Craftsman 3/4 chain drive will not open, when pressing wall switch I hear click at the unit and the programming light will flash, but it doesn't open the door, or close for that matter the motor doesn't engage. Worked at noon then nothing. Have unplugged it to allow it to reset and be cool and that is not helping. Is this a repairable unit or should I just replace

The unit is for sure repairable. You should remove the cover from the motor unit and check the drive gear. It is a white nylon gear just in front of the motor and it will be obvious if it is bad. If you have had electrical storms it may have gotten to your logic board. You need to pull it and check for burnt or missing traces on the printed circuit.

You don't say but I am going to assume the door is stuck in the open position. Loosen the chain enough to relieve the tension on the trolley. Now run the opener until the door closes. While the door is closed locate the 'up limit' control on the side of the motor unit. Turn this control 2 full turns in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the cover. Tighten the chain.

Garage door opener makes a clicking sound when activated by the remote or wall unit and the lighton the back of the opener flashes. craftsman.

If the opener is making a clicking sound when it is running the chain is too tight. Post back with the number of flashes from the light.

The main light flashing 10 times is the sign of a door sensor problem. Check to see if the small light on each sensors is lit and not flickering. If you cannot get both lights to come on your sensors or the wiring to them is bad.
