every so often my door won't stay down when closing. Could it be the the opener itself? Or the remote control.

If your garage door has a sensor beam near the bottom of the door, or a torque sensor that stops the door (if the load on the motor is more than the setting), both would stop or reverse the door. Before you blame the remote, check and make certain that the photo-eye censor is always seeing the light beam. Usually, there's and indicating light (sometimes green, but could be white or amber). Try adjusting this. By placing you hand over either end (sender or receiver) when the door begins to operate, your door should either stop or reverse. Mine has come out of adjustment and caused my door to go up.

It's very likely the opener. You may want to check the reflector/safety mechanism if there is one, and make sure it's aligned properly. To make sure it's not the remote you could try removing the batteries and not using it for some time, instead using (assuming you have one) they key pad.

The answer you see a lot for this question, is blame the sensors. But another big issue, is the downforce because of changes in the door. Read http://www.garagerepairutah.com/garage-door-opener-open-close-problems/ They have several tips for how to fix the downforce, how to test the door and what not.

Does it go all the way down? If not, that usually means that something is blocking the sensor. It could also be the sun shining on the sensor which could interfere with it.

It is most likely a problem with the sensor which transmits a signal across the bottom of your door as it is closing. In my case I have had to clean the bottom of my door of a fallen leaf or even a spiderweb. The light beam will prevent the door from closing if anything blocks it's path. A great safety feature especially if you have small children.

My door closes with some suction when i close it...I think. Love the machine!!

Mine is automatic. When you open the door so far, it stays open until you pull it closed. We don't have a switch or anything like that.

I'm having problems with the remote too. Sometimes the fan won't shut off unless I turn the wall switch off.

Gee i have 3 of them and hasn't happened. My first suspicion is maybe the bolt hole is a little too snug. I'd check if you have the same issue with the door open. Then loosen the plates a little to see if you still have the issue. Several things could cause it, but maybe when they originally drilled the holes they were a little off?

If you haven't tried already, you need to turn the handle while you close the door. The bolts are supposed to go in. Have you set the new code? Perhaps there is a battery issue?

no that hasn't happened to me. Mine has a bit of trouble actually getting closed as it is so tight. We just shut it until it stops then push the buttons to close it the rest of the way. Otherwise we slam it shut and then it shuts just fine. We love the gate especially the fact that we can take it off and leave the brackets when we want to.

I have this model door closer and it closes perfectly - complete closes, quietly and quickly, with a soft close. Ours does not keep the door open, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so.

I had the same problem and fixed it by bending the door so that it was tight. Did it by hand and now the door is held firm but not to tight. This corrected the issue. BTW, we love the game.

You may need to change out the rpm sensor. I had a similar problem with an older lift master door opener and it would start to reverse and then go back up. I replaced the rpm sensor and problem was gone.

On mine the sound changes and is a little louder towards the end. Have had no problems with it but wish it was heavier. Every time I push the door opener it slides back a bit.

You have to pull the door handle all the way to the "up" position, otherwise it will fall back down and lock.

I never had any problem with the door falling off, check to make sure it is connected to the box correctly, if not request another one. Hopes this helps..

I do have problem in getting battery door to close. Not sure I'm doing wrong and it's a defect one.

Never had that problem. The door was the wrong one to begin with so we sent it back. Sorry I can't help you.

Turn the "manual release button" on the side of the opener, first in one direction, and if that doesn't work, in the reverse direction. This hasn't happened often, but every time I tried this, it worked!

so you can't open the door from the inside or from the outside ? if that is the case then the cable that runs from the door handle to the latch mechanism at the rear of the door behind the actuator has been knocked loose from the lever .
