The most common cause of motor damage is actually from unwound or broken springs. The springs of your garage door system are supposed to be doing the heavy lifting. Over time, the springs can become unwound and stop creating the right amount of tension to lift the door. When the springs aren’t doing the heavy lifting, the motor is. Motors are not supposed to be load-bearing and when this occurs, they often times become nonrepairable. We’d like to help you get your door working before it causes damage to any other parts. We look forward to working with you!
