My garage door opener is smoking and won open. Whats wrong with it?
You most likely have a burned drive belt, although there is the possibility of having a burned circuit board or capacitor. All are easily replaced. I hear a hum coming from the garage door opener and it won’t open. What is the problem?!? A humming operator is usually the outcome of a burned out capacitor. What’s the average lifespan of a garage door opener? Average lifespans of 8 – 10 years can be expected, although there are operators out there which last as little as 5 years yet as long as 25 years (or more!). If your operator is getting old, consider replacing it with an up-to-date machine with all the latest safety features. I need certain parts for my garage/gate operator, can I purchase them from you? Absolutely, and you will save a lot in the process! You will need to contact us for that, for special ordering and prices. Are batteries and clips included? Yes, batteries and clips are included, in some cases, key chains and velcro attachments. Can I pay by check or a postal order?
