jessecwalters Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Im having issues with my garage door opener. I had to go out and buy a new drive gear and what not to fix it. I got the old one out, and put the new one in. But now, when i hit the button to open/close it. it will go about a foot, stop, and go back to where it was. I have the limits set to where they need to be, the sensors should be aligned, connected, and nothing obstructing them, so i can't figure out what the problem . If any one has any ideas, or help what so-ever, it would be appreciated. Let me know if you need more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hue jass Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I would disconnect the drive from the door and operate it manually to see if there's any drag on it somewhere. Seems like it's acting as if it's hitting resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 did you re-use the wires from the motor to the safety sensors, or run new wire? Maybe there's a short in them?If you pull the release handle thingy and run the door up and down by hand, does it go easily or does it bind?

jessecwalters Posted October 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I was running it without the door attached to the chain, but the door goes up and down fine. Its been opened/closed manually for a couple months. And it was the same wires as before, which all worked fine. I may have found the porblem though. The rpm sensor is missing a peice it didnt have before, but decides now to not like that. I ordered the part, will be here next week, hopefully that will fix this damn thing.
