This is a very old garage door opener. Brand name is "Auto Mate". It
is probably 25 years old or even more. It was working fine until last
week. There was a paint bucket which stopped the door while it was
closing. After that I am unable to close the door. Every time I
activate the door, it opens, but it will not reverse direction.

Before you ask, this door does not have an optical sensor for
obstructions.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It likely does have a force sensor. The first thing you want to do is
to disconnect the opener and try moving it up and down manually. It should
move smoothly and easily and it should be able to park at the top and
bottom.
