Hi, I’m Jamie. Last week, I got a call from William about a problem at his home on 32 Santorini Promenade, 6038 ALKIMOS. He was having trouble with his garage door opener. It kept stopping halfway whenever he tried to open or close it. William wanted the problem fixed quickly because he uses his garage every day and didn’t want to risk the door getting stuck completely.
Finding The Problem
When I arrived at William’s home in Alkimos, I tested the garage door opener myself. Just like he said, it went up halfway and then stopped. When I tried closing it, it also stopped halfway down. I checked the door tracks and springs first to make sure there wasn’t a blockage or broken spring causing the issue. Everything looked fine with the door itself. This told me the problem was inside the opener system.
How I Fixed The Problem
After checking the opener unit, I found that the logic board was failing. The logic board controls how the opener works. When it starts to fail, it can send the wrong signals to the motor, causing it to stop halfway. William’s opener was an older model, but the motor was still in good condition. Only the board needed replacing.
I explained the problem to William and gave him the options. He agreed that replacing just the logic board was the best solution. I had the right replacement logic board in my service van, so I got to work straight away.
First, I disconnected the power to keep everything safe. Then I carefully removed the old logic board from the opener unit. I installed the new board, checked all the wiring connections, and secured it properly inside the unit. After that, I reconnected the power and programmed the new logic board to match William’s existing remotes.
Finally, I tested the garage door opener several times. It opened all the way up smoothly and closed without stopping. I checked the safety sensors to make sure they were working correctly, stopping the door if anything crossed their path.

Final Results and Customer Satisfaction
The job was done in less than an hour. William was happy to see his garage door opening and closing properly again without stopping halfway. He said it gave him peace of mind knowing his car wouldn’t get stuck in the garage anymore.
After the job, William gave this review:
“Our opener was glitching and kept stopping halfway. The technician diagnosed the problem within minutes, replaced the logic board, and it’s been running perfectly since. On time, clean work, and very fair on pricing. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
My Advice For Garage Door Opener Maintenance
I gave William some simple tips to keep his garage door opener working well. Check and clean the safety sensors each month to make sure they aren’t blocked by dirt or spider webs. Also, listen for any new noises when the opener runs. If the door starts jerking or the opener sounds strained, call for repairs early before the problem gets worse. Finally, get a professional garage door repair service once a year to check all parts, settings, and safety systems.
