Possible Causes
Up limit set too low, Door arm hitting structural obstruction, Bent top section or header bracket, Weak motor or binding springs
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the door path while adjusting travel.
- Inspect header area: Check that the door arm and top section are not hitting the opener rail, header bracket, or ceiling.
- Adjust up limit: Increase the up travel limit on the Mighty Mule opener until the door reaches the fully open position without hitting stops.
- Check door balance: Manually lift the door. If it is heavy near the top, springs may be weak and should be serviced by a professional.
- Re-test: Run several open/close cycles to confirm consistent full opening.
