| Issue | What maintenance checks |
|---|---|
| Loud operation | Roller bearings, hinge play, opener mounting, chain or belt condition, track alignment, door section rub |
| Reverses or stops | Photo eye alignment, sensor cleanliness, track binding, roller drag, travel limits, door balance |
| Feels heavy by hand | Spring balance, cable condition, drum and bearing wear, opener strain indicators |
