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

There's a local angle to a opener runs but the door won't move in Rochester Hills: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and summer storms surge openers. Our Rochester Hills techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

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

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