Sears Garage Door Opener: Garage door closes after opening

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 03:04:30 -0700

Hello!

Recently my garage door started closing immediately after being opened via the remote or the button inside the garage. After several attempts to open it, it finally stops going down again, or if you push it upward when it's near the top, it seems to stop it.

Anyone know what would cause this, and if there's a simple fix, or do I need a new garage door opener? Getting my car in the garage is like playing a strange video game, and one of these days it's going to scrape my car! :-(

My garage door opener is a Sears 139 65 3000.

Thanks!

John

remote won't allow for use to close the garage. The wall mount one has to be held down for the garage door to open or close. The remote will open door only.

Sears Garage Door Opener: Can I use a universal Programable Remote

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 11:57:10 -0700

I am wondering if I can use a universal programmable remote with this garage door opener? The remote says it works with sears and craftsman opener that were made after 1997. I do not know when the opener was made and I just purchased the house and it did not come with any remotes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sears Garage Door Opener: Winter is here and my garage door does not stay closed

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 18:16:02 -0700

my craftsman 1/2 hp garage door closes and opens fine. However, when i close the door via remote or the wall panel, the door goes down, hits the floor for a few seconds, and then comes back up.

Here is a video that may explain better: https://youtu.be/F5DQLjm5dxA

I’ve gone through the forums and have checked the following:

checked the 2 censors to make sure they are aligned and the green light is on,.
I’ve cleaned everything around the sensors it to make sure there is no obstruction.
I have also unplugged and plugged in the power to the motor
I’ve played around with the up and down tension adjustments in the back
I’ve tried holding the wall button to by-pass the sensor. The door still doesn’t stay down. Which makes me wonder if the issue is with the motor unit?

I called a couple of repair guys and they both quoted me $150 to come check it out. I am hoping someone here can help from having this unexpected expense.

Garage Door opens by itself. I tried to erase the memory and use the old remote that came with it but the yellow learn button won’t erase all the memory.
