My garage door opens about 2 feet and then stops. Then it gives a loud grinding/rattling noise.
l need to press the opener again and then the garage door goes back to
close position.l have checked the springs (they were replaced only 5
months ago).
Better get a new one. I had one that did that several years
ago, and when I took the cover off the opener, I found shavings everywhere
and the drive gear was stripped! The grinding / rattling noise was the gear
rapidly disintegrating!
It is broken. :D
Mine does that when the weather gets really hot. I think the
door or the wooden frame expands in the high heat and humidity. If I
apply a little pressure in the direction that it is heading it will
usually works OK. As soon as it cools down, it stops. Also a little WD40
helps.
My guess is that the track is jammed. Pull the release cord &
try lifting the door manually. If it travels all the way up with not
problems, the track is clear & the motor or its chain is at fault.
If there are no visible obstructions in the track but it is still binding
up, check to make sure the track hasn't bent or that two pieces of track
aren't out of line.
If the door moves fine with the release cable pulled, then the motor or travel arm is at fault & I would recommend calling the manufacturer.
You might need to increase the tension on the pull chain. This
is usually done with a tension screw on the side of the main gear box, or
refer to your owners' manual. At leaset that is what I had to do with
mine. Hope that helps.
Similar problem a while back. Standing inside of garage w/ door
in stuck position look at the wheels running inside the track. Check all of
them to see if any are getting stuck or trying to jump out of the track.
May be bent track or broken wheel.
Try to watch the chain assembly there at the motor as you
attempt to open it, is it loose and chain slipping..?
I believe there is a way to tighten those with just a screwdriver or
crescent wrench/vice grips
plz use a machine oil in the side panes of your door to stop it
from making rattling sound.
You better call the garage door man back out
