Garage Door Garage Door Motor Replacement North Logan, UT
Our garage door motor replacement service covers all of North Logan: Greenville and the surrounding North Logan area. Set in Utah's semi-arid interior, these doors face fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, and we plan every repair around it.
Garage doors in Cache County live with dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust. For North Logan that means watching for fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
North Logan homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
Motor replacement is the right move when the opener's motor or gear assembly has failed but the rest of the unit (logic board, rail, sensors, remotes, wall console) is still in good shape. On a 6–9 year old LiftMaster or Genie, motor or gear replacement is typically 40–60% the cost of a full opener swap and gives you another 8–10 years of life. We carry motor and gear assemblies for the major brands and most models from the last 12 years.
Sizing matters. A motor sized for a light non-insulated 8x7 door will burn out fast on a heavy insulated 16x7. We size replacements by measured door weight: 1/2 HP for light residential, 3/4 HP for standard insulated, 1.25 HPS for heavy insulated or oversized doors. If the original opener was under-sized, we recommend an upgrade rather than matching the underspec original.
After motor replacement, we re-program travel limits, re-calibrate force settings, and verify auto-reverse on an obstruction test. The full visit takes 90–120 minutes including these checks. We include a 2-year parts and labor warranty on the motor replacement.

Capacitor failure (cheaper fix) or motor windings (full motor needed). Diagnostic determines which.
Burning smell during operation
Stop using the opener — motor is overheating, possibly due to gear strip or under-sized motor on heavy door.
Audible grinding from motor housing
Gear assembly stripping or bearing failure. Continued use destroys the gear; immediate service preserves a $149 gear swap vs. a $349 motor replacement.
Door moves slower than it used to
Worn motor windings can deliver less torque, causing slow travel. Diagnostic confirms motor vs. unrelated issues.
Smoke from motor housing
Severe motor failure or wiring fault — unplug immediately and call for emergency service.
Common causes & what we fix
Capacitor age
Start capacitors dry out over 7–10 years and stop providing torque to the motor. Often misdiagnosed as motor failure. $25–$89 capacitor swap usually fixes.
Gear assembly wear
Nylon worm gears strip after years of cycles. The gear, not the motor, is failing — gear replacement is much cheaper than motor replacement.
Motor winding burnout
Genuine motor failure from over-load on heavy doors or sustained operation against an obstructed door. Replacement is the fix.
Power surges
Grid events damage motor electronics. Surge protection prevents the most common failures.
Bearing failure
Motor bearings fail at 12–15 years on average. Replacement is possible but often makes more sense as full motor swap.

Frequently asked about garage door motor replacement
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Motor Replacement near me ask us:
North Logan sits in dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust. That is hard on a door — fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers, intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, loosened hardware from constant expansion and contraction, noisy operation from grit-packed, under-lubricated rollers, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. We size springs and seals for Utah's semi-arid interior conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
With a median North Logan home built around 2002 (just 17% pre-1980), the doors here are relatively young, so maintenance and opener upgrades outweigh major rebuilds.
