Clear this up for me....
so, when you hit the button it opens fully then comes back down a few feet? But, when you hit the remote button it works the way it should? |

Garage Door Does Not Stay Up When Manually Opened Fully
three things you can do:
1. re-engage the opener with it open. (this would only work with a genie screw drive) 2. adjust your springs. 3. use a pair of vise grips to hold it open -- Steve Barker wrote in message oups.com... wrote: Clear this up for me.... so, when you hit the button it opens fully then comes back down a few feet? But, when you hit the remote button it works the way it should? -When I say "manually open", I mean that i pull the rope to dislodge the electric-opener. Then i manually push the door up all the way. then i let go and the door slides down by about couple of feet! -there is no problem using with the electric opener. i can press button on the remote or the switch mounted near the door, either way the door opens and closes fully w/o any problem -thanks for your interest. i appreciate it. |
