help with garage door opener needed
We bought a house that has a Craftsman garage door opener and recently it has been finicky to close. The photo eyes are clean and seem to be aligned ( green/yellow lights ). The problem is it does not always want to close. Sometimes you have to press the remote or garage button once and all is good. Other times you may have to press two to three times. This morning I had to get out of my vehicle and stand in front of the door and press the button many times. Each time it would start it's closure and then after a foot or two of movement it would go back up. All door rollers seem in good shape and lubricated. Chain has onle a little slack and also well lubricated. The slide rail is greased well. The overhead spring is in good shape and all fasteners are tight. I'm ready to rip it out and replace but mechanically it seems to be fine. Any ideas on the issue or its resolution ? Just a note there is never an issue with the door going up, it is smooth and seamless.
