Shutter motor not working
No response, humming or clickingLikely causes:
- Silent: no power, tripped breaker, faulty switch or control box
- Humming: jammed curtain, failed capacitor or brake
- Clicking: relay or contactor fault
- Motor overheated from overuse (wait 20–30 minutes and try once)
Often it's the control box, not the motor, which is a much cheaper fix. We check before recommending a new motor.

These quick checks sometimes solve the problem, and they help us diagnose faster when you WhatsApp us.
Check the power
Look at the circuit breaker and the shutter's isolator switch. Reset a tripped breaker once only. If it trips again, there's an electrical fault.
Look at the guide rails
Check both side tracks for debris, dents, or a slat sticking out. Remove loose objects only. Don't hammer anything back in.
Let the motor cool
Motors have thermal protection. If it stopped after several cycles, wait 20–30 minutes, then try once.
Use the manual override
Most motorised shutters have a chain or crank to open them during a power failure. Use it gently. Stop if it's very stiff.

Roller shutter repair FAQ
Answers to the questions we get asked most.
How much does roller shutter repair cost in Singapore?
Simple repairs such as freeing a jammed shutter start from $180. Motor replacement starts from $600. The final price depends on the fault, shutter size, parts needed and site access. The site visit is free and you get a firm quote before any work starts.
Do you repair roller shutters 24 hours?
Yes. We take calls and WhatsApp messages 24/7, including nights, weekends and public holidays, for shutters that are stuck open, stuck shut or blocking access.
Why is my roller shutter stuck halfway?
Common causes are a misaligned curtain or slat caught in the guide rail, debris in the track, a worn spring, a seized bearing, an incorrect motor limit setting, or a failing motor.
My shutter motor hums but the shutter does not move. What's wrong?
A humming motor usually means a jammed curtain, a failed motor capacitor or brake, or a worn motor. Stop pressing the button to avoid burning the motor and WhatsApp us a short video.
How do I open a motorised shutter during a power failure?
Most motorised shutters have a manual override, usually a chain hoist or a crank handle near the motor. Operate it gently. If it's very stiff or you can't find it, WhatsApp us a photo of the motor area and we'll guide you.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes. The site visit and quotation are free. You only pay if you agree to the quoted repair.
Should I repair or replace my roller shutter?
Repair is usually worth it when the curtain and guides are in good condition. If the repair would cost more than about half the price of a new shutter, or the same fault keeps returning, replacement is often better value. We'll advise honestly after inspection.
How often should a roller shutter be serviced?
Every 3 to 6 months for shutters used many times a day such as shops, warehouses and loading bays, and every 6 to 12 months for light use.
Do you repair fire shutters?
Yes, we handle fire shutter faults and servicing. WhatsApp us the shutter details and building type so we can advise on the right next step.
Which areas in Singapore do you cover?
We cover all of Singapore, including industrial estates such as Tuas, Jurong, Woodlands, Sungei Kadut, Kaki Bukit, Ubi, Loyang and Changi, as well as HDB town centres, malls and landed estates.
