Garage door won't stay open?
Normally, my garage door can stay opened when manually raising it up (automatic opening device broke a while back). Today I tried to open the garage door and notice that the door just keeps sliding back down all the way. It was also easier to lift up compared to usual. Anybody know which part might be at fault or what the problem is?

Sounds like or at least related to a spring or a cable. Do you have extension springs or torsion springs? Extension springs run along the horizontal part of the track at the ceiling and torsion springs run along the header. You may be able to spot the problem by comparing the various components of the two sides.
