    Hello everyone!

    So I have a Sears Craftsman garage door opener. It always worked well and had no issues despite being an older model. Unfortunately I can't get the door to close without it going back up almost instantly. I have checked the sensors and they have no problem. I also checked the track to see if they were misaligned and they weren't. I tried adjusting the travel and nothing. I can't find any solution to this problem.

    A bit of a back story. The motor that moves the chain broke and I replaced it myself. Right after installing it, the garage door worked perfectly and had no issues. However, I decided to buy a myQ garage door opener which programs to your garage door opener and then connects to wifi so you can control the door from your phone anywhere. After installing it i noticed my garage door became strange. It wouldn't always close and sometimes it would almost close and then suddenly go back up. I removed the device and unprogrammed it. After all the problem never went away. I even tried opening and closing jt from the hardwired button and still doesn't work. I had to detach the door from the rail to close it manually, when doing so I pressed the button to see if the rail would close and it still keeps doing the same thing. I'm assuming the problem has to do with the motor or logic board. If you know anything about this please let me know! Thank you!!!

    Try increasing the close force.

    I did try that and it worked the first time. After it closed, I opened it to test again. Then upon closing it, it stopped working.

    Check force limits and ensure the gears on the motor shaft and trolley mesh properly. If the problem persists after unprogramming, temporarily disconnect the myQ device's wires to see if the door closes normally. If none of the above work, a faulty logic board might be the culprit. Consult a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.

    Hello,

    Regarding your Sears Craftsman garage door opener issue, it seems you've already tried several troubleshooting steps without success. Let me provide some additional suggestions that may help diagnose and resolve the problem:

    Force Adjustment:
    The force adjustment controls how much force the motor applies to open and close the door. It's possible the force setting is too low, causing the door to reverse during closing.
    Check the force adjustment settings and gradually increase the close force until the door can complete its full travel without reversing.
    Limit Switch Adjustment:
    The limit switches control when the door starts and stops its travel. If they are misadjusted, it can cause the door to reverse.
    Carefully adjust the limit switches to ensure the door is closing fully without binding or hitting the floor.
    Safety Sensor Alignment:
    Even though you've checked the sensors, it's worth double-checking their alignment and making sure nothing is obstructing them.
    Ensure the sensors' beams are properly aligned and not being interrupted during the door's travel.
    Logic Board Replacement:
    If the above adjustments don't resolve the issue, the problem may lie with the logic board or control unit.
    Consider having a qualified technician inspect the logic board and replace it if necessary.
    Motor Condition:
    Since you mentioned replacing the motor, it's possible the new motor is not fully compatible or has some other issue.
    Have the motor tested or consider replacing it with a known compatible model.
    I would recommend contacting a professional garage door technician if you're unable to resolve the issue through your own troubleshooting efforts. They will have the expertise to properly diagnose and repair the problem with your Sears Craftsman garage door opener.
