Lift Repairs: Fast Diagnosis Checklist

A practical triage for common lift faults — and the info that helps engineers fix faster.

Safety first

Never bypass safety circuits. If passengers are trapped, call emergency support.

Quick triage

• Is power present? Check supply, fuses/spur, isolator.
• Any error codes on controller or car display?
• Doors fully closed/locked? Obstructions cleared?
• Recent works, storms, water ingress or repeated trips?

Common faults

• Door lock/edge faults stopping travel.
• Brake not lifting / inverter faults.
• Hydraulic low oil / overheated motor.
• Battery/UPS or autodialler failures.

Information that speeds repair

Lift make/model, error codes, when the fault occurs, and any patterns after maintenance or weather events.
