If your garage door motor attempts to lift the garage door and gives up midway it could be for a number reasons. Garage door openers are programmed to stop if the door feels heavier than normal or if there’s any resistance coming from the door. This feature is built into the opener to prevent damaging the door or motor. So if your door goes up a little bit and stops, do you need to look at the door and see if there’s anything in the way. Perhaps a loose screw or not is obstructing one of the garage door rollers. I would examine the tracks top to bottom, and make sure there’s nothing in the way. Then I would look at the cables and visually verify that they are not tangled. One of the more common reasons for your garage door to not go up is a broken spring. Right above the garage door are your Torsion Springs. These springs provide need tension to lift the garage door as the motor moves it up and down.
