Motor Repair

Common signs include unusual humming or grinding noises, doors that start but don't fully open/close, intermittent operation, doors that open slowly or stop partway, or complete failure to respond. Burning smells or visible damage indicate serious motor problems requiring immediate attention.

Most motor failures can be repaired if the issue is with capacitors, brushes, bearings, or minor winding damage. However, severely burned windings, cracked housings, or extensive gear damage often require motor replacement. We always provide repair vs. replace recommendations based on our diagnosis.

Motor repair costs vary from $150-$400 depending on the issue and parts needed, significantly less than motor replacement ($300-$800+). Simple capacitor replacement might cost $100, while complex repairs could reach $400. We'll provide exact quotes after diagnosis.

Repair fixes the existing motor by replacing faulty components, typically costing less and preserving your original unit. Replacement installs a new motor, which may be necessary for extensive damage but requires reprogramming and potential upgrades to safety features.

Simple repairs like capacitor replacement take 1-2 hours, while complex repairs requiring disassembly may take 2-4 hours. Most repairs are completed same-day, though parts availability can affect timing. We offer loaner equipment for extended repairs when needed.
