What to notice before winter.
- New rust or fraying near the cable ends
- A bottom seal that is cracked, flattened, or freezing to the floor
- Rollers that chatter or bind when temperatures drop
- A door that will not stay halfway during a safe manual balance check
- Opener reversal, sensor flicker, or slower travel
- Loose hinges, brackets, or track fasteners
What not to do
Do not increase opener force to hide resistance.
A stronger force setting may push a struggling door a little longer, but it can also mask bad balance, a stiff roller, ice at the seal, or a track problem. Find the resistance before asking the motor to overpower it.
