What Are the Warning Signs of a Failing Garage Door Motor?
A failing garage door motor often shows early warning signs that homeowners should not ignore. Slow or inconsistent door movement, unusual noises like grinding or buzzing, and a motor running without moving the door all indicate internal wear.
Random stops, burning smells, or smoke suggest serious electrical or mechanical issues that require immediate attention. Delayed responses from remotes or keypads can also signal a weakening motor.
While some minor problems can be repaired, older openers or motors showing repeated issues often need replacement. Recognizing these signs early helps prevent sudden breakdowns, costly repairs, and safety risks.
