Answer com writes:I am not a garage door opener technician, only a user for many years. The following answer is based on my experience, and hopefully will be replaced or improved by a professional. Many garage door opener manufacturers, in order to make their product SAFER, have added a circuit in the motor which measures the amount and changes in the operating current.

The purpose is to detect anything blocking the movement of the door e.g. , a child, a person, a pet, a vehicle, etc.Upon detection, the door is supposed to stop, and sometimes even return to its previous stopped position usually full open. 1ANYTHING which causes the door to "work harder" can trick that detector and cause the situation you describe. If there is nothing blocking the door, I have found that "dragging" rollers can cause the problem.

If this is the cause in your case, then you probably can correct it. First, carefully CLEAN all accumulated dust, dirt, lint, cobwebs, grease, etc from the tracts, the rollers, and the roller axles. Then carefully lubricate all roller bearings/axles with 2 or 3 DROPS each of any clean oil.Do NOT overlubricate as this just encourages more accumulation of debris.

Another possibility is that some or all of the rollers and/or their bearings/bushings are worn out, causing the drag, and then it will be necessary to replace them. These parts are usually available at your local hardware stores, or home improvement warehouses like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.IF your problem is caused by "drag," then proper cleaning and lubrication will fix the problem.

Yes, I was going to say something similar to what Gary wrote. You want to make sure the garage door is adjusted properly, because what may be happening is when the door hits the floor, it may think it hit an obstruction and jumps back open. So that's something an installer might be able to fix.

Thanks, both ideas make very good sense proudfoot 12 months ago .

Check the Force setting on the unit for the proper tension. I had a similar problem on a Sears unit - it was hitting the garage floor and then pausing for a second and reversing automatically. The force/tension setting is typically a dial on the unit itself, test it by backing it off a little at a time.

It sounds like you probably have an obstruction in the rail path that an emergency sensor is picking up com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
