| What you notice | The part usually behind it | What to do now |
|---|---|---|
| A sudden bang from the garage | A torsion coil or side extension spring that snapped | Keep away from the door and call about the sound. |
| A visible gap in the coil above the door | A broken torsion spring | Leave the coil untouched; arrange replacement. |
| The door lifts a few inches and stops | A spring no longer supporting the load | Stop pressing the control and call. |
| The opener strains or hums | A broken spring or binding lifting mechanism | Stop operation; unplug the opener if safely accessible. |
| The door drops quickly when released | Weak, broken or incorrectly sized springs | Keep clear; do not repeat the movement or pull the release cord. |

Never loosen a set screw, winding cone or spring bracket. Leave cable drums and bottom brackets untouched too.

A torsion spring with a broken coil needs replacement rather than a temporary patch. Your technician checks the bar above the door, its end fittings and the door's weight to select the correct spring. On a two-spring system, replacing both may be appropriate. Leave the damaged assembly alone and call without attempting to wind or reconnect it.
