How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not repeatedly force the door. A heavy or unbalanced door can cause serious injury.

Inspect the path: Check tracks, floor area, and ceiling for any objects or debris blocking the door movement.
Check door balance: With the opener disengaged, lift the door manually halfway and release. It should stay in place. If it falls or rises, the springs are out of balance and must be adjusted by a professional.
Lubricate moving parts: Apply a suitable garage door lubricant to rollers, hinges, and pivot points (avoid the belt/chain itself unless specified). Do not use heavy grease on tracks.
Adjust force settings: On the BFT control board, locate the force or sensitivity adjustments (often digital parameters). Increase the force slightly within the safe range recommended by BFT, then test operation.
Re-test travel: After adjustments, run a full open/close cycle and observe for smooth motion without stalling.

If the door remains hard to move manually, have a qualified door technician correct the mechanical issues before relying on the opener.

BFT garage door opener stops mid-travel and displays E06, often accompanied by a beeping alarm.
