How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Critical safety warning: Door cables and drums are under high tension. Do not loosen drum set screws or attempt cable replacement unless you are a trained garage door technician.
- Visual inspection: With the door closed, inspect both lifting cables for equal tension and correct winding on the drums. Look for fraying or broken strands.
- Do not operate: If one cable is slack or off the drum, do not use the opener. The door may jam or fall.
- Professional repair: Contact a qualified Garador or garage door specialist to reset cables on drums, replace damaged cables, and check drum set screws and shaft alignment.
