A lift in Bangalore that stops, whether between floors or at the lobby, is stressful for everyone. Residents queue at the stairs, elders cannot climb and the committee phone rings. Understanding why lifts stop, and what to do, turns panic into a plan. This guide explains the common causes in simple terms and the correct actions for passengers, residents and managers.

| Overload | The lift will not start |
| Controller or drive fault | The lift stops and shows a fault |
