The reason your garage door goes up and down with the press of a button is all thanks to the motor. A well-working motor will hoist and lower your door without issue. But, if there’s a problem with the motor, you can expect problems with your garage door installation as a whole. Worse still, a faulty motor can be a very real safety hazard.

Signs of a Failing Motor
A failing or failed garage door motor is easy to spot if you’re paying attention. It’s best to pick up on these clues as soon as possible—the longer they go, the more dangerous the situation becomes. If your motor fails unexpectedly in the middle of operation, your door could get stuck in a compromised position or come crashing down dangerously! Here’s what you need to watch out for:
- The door stutters and staggers as it opens or closes
- The door takes a long time to open or close
- There are loud grinding or revving noises coming from the motor while in use
- There’s a burning or smoky smell coming from your motor
- You’ve had your garage door motor for more than 10-15 years
