About 3 weeks ago my automatic garage door started acting up. It would partially open up and then stop. This didn't happen all the time and not always to the same height. Usually if it did it two or three times in a row, I could get it to finally open on the 3rd or 4th attempt. Today when I came open it was a different story. The door will open about 6 inches and then stop. That's it. Help!
I've never once had any problems getting it to go down. I released the garage door from the track (sorry for lack of techinical terms) and was able to easily open it manually. Also I then tried to see what happens when I hit the opener when it was disconnected. It all moved like it was supposed to without any problems. I also checked the eyes to see if something was blocking them and causing it to stop opening, but couldn't find anything. The garage door opener is 3 years old and I have never had any previous problems with it. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Please reply in plain ol' english, cause like I mentioned earlier I am far from techinical minded. Thanks!:help:
