My 20-year-old Somfy awning (8m wide) is stuck fully extended. The motor makes a buzzing sound when I press up/down, but the awning won’t move at all (no manual crank option). Power cycling and pressing the yellow/white limit buttons didn’t help.

Is there any emergency way to retract it myself, or do I have to wait for a technician?

  1. I had similar last month. Different brand but same issue. Motor making all the right sounds but no movement. With no manual crank option you’re probably SOL and will need a technician to replace the whole motor or part of it.

  2. I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure there are better suited subs for this.
