What causes motor failure in garage doors?

Motor failure in garage doors can be caused by several factors: **Age and Wear** Most garage door motors last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Over time, internal components wear out and eventually fail. **Power Surges** Storms and electrical issues can cause power surges that damage motor electronics. A surge protector can help prevent this damage. **Lack of Maintenance** When other components like springs, tracks, or rollers aren't maintained, the motor works harder to open and close the door, leading to premature failure. **Extreme Temperatures** Very hot or cold temperatures affect motor lubricants and can strain electronic components. Garages without climate control are particularly susceptible. **Stripped Gears** Forcing a stuck door to open or close can strip the motor's gears. If your door is stuck, don't keep pressing the button—call a professional. **Capacitor Failure** The capacitor provides the initial burst of power to start the motor. Capacitor failure is often repairable without replacing the entire motor. Regular maintenance can identify many of these issues before they cause complete failure.
