Garage Door Garage Door Motor Replacement Reedurban, OH
Our Reedurban garage door motor replacement calls cluster around humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Reedurban's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With warm, wet summers and cold winters with snow and ice, driving repeated freeze-thaw cycles on exterior hardware, doors here face winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, spring damp that rusts unsealed cables and brackets, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Reedurban garage doors: humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, ice- and snow-jammed tracks, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
Motor replacement is the right move when the opener's motor or gear assembly has failed but the rest of the unit (logic board, rail, sensors, remotes, wall console) is still in good shape. On a 6–9 year old LiftMaster or Genie, motor or gear replacement is typically 40–60% the cost of a full opener swap and gives you another 8–10 years of life. We carry motor and gear assemblies for the major brands and most models from the last 12 years.
Sizing matters. A motor sized for a light non-insulated 8x7 door will burn out fast on a heavy insulated 16x7. We size replacements by measured door weight: 1/2 HP for light residential, 3/4 HP for standard insulated, 1.25 HPS for heavy insulated or oversized doors. If the original opener was under-sized, we recommend an upgrade rather than matching the underspec original.
After motor replacement, we re-program travel limits, re-calibrate force settings, and verify auto-reverse on an obstruction test. The full visit takes 90–120 minutes including these checks. We include a 2-year parts and labor warranty on the motor replacement.
Signs you need garage door motor replacement
Motor hums, door doesn't move
Capacitor failure (cheaper fix) or motor windings (full motor needed). Diagnostic determines which.
Stop using the opener — motor is overheating, possibly due to gear strip or under-sized motor on heavy door.
Audible grinding from motor housing
Gear assembly stripping or bearing failure. Continued use destroys the gear; immediate service preserves a $149 gear swap vs. a $349 motor replacement.
Door moves slower than it used to
Worn motor windings can deliver less torque, causing slow travel. Diagnostic confirms motor vs. unrelated issues.
Smoke from motor housing
Severe motor failure or wiring fault — unplug immediately and call for emergency service.
Common causes & what we fix
Capacitor age
Start capacitors dry out over 7–10 years and stop providing torque to the motor. Often misdiagnosed as motor failure. $25–$89 capacitor swap usually fixes.
Gear assembly wear
Nylon worm gears strip after years of cycles. The gear, not the motor, is failing — gear replacement is much cheaper than motor replacement.
Motor winding burnout
Genuine motor failure from over-load on heavy doors or sustained operation against an obstructed door. Replacement is the fix.
Power surges
Grid events damage motor electronics. Surge protection prevents the most common failures.
Bearing failure
Motor bearings fail at 12–15 years on average. Replacement is possible but often makes more sense as full motor swap.
