From faulty wires to a rundown battery, why a repair could be a better option for you.

Have you received a recall notice regarding the recall of your garage door opener? Don’t automatically assume that there is an immediate approach you should take. Garage door opener remotes are among the “2,560 total recalls in 2021 in the United States” and even though a manufacturer issues a recall when a broken part could pose a safety risk,it all comes down to ensuring the safety of consumers. Better to be safe than sorry, in a corporate sense.

As a general consumer, today’s financial crisis has put everyone into a repair mode as it is more cost efficient to do so rather than replace something that is broken, worn out or outdated. Garage doors and all of their associated components fit into this category perfectly. Most factory recalls are offered at a no-cost rate but fail to look at the possibility of another related issue that may happen down the road.

And yes, while it is important to pay attention to recalls, they are issued to:

     ●      Bring to light an unsafe or defective product.

     ●     Inform the consumer to be on the lookout for any potential risks associated with the products you use.

     ●      Help you identify any potential hazardous problem.

     ●      Become a research tool so you can make an informed decision.

A garage door remote stops working for various reasons and the most common solutions are a power loss or surge stemming from your electric circuit box. Something as simple as checking for a tripped breaker would be the fix.

The batteries on a remote could need to be replaced. As simple a solution as that seems, most people don’t consider that as a viable option or assume a remote for a garage door operates by optic connectivity alone.

A good routine maintenance for this procedure is to include this into your twice a year home smoke detector check along with daylight savings time ...as this is normally when we all think of things.

The remote requires a code update. With the wifi rolling code of most remotes, it is possible that your assigned code has been picked up by a neighboring user who inadvertently has “knocked you offline”.

Reprogramming your security code at the remove door panel is along the same line and most often, a professional garage door tech can talk you through the reprogramming procedure over the phone.

Your garage door opener receiver could be to blame and and if so, an easy fix could be just a crossed or snapped wire. If your area is prone to more Smart technology, then an adjustment to the receiver should eliminate and upscale your wifi technology.
