When the opener runs but the door won't move in Plymouth, the trolley, gear, or a disconnected door is usually the cause. Most are same-day repairs.

A opener runs but the door won't move rarely happens in a vacuum. Plymouth's sub-zero cold wears doors down — freeze-thaw warps tracks — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your opener runs but the door won't move

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A disengaged trolley
If the emergency-release was pulled, the opener runs but isn't connected to the door.
A stripped opener gear
A worn drive gear spins without moving the carriage.
A broken spring making the door too heavy
The opener runs but can't lift a door with no spring help.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Plymouth pro

We re-engage or replace the trolley and gear, check the springs, and confirm the door tracks with the opener again.
