Garage door opener runs and stops.

When the opener is activated the screw rotates causing the nut to move until it reaches the switch. The motor continues to run after the garage door is closed. There s something wrong with the garage door opener that s stopping it from opening the door for you. Garage door openers use a system of springs sensors pulleys and tracks to automatically open and close your garage door.

You might need to consider replacing it if your door is not working properly or you may purchase a new opener. In most cases the cause will be a stripped gear or a chain that has come off the sprocket. Garage door opens but the motor won t stop running. If it happens at all it will usually be noticed when you first install the garage door opener.

If your garage door opens and suddenly stops it might be because of your logic board. In a typical situation the motor for your garage door opener should stop running once the door has closed. If you find that it keeps running this can present a problem in your system. Quite often the cause of your door s malfunction is an improperly set garage door limit.

The logic board receives and responds signals to any remote. Open up the case and look for a screw type track that moves when the opener runs. When this unusual problem occurs it means the up limit switch probably needs to be moved away from the motor unit. Measure the height where the door stops while it is being opened.

It is rare for this problem to suddenly appear. These systems usually operate with little difficulty but occasionally. Sometimes the limit switch is activated by the movement of a specially shaped nut traveling on this track. This requires a simple turn with a screwdriver to reset the limit so the garage door opens and closes all.
