Thank you for making this video - don't worry about comments from people who don't have any patience and will never fix anything on their own. I have a Chamberlain opener that my son uses primarily. It started not wanting to stay shut in the winter in MN no less. He told me that when he opened it, it went up a little and then stopped. Then he closed it and it opened back up on its own. Then he left and shut the door (he thought) and it opened itself again after he took off. In the meanwhile my garage heater was going full blast for two hours til he came back home from skating and told me that it wasn't staying shut... Anyway, I was able to fix mine by adjusting back the down-travel by about 3/4 of a turn. I diagnosed mine by disconnecting the trolley and running the unit. It did not return after moving down the track so I figured an adjustment would probably do it for now. I have a feeling the door was maybe frozen to the floor and it jumped a tooth either in the housing or on the screw drive when it had a hard time opening. Either that or I may need to get out the soldering iron and do some surgery like you did. Thank you for providing the in-depth info on this and showing the internals of your opener. I thought the length of your video was perfect and I enjoyed the humor as well. :)

Hey Javier - that's a strange problem. If you take the batteries out of your remote, does the garage door still open on its own after sitting for two minutes? I'm wondering if the problem could just be your remote. By removing the batteries you can eliminate that as a possibility. I wouldn't worry too much about Sears' longevity as a company - parts should be available for years to come because they're made by others anyway.

Hey James! I'd start off by adjusting the up and down travel limit screws, and possible the force adjustment screws. Although, if it was working properly before and NOW its causing problems with both up and down I suspect it is related to the ground wire on the switch that I described in the video. That wire would affect both directions. Good luck and feel free to post if you have any questions along the way.

If you've done that, and it isn't saving (ie: the door keeps trying to go down and eventually reverses itself) it means either the setting wasn't saved properly (control board issues I guess) or the travel/position sensor and/or its wiring is faulty. Have you opened up the case to see what it looks like?

Yeah you're right, but there are plenty of videos on youtube like that, that just assume it is one particular problem leading to the symptom. They aren't much help if yours is failing for another reason. The idea here was to explain the various inputs to better troubleshoot the symptom vs. zeroing in on a particular cause.

You’re right. I got a bit long winded but the explanation is necessary to properly troubleshoot a variety of reasons why the door won’t stay done.

too much talking

Hey Carlos - you're not alone in that assessment. With this video rather than just saying "hey if your garage door is broken, this is the problem", I tried to give an overview of how the entire system works, so that if someone is having a different problem than I did, they're able to start narrowing it down and troubleshooting it themselves.

BS

The full first 1/3 of this video is preamble - worthless. Please get to the bottom line quickly. In English. Thanks.

Get to the point

Too much talking☹️

Tell how to fix it...no one cares about your phone calls, which one you were going to buy or your conversation with Sears....JUST TELL HOW TO FIX THE DAMN THING!! YOU TALK TO MUCH.

You don't need an example to watch to be able to follow directions. Just tell how to fix it, add all the bull shit about your conversations with store clerks and your phone calls at the end of the video.

Too much talk not enough show.

It's guys like you that make KZread amazing and such a good place to learn how to fix everyday problems! I get so much satisfaction from fixing something like a garage door opener rather than just buying new. It also saves money, of course! Thanks for taking the time and effort to post your video!
