If curtain resists opening, stop trying to operate the unit
The curtain may be frozen to the sill or guide rails.
Try to gently tap the curtain in several different places with a mallet to free up the curtain.
If there is ice build-up on the curtain
Remove any Frost or snow attached to the surface of the curtain. Try to gently tap the curtain in several different places with a mallet to break any ice apart.
The unit is opening, but has gone higher than usual
STOP operating before the bottom profile goes inside the panel box.
Frost, snow or ice could be built up on the curtain resulting in the unit travelling past where you want it to stop at the top. It will continue to roll upwards until the motor reaches its set limit. When this happens, it is not a failure of the motor, but instead, just a result of the curtain rolling up bigger and faster due to the frost, snow, or ice on the curtain. If the curtain has completely gone into the panel box, call your local dealer for service before operating the unit again.
High security keyswitch is frozen and will not operate.
Apply de-icer to keyway.
