I have a Sears Craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener. 3 Years old. Recently after painting my garage wall, I have some weired problem with my garage door opener.
I am able to open my garage door from the remote as well as the controller unit.
But I am able to close the door only from the controller mounted inside the garge wall (You know what I mean). That too I have to keep holding this until it closes completely. Whenever the button is released, the door opens. Because of this phenomena, I am not able to close the garage from the remote.
It appears as though the unit requires continuous power for closing the garage instead of a pulsed start.
I am looking for tips on how to fix this. Do I have to replace the whole unit? Has anyone experience this before?
thanks for your inputs (alwar)
