Possible Causes

Dry or worn rollers and hinges, Loose rail or mounting brackets, Worn Nice motor bearings or gear reducer, Chain too loose or hitting cover

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before tightening hardware. Do not place hands near moving parts when testing.

  • Lubricate moving parts: Apply garage door lubricant to rollers, hinges, and pivot points. Do not grease the tracks themselves.
  • Tighten hardware: Check all track brackets, opener mounting brackets, and rail joints. Tighten loose bolts and screws.
  • Adjust chain tension: If the chain slaps the rail or cover, tighten it per Nice specifications.
  • Listen to motor head: If grinding comes from inside the Nice operator, the internal gear or bearings may be worn. In that case, replacing the motor head or gear kit is recommended.
