Cable hanging loose
A cable can leave the drum or pulley after a spring problem, impact, obstruction, or hardware failure. Do not wrap it back onto the drum or cut a loose strand.
A loose or broken lift cable can leave the door crooked, jammed, or supported unevenly. Stop using the opener and keep away from the cable and bottom fixtures.

One low side can involve a cable, drum, spring, roller, track, or damaged section. Keep the opening clear because the door may shift without warning.
Broken wires, rust, kinks, and rubbing marks need inspection. Cable construction and length have to match the door and lift system.
Lift cables work with springs, drums or pulleys, and bottom fixtures. Tension can remain even when the door is not moving. Do not loosen bottom brackets, drums, set screws, pulleys, or springs.
Replacing a cable without finding why it slipped or failed can leave the same problem in place. The door position and spring condition are checked before any cable work begins.
The door position, cable system, number of affected parts, spring condition, track damage, access, and parts availability affect the work. The written estimate identifies the recommended repair before it starts.
