Genie screwdrive troubleshooting

When activated, the motor just gives a short burst (about a second) and stops immediately. A lot of humming and staining seem to be happening too. I disconnected the door, same thing with no load. Popped the cover off and tried to turn the screw manually - it turns. Capacitor is good, the sequencer board "looks" good. Can I get some advice please on what to check next? Unit is about 15 yo, so may be a little tired. Thanks.

If your door has the limit switches mounted on the rail, check them first. one may be shorted.

Is there an extension kit on the rail? If so, it is out of alignment and binding.

Chamberlain Elite CSW200UL3 - Loop Detector Unit

L

Long Lam on Jan 26, 2016

Hello All, I have the Chamberlain Elite CSW200UL3 here at our condo complex. It looks like we have some safety loop lines that were installed but for some reason our loop detector device has gone missing (before I bought the condo that is part of the HOA). From the manual, [url]http://www.afence.com/PDF/CSWwSurgeManual.pdf[/url], it looks like the part number A79 is the external loop detector I'm looking for but I haven't be able to find one that is well priced. [url=http://www.proteccontrols.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=110]Elite A-79 Loop Detector, Protec Controls[/url] as an example. I see that there are a lot of loop detectors sold on Ebay and in my mind it seems like it will do exactly the same thing, something like this: [url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/D-Tek-MS-Vehicle-Loop-Detector-Model-3416D-New-In-Box-/291669933938?hash=item43e8e1ff72:g:4NkAAOSwiLdV-FXL]D Tek MS Vehicle Loop Detector Model 3416D New in Box | eBay[/url] Does anyone have some thoughts on what loop detector units you may have used in the past and some guidance on which ones I could install? It looks like the A79 is 115VAC, does that matter? Also, seems like many of the ones I've seen on Ebay are 10 pin connectors and I haven't seen many harnesses for those. Any thoughts on this as well? Thanks,Read More

Hi sorry I'm new to the site. I have a new problem with my garage opener. My garage opener will not close all the way. it will close only a foot then stop and go back up a foot. I have to keep pressing it in order for it to close all the way. if i hold down the button on the wall it still will not close but does the same thing with starting and stopping. I have tried cleaning the sensor lens but i havent bought a new pair. I read that it may be sensitivity settings but any help would be great.Read More
