Great to hear! Of course mine gets buried by YT.

That was a good video, I have an older 1/2 HP unit, finally figured out the unit causing it to go too far up and down, figured out how to adjust that before your video but it's always nice to see stuff taken apart. I greased up the chain with some motor oil and the sprocket on top and hit it with WD40. Managed to overheat the motor messing with it but the thermostat works and after cooling it down working great again. The new ones are crazy money so screw that noise.

This video is perfect just perfect you explain everything with very very good detail I appreciate your work. new subscriber!!!

Tip when installing a NEW unit lube bearings they come dry, only designed for so many cycles. Also, on old unit with bad bearings and motor internally rubbing, most units even this one, you can turn motor 180 degrees which motor will then work. Bearing will wear on lower portion from gravity, when rotating it will allow motor to work for a while.

You must have a heavy door as I have had 16 foot door that doesn't require 3/4. It is 18R insulated. Quite difference between 3/4 and 1/2 price point wise. Allot would have to do with your counter system which should be correct according to your horse power. Good info.

Excellent explaination 👍👍👍

My craftsman 315 door opener has power to all areas wall button and sensors. However it will not work. Nothing blocking sensors and no flashing error codes anywhere. What could be my problem?

Excellent video I have a 20 year old craftsman and the remotes are the only part that don’t seem to work - the wall unit wired unit is doing fine so it looks like I may have to replace the logic board if I can still find one for that old of a unit

A new logic board should correct the problem.

Im having a problem with my owner. The issue seems like there is no power to the motor no power to the sensors at the base of the door nor power to the main opener on the wall. But plug thats it plugged into on the wall has good power. Any suggestions?

I have a 1/2 unit, what causes of the garage opener light not turning off? Do I need to replace the board?

Is there a switch on the side of the wall panel?

Thank you very helpful video

Thanks, your video is very helpful. I have a 1/2hp that doesn’t open, and it doesn’t open. I noticed that it tries to close the door after the door is already closed all the way. So I unscrew the chain and put the trolley all the way to the open position, it just keep going “down” and never go up. Even after I adjust the limit and force, no change. Any idea what could be broken?

Take the chain off completely and see if the unit reaches a point when the motor stops. Either a faulty limit switch or faulty control board.

Excellent video.....My Craftsman opener seems to have a short. It will get halfway up and then the light goes off no power. I hit the opener with a yardstick and the light comes back on. Had the cover off looked inside can't see any loose wires. Checked all wires from the wall switch and sensors they are OK. Any thoughts on this. I installed the unit 10 years ago . Chain drive.

We have the same unit. Sometimes you have to hold the button on the wall until it is completely closed to make it close. When using the remotes, sometimes they will close the door but most of the time they won't. It will start to close but stop quickly and the lights on the unit blink a few times and then nothing happens.

Have you checked the 2 sensors? Usually it’s a simple alignment issue, as mine does this all the time and gets pumped. There if you look at the sensors, there should always be an orange light. If you play with the sensors, that light will turn green once they are lined up. If that doesn’t fix the issue, Clint how many times the orange light, located on the side of your garage door motor blinks when you attempt to close it. It’ll blink in between 1-4 times. You can then good whether there’s a short, an alignment issue etc. good luck

Either a faulty board, or someone is playing remote control games.

I have an intermittent problem. Light goes off on the button and when I hit the bottom of the motor it turns on then the door only goes so far and stops. Stops in different areas. I think it’s due to the vibration cause when it’s not connected to the garage door it works ok.

I have this exact same Craftsman garage door equipment. However, the light is remains on and not turning off? Usually it senses when I step into the garage and light comes on. If stuck on before, I could press the light button and it turn off then back on...and goes off in minutes. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Try disconnecting the wires to the multi function control on the wall with the light switch button. Unplug the garage door opener first. If the light no longer stays on, replace the control, if it still remains on, then the logic board is likely faulty. Thanks for watching!

If you can't open the door fairly easily, and the door falls down quickly if you try opening it by hand 2-3 feet and let got, then the springs aren't set correctly.

My garage door will open but won't close. As it starts to close it stops and the light blinks, I have checked the sensors and everything seems to be in order. The door controller light keeps blinking as well.

Misaligned sensors.

Great video, however, in my case the entire unit acts like there is no power. The light on the wall switch is out, but the only life are the lights on the door sensors. I get no response from either remote. So, as a last resort, I gave the unit a nice punch to the lower part of the unit between the white light covers. Suddenly, the light came on , the light on the door switch came on and now the door operates normal. A few minutes later all is dead again until I hit the lower flat side of the unit. Any ideas what could be loose? My next step is to remove the covers and check for a loose connection. Thanks again for a great video.

Don't buy anything with a Made In China. The first one I got out of California from Gatehouse Supplies blew and smoked two minutes after I installed it.

Thank you for your help. I am a single female and wanted to try keep from buying a whole new door system from a local dealer. $30.15 with taxes and shipping included and I saved over $500. It's hard being a female in this world. Thank you sir and all the other fine men on youtube helping us single ladies who can't find a good man out there, those who have all been taken. For us ladies, do your homework and research, research and research and don't be ripped off by these online supply houses if your parts don't work. Some of them are junk and just been sitting around for years deteriorating. As for the door opener companies, they want to make a profit and that's understandable but they didn't even suggest looking at it to replace parts because my Craftsman garage door opener system is older than most. I'm thankful for youtube and the channels that have taught me how to do home maintenance as well as safely on my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
