open.. please help. It's been two weeks and I am manually opening the garage door.. thank you..
Hi Belinda, Make sure the latch on the arm holding the door to the chain or belt on the track is engaged. With the opener in the up position (bracket close to the motor) manually open the door and lift until you hear it click and then try and operate the door. Also check to see that the safety eyes bully the door opening are looking at each other and the status lights are green. Hope this helps!
I have been a mantanance tech for years. If its attached to the track at the pull release and is still not opening. 9 times out of ten the the worm gear has striped. They msake them out of a polymer of some kind.
I have a flashing orange button. Push it, turns solid orange. Try to open the door and it goes back to flashing and door won’t open. Doesn’t say it’s a lock button.
Hello. Appreciate your explanation for the garage truble. The issue i have for my grage door its open then stuck in between some times during opning or closing. Note: the led light for the senser is turned off during the issue
Hi, my garage door opener unit doesn't work. The light on ceiling unit doesn't turn on. The lock isn't turned on the keypad. I clicked on buttons on the ceiling opener unit and it still doesn’t work. The ekectric power switch box shows it is getting power. I cleaned the sensors, which dont show a green light. Can anyone help me with suggestions?
Hi There, Try unplugging the unit and running an extension cord from an outlet you know works and see if it powers up. If so that outlet that it’s connected to might be running off of a GFCI outlet somewhere that is tripped if in fact the breaker is still on. Hope this helps!
Hi There, This issue can vary based on garage door opener. Commonly, it sounds like either something is in the way of the sensors or the sensors are not lined up correctly. You may want to adjust the sensors to be line with each other. The owners manual may provide further diagnostics as well!
Related to this video, if someone sent you a video of a non functioning garage door opener and the symptoms, would you be able to randomly stab at what you think it could be?
Hi Jeni, Would love to help, but need a little more information. The light on the actual button or the light on the opener hanging from above? And what’ not opening specifically? Is it the garage door button once you press it?
It looked easy 175.00 I was charged he tired telling me the springs don’t match size it would be 1200.00 Sadly I had a broken spring a few years ago now just am so frustrated

Worked great. It was the screw to bring up the pressure when opening. Thanks !
THANK YOU!! It’s NOT useless to a new unexpected widow who has no family to depend on!!! So I appreciated it!!!!!
We are so sorry for your loss and we are happy we can be there to help.
Helpful video. Thanks for posting.
Great video. Had mine fixed in 10 mins without a professional.
What did you do?
I needed to push test/reset on the GFCI outlet in the garage 🤦🏾♀️.
On opening it would only rise about 20 cm and stop. Turned the lift screw up half a kilo and it works beautifully. Thank you.
I just needed someone that believed in me 😂❤
We believe in you!
You just saved me at lest a hundred bucks! Thanks!
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Thank you, thank you! We wondered what that button was for - lol
Dang this worked
The lock button 🤯
So helpful! Thank you
Thank you

Hello one of my sensors is red and the other is green, how do I fix this issue?
Another easy one to check before the other complicated ones that he didn’t mention would be the GFCI plug…it’s also common
GREAT INFORMATION
Should add “Check the GFCI outlet” as this is also common
Thanks brah. More power knob fixed it!
thanks king
Thank you sir

Hi There,
Check the sensors by the door near the floor perhaps those eyes are not set correctly. Hope this helps!
What about the sensors not aligned?

How would they get in if it's binded
Hi There,
From the outside you will not be able to get in unless the emergency release has been released. Hope this helps!

Had a ground GFCI tripped in a hidden spot.
Garage door opener is clicking the light on the opener but not opening it

Hi Gunner,
We suggest taking the video to your local Ace to try and diagnose the issue.
Will do, thank you
No mention of GFCI Circuit OR the Sensors not aligned/working????
So now that it’s not any of those reasons???
The light on the garage door opener looks very faded when I press it or the garage door opener not opening the garage
Hi Jeni,
Would love to help, but need a little more information. The light on the actual button or the light on the opener hanging from above? And what’ not opening specifically? Is it the garage door button once you press it?
If you recently had your home painted make sure the door isn’t painted shut. Happened to me.
Great tip!
Life saver.
You are a life saver. Ran my hand down the weather stripping to break up the paint layer and it opened right up
Okay so how do I fix it if I’m outside & can’t open it to go in?? I hate these electric doors 🤦🏻♂️
Hi There,
If you do not have a keypad then you have to break in the garage because any repair would happen inside. Sorry!
Mine was a torsion spring! -$500 later it's not fixed.
The last step was hard to understand
It looked easy 175.00 I was charged he tired telling me the springs don’t match size it would be 1200.00
Sadly I had a broken spring a few years ago now just am so frustrated
Sorry to hear this Jeni!
Nothing worked. It's bowed at top. I almost broke my arm on that release rope.
I'm over trying to fix my LiftMaster, I removed the fuckin thing and open it manually and close it manually.
" DA' Bears "
That was useless
So usless 😅
What if your stuck in huh?😊
DONT BE RUDE
Useless
Have no idea what he talked about, useless video.
Utterly useless.
Nonsense
