RE: Garage Door Not Opening Properly
Those wheels and tracks need to be lubricated every three months.

RE: Garage Door Not Opening Properly
Here is a weird one, the garage door will only go down. It will only go up about two inches from the ground.
No obstructions, is on track. This is when operating it from a push button on the wall. Any ideas anyone?

Are there any new homes or neighbors in your area? Believe it or not my garage door opener would trigger my neighbors door if i pushed the button as i approched my driveway. We finally discovered that we had both used the same code--our zipcode-for our combination--- just a thought

Check the electric eyes on both sides of the door opening, at the bottom, and see if cobwebs or debris is covering over them. Also check the electrical plug and see if it is plugged all the way in or is working loose. Save that service call, that I had to pay for both of these issues.

Check for cobwebs around the electric eyes. Check and see if the electrical plug is all the way in the outlet. I have had both of these things to happen - and had to pay service call.

We have a Sears garage opener and from time to time it does exactly the same thing. Each time it has been that the little door sensor down by the floor. Someone??? keeps bumping it somehow which dislodges the tiny wires that go into it. All I do is tell that someone and HE puts the wires back in. Also, ours has a cord that you pull up by the motor at the ceiling that allows you to open the door manually in case of emergency. You could always pull that cord which releases the auto mechanism and then just open by hand. Watch pinching your fingers though!!!! Been there and done that!

Had the exact same set of symptoms--it was a loose wire or short in the wall button.

I just had to call service man as door only went down about a foot. The problem was it needed oil and greasing. It now works fine. Maybe this can help you.

We sold our 3-bedroom home this past June and we had a Sears garage door opener. At times we had some similar problems. The garage door opener has an antenna that receives a signal when you press the remote control. You might have to make an adjustment by raising or lowering the antenna.
Give that a try before calling the repair service.
