Verify That Opener Is Still Plugged Into The Electric Outlet
Before reaching out to a professional for a malfunctioning garage door opener, the first step is to ensure that the opener is connected to a power source. It may seem straightforward, but this oversight is surprisingly common among homeowners. Garage door openers rely on electricity, and a loose plug, tripped breaker, or even a power outage can create the illusion of a broken system when it’s simply disconnected or without power.
Step-by-Step Checklist
1. Check the Power Cord
Ensure that the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet.
2. Test the Outlet
Plug in another device, like a lamp or phone charger, to verify that the outlet is operational.
3. Inspect for a Tripped Breaker
Visit your electrical panel and check if the breaker for the garage has been tripped.
4. Check for GFCI Resets
If your opener is connected to a GFCI outlet, press the reset button to restore power.
