Breaker trips when garage door opener runs, any wiring advice?

Garage door opener in my Hamilton home trips the breaker every time it starts. The opener is about 5 years old, breaker is 15 amps. Should I increase breaker size or suspect a wiring fault? Not sure what’s safe here.

Don’t just increase breaker size without checking wiring, it might overload circuit.

Try plugging opener on a dedicated circuit or add a new breaker for garage outlets.

You could have a short or motor issue causing surge; try testing the opener.
