Sears garage door opener down limit adjustment.

I ve installed a new sears 3 4 hp belt driven opener with battery backup. Here a sears craftsman garage door operator is shown to have a worn part causing the opener. If your garage door freezes on the way up or if it stops and reverses directions on the way down you may need to increase the force adjustments on your garage door opener. You can access these controls on the overhead unit.

Slowly turn the corresponding knob and test the door until it opens and closes correctly. If your sensors are functioning normally but the garage door isn t opening or closing properly you may need to adjust the close limit switch or close force control. This video from sears partsdirect shows how to check the garage door for smooth travel adjust force settings and test the new settings to make sure the door closes safely. I can set the upper limit as directed and then the down.
