If the door is off track, crooked, unusually heavy, or has a visibly broken spring or cable, avoid operating it.

Troubleshooting an opener that does not work

Confirm the opener has power.
Try the wall control to separate remote-control issues from opener issues.
Check the safety sensors for obstruction or misalignment.
Inspect the door for a broken spring or other mechanical problem before repeatedly running the opener.

If the garage door itself is heavy, crooked, or mechanically damaged, the opener may not be the root cause.

If the simple checks above do not identify a safe, obvious fix, call for garage door service rather than continuing to operate a door that may be mechanically damaged.
