CAME Mechanical Drag or Motor Performance Degradation

CAME garage door opener runs but door speed is unusually slow or varies during travel

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Dry or dirty tracks and rollers, Partially failing motor capacitor, Low mains voltage, Internal gearbox wear

Safety first: Disconnect power before lubricating or adjusting hardware.

Steps:

Clean and lubricate: Clean tracks and lightly lubricate rollers and hinges. Do not grease the tracks themselves.
Check door balance: Ensure the door is properly counterbalanced and not excessively heavy.
Inspect capacitor: Replace an aging capacitor if the motor seems weak, especially on start.
Monitor voltage: Have an electrician check supply voltage under load.

If speed remains inconsistent, the motor or gearbox may be worn and should be replaced.
