Common DC Blue/ ET NICE garage door motor problems:

We’re regularly asked to repair or replace garage doors, and very often the problem stems from something that could be avoided through regular maintenance.

garage-door-wont-close

DC Blue/ ET NICE garage door motor won't close:

The garage door will be the largest moving object with the highest traffic area within your home. With family members (and pets!) using it frequently as a main entrance, it can be easy to accidentally cause the safety sensors to move. If you notice that your garage door does not close, the first thing you should check is that the safety sensors are adjusted correctly. For more information on how to fix a garage door that won’t close, contact DC Blue Motors.

DC Blue/ ET Garage door motor rail/ shaft lubrication has been neglected:

Although not all garage door motors need to be lubricated, the ones that do should be maintained every 1-2 years. Other components such as the screw drive operator rails will need to be lubricated on a regular basis. Important – chain and belt drives will never need lubrication, so please keep this in mind even if some garage door repair companies tell you different.

DC BLUE/ ET Garage door operator/motor has not been adjusted:

Like anything, your garage door motor can lose strength and power. In order to resolve this issue, you can adjust the limit switches on your machine, which are usually located on the side of the motor.

The DC Blue/ ET garage door does not close all the way:

In the case of automatic garage doors, this may be due to issues with your limit switch. If a garage door is hitting the ground, but then reversing back up, check there are no obstructions in the way of the door’s path or obscuring the photo eye sensor. Manual causes can also include broken cables, bent tracks or worn parts – get a professional from DC Blue Motors to diagnose your issue.

REMOTE STOPS WORKING

The first thing to do when your garage door won’t close or open is to check the remote. Electronic transmitters in your remote need to have power and proximity to work. If these remotes do not open your door, you may have an issue with the batteries or not be close enough for the garage door sensor to pick up the transmission. Replace the batteries, and always have your garage in sight when using the remote from your car.

SOMETIMES THE DC BLUE/ ET DOOR OPENS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T:

The battery in your remote is dying. Simply change the battery in your remote. Take some time to change the batteries in your different remotes and if you have an outside keypad, change those as well.
Another plausibility—although unlikely—is that if your garage door motor is a older model, one of your neighbors may have a similar kind of motor(utilizing a similar wave recurrence) with a similar transmission code. And then change one of the code buttons on your remote, and that ought to fix everything.

STRIPPED DC Blue/ ET GEAR IN THE GARAGE MOTOR:

As a garage door assembly ages, the stress of daily activity can have a cumulative effect on the motor. Once the gear becomes stripped, the motor will no longer function. A common giveaway is when the garage motor makes a humming or grinding noise when prompted but won’t open.

In some cases, the gears can be replaced. Often, however, the only way around a stripped gear is a new DC Blue/ ET garage motor. In the meantime, use of the door must be limited to manual activation. In any case, the replacement of your motor should only be performed by a garage door service professional.

Common ET NICE SLIDING gate motor problems:

Automatic ET NICE gate motors provide an additional layer of security, which is why many homeowners and commercial operators rely on them to control who has access to their property.

However, they can sometimes undergo various problems. Here are common issues automatic ET NICE gate motors might have and how you can evaluate them.

et-gate-motor-noise

Unusual noise:

If your ET NICE gate motor makes unusual noises while it’s in use, a buildup of dirt, moisture, and debris in the gate motor may be at fault.

Over time, these contaminants could penetrate the operator housing and interfere with the device’s moving parts, thereby making the motor noisier. Unfortunately, this is the sort of problem that can go from bad to worse pretty quickly, and it can lead to broken motor components or even a complete breakdown.

ET NICE Gate motor not working:

If your ET gate motor simply isn’t working, it could be due to an electrical outage. Check that the gate motor is still receiving power. If it is, your remote control may simply need new batteries. If that’s not the issue, manually check the door to see if it slides or swings freely or if there’s something preventing it from moving. If all this fails, your next step is to call someone to help diagnose the problem.

ET NICE Obstructed sensors/ beams:

Another reason why your gate isn’t working properly may be that pests have taken up residence in the nooks and crannies of the opening mechanism. This can result in the sensors becoming blocked, thus preventing the gate from operating properly. This can also be cause by moss or mold growing on the sensors. A simple visual inspection and, if necessary, a quick wipe with a cloth, should solve the problem.

ET NICE Gate motor Stuck in manual mode:

Switching to manual mode is sometimes necessary, such as when a power outage prevents the motor form operating. However, if your gate is stuck on manual, it may be time to call a technician. Some models will default to manual mode when it’s time for their yearly inspection as a way to prevent additional strain to the motor.

ET NICE Gate motor is jerky or gets stuck:

A gate that doesn’t open smoothly is usually caused by worn out components of your gate motor. This could be an issue with the rollers, hinges or rails of your gate. This is obviously a problem that should be handled by a professional as it could require replacement parts. However, you should check to make sure that the problem can’t be cleared by getting rid of dirt and debris.

Common ET NICE SWING gate motor problems:

ET NICE swing gate motors is a great innovation that allows easy access to your driveway and your home. The automatic gate motor offers a high level of security and privacy not normally offered by other systems.

High tech devices are used for running the automatic swing gates such as remote devices, geared motors, switching and locking mechanism and many more. In the course of operation, certain operational faults may occur and interfere with the automatic ET swing gate motor operation. These include:

ET NICE Swing Gate motor Will Not Open

This may happen once in a while and you experience the swing gate motor is not opening. There are various reasons for this and the first place to check should be the power source. One should check whether the power is out, the electric mains in your home and also check for any faults in the circuit breakers.

You may also need to ensure all switches connected to the electric swing gate opener are working and have been switched on. If after checking all these and still no operation, then the remote control could have a problem.

Faulty ET NICE swing gate motor remote

The easiest way to determine fault with remote control is when you operate the door manually and it works. You need to enter the codes in the access panel as done on the remote. If the remote control is malfunctioning, check batteries and you may also have a specialist to check the transmitter of the device.

Door Hits the Ground

This happens when the gate opens, it hits or scratches on the ground. This may occur in an upward sloping driveway or an uneven path for the door. It is important to do a driveway adjustment for the swing gate motor to solve this kind of problem. The ET swing gate motor can be raised on a higher pole also to allow for more clearance on the bottom edge. If possible, you can also have the door to swing in the opposite direction.

Sensor Operation Problems

This refers to the door safety sensors/ safety beams not functioning normally when the swing gate motor is opening or closing. The dual swing gate opener has safety sensors that prompts the gate to immediately reverse when a vehicle is on top of the sensor, so as not to harm or damage the vehicle or person.

This is the same case for then sliding gate opener. It is always important to check and ensure the sensors are working as required.
