genie screw driver garage door opener
Hi,
I have a genie screw driver 2 door garage door. It came with the house but no users manual. So i do not know what model it is. It came up half way a few hours ago and just stayed there. The connecting screw(from the door to the unit) kept spinning. The door did not come up though. Finally after a few hours...now ie. the door is down and I cannot even bring it up half way. I have to manually bring it up now. It goes down fine though. Any idea whats going on here? Is it better for me to get a new unit for 150-200 and install that instead of trying to fix this? I have not asked for a technician to arrive here so far....because I am worried it might be a ripoff -MPV |

Sounds like a stripped carriage (the part w/ the manual release) if the
door works easily by hand. Doordoc www.DoorsAndOpeners.com |
