Good news fellas (or ladies). I got it fixed.
I took the cover off the unit and observed what was happening during operation. Or should I say what wasn't happening. It turns out the bracket which holds the up/down distance controls cracked. So as the unit was working it was shaking the...
The screw drive goes into the plastic piece (which is about 4" long) and then the trolley/J-arm attaches to the plastic part to ride along the screw drive.
The unit is about 6 years old I think. It's strange because it gave no indication there was anything wrong. The limit seemed to go out of...
That is correct. The little plastic trolley part has been driven off the screw drive. The J arm is detached from the trolley using the pulle cord and is also removed from the door. The problem is the screw drive will only turn in 1 direction, to close the door so it will just push the trolley...
My unit has 4 adjustments. 2 for the limit (open/close) and 2 for the force (open/close). I removed the cover for the screwdrive and that gear is fine. I have not removed the cover for the entire unit to check the other gears. I just don't understand why the motor will only turn to close the...
I'm going to try and manually turn the screwdrive to bring the trolley all the way back to the unit and then attach the door in the open position. Perhaps with the soor attached, the force adjustments will allow it to open and close correctly. This could take a little bit.
Here's a link to an online manual I found.

I'm going to try and play with it a little more today. How do you recommend rengaging the trolley onto the drive when it will only turn to close? I hope I don't have to...
I will check that tomorrow. But it doesn't sound like it's trying to move the door and can't because of stripped gears. It just never even tries to reverse.
I have a hinged panel header mounted.
When you say adjust the trolley, this is where I'm having trouble. The trolley is no longer on the screwdrive. Previously if the trolley came off, I could just operate the opener and it would reattach itself when the screwdrive went in the reverse (door...
Hi,
Today my Craftsman GDO Model 139.53925DS started giving me problems.
First, it wouldn't stay closed. It would close all the way and then once it hit the floor it would start to reverse. This happened a few times so I figured ok, I have to adjust the closing limits/force. But as I was...
Hello,
I'm having an issue with hot water pressure in my 2nd floor shower. It's a Delta single handle tub and shower unit. The cold water has good steady pressure but the hot water just dribbles out both the tub and shower heads. I replaced the cartridge (Delta RP32104) and the issue still...
