Can A Broken Cable Cause Damage to Your Garage Door Opener Motor?

Yes, a broken or malfunctioning cable forces the garage door opener to lift the full, unbalanced weight of the door which it is not designed to do. This excessive strain can burn out the motor's gear kit or snap the drive belt/chain turning a simple cable repair into a much more costly opener replacement. Replacing worn cables early is essential to protecting the internal electronics and mechanical components of your automated system.

Why Is Your Garage Door Hanging Lower on One Side?

An uneven or slanted garage door is almost always a sign of a cable issue specifically that one cable has stretched, frayed or slipped off its drum. Because the cables work in tandem to lift the door evenly, any discrepancy in length or tension causes the door to tilt. Operating a crooked door can bend the tracks and damage the rollers so it should be inspected by a local Baytown professional immediately.
