You must be in a different time zone. It's only 23 Dec. in California..

Up here near Spokane, Wa we have been under an Arctic high, temps down
near zero with highs only mid teens for over a week. *Garage door
failed right off when I was clearing a snow drift. *Had to disconnect
the opener. *It would only start to close then reverse. *Got a break
in the weather yesterday and checked it out.
Cleaned sensors, check this check that.

Discoverd that it worked just fine as long as kept my boot out of the
sensor path.

Doesn't take much to keep this senior citizen amused

Has the temp risen since the failure?

If my GDO (no sensors) is right on the edge of the down or up force
required for "decent" weather, it will sometimes balk (in one or the
other direction) when it gets cold. Things stiffen up a bit and the U/
D force settings sense an obstruction and do their thing.

I set mine a little stronger in the winter and then lighten them up in
the spring.
