I'm having an issue with a Sears garage door opener. It's probably 8 years old, and has always worked fine. Here lately, when the button is pressed, it only goes up a few inches. Press the button again, it goes down, press it again, it may go up all the way, or you may repeat this drill 2 or 3 more times. It's chain driven. I adjusted the "raise" pressure screw on the back a while back, and it seemed to fix the problem. I now have it set as high as it will go. Is it just worn out? It doesn't bother me much, but my wife parks HER car in the attached garage, etc, etc, etc.

You could use the emergency release to disconnect the door from the opener, and operate it by hand to see if it's sticking anywhere.
If it's working smoothly, then it must be in the opener. Seems like mine has separate sensitivity adjustments for up and down. One of mine has a loose connection inside and quits working unless I smack it on the side... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
