The colder it gets, the thicker the grease gets, and the more force needed
to open it. You may have to adjust the up/down force on the opener to
compensate for the thick grease.

My Craftsman 1/2 HP Garage Door opener always takes 3 or 4 attempts to
open the garage door in colder weather (under 50 degrees
temperature). It goes up about 1/4 of the way and just stops then we
close it and try again for 3-4 times and it finally opens the door.
If its really cold it takes more attempts. In warm weather (above
60 or 70 degrees) it opens with no problems on the first attempt.

I greased the chain and rollers alot but still doesnt help. Please
advise what I can do to fix the issue?
