What should I do if my garage door won't open?

If your garage door won't open, first check if the opener has power and the remote batteries are fresh. Look for any obstructions in the door track and ensure the safety sensors are aligned (they should have steady green lights). Try the wall button to rule out remote issues. If the door still won't open, the problem may be broken springs, a malfunctioning opener, or off-track panels.
