Garage Door General
Why is my garage motor working but the door is not going up?
Quick Answer
This usually means a broken spring. The motor runs but cannot lift the door without spring tension. Disconnect the opener and try lifting the door manually. If it feels extremely heavy, a broken spring is the culprit. Do not force it — call a technician.
