SOURCE: Just installed a new genie garage door opener.

Change the sensor and make sure the magnet comes close enough to activate it. Sometimes I have even changed the magnetic ones for real switches too.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the info. Interesting you mention a magnet. I don't see one unless its built into the carriage."

Genie pro screw drive 1/2 hp model cm8600ic/a -- 10 years old- always operated correctly til now:

Dear Erik,
Although I do not sell or service garage door openers as a profession, I will be glad to tell you you only need to adjust the door, and is should be fine.
There are adjustments on the motor, to tell when the door is the right distance up and the right distance down, and the chain must be adjusted correctly, and the rollers need lubricating oil, and the slotted tracks need grease.
With all these done, you will be good to go.
Most doors need this service every 3 - 4 years, with normal use.
I cannot tell you specifically how to do this, because each door is different, but you might get really good pictured help on "youtube".
God bless your efforts.

It is probably the lubrication in the rollers. You should lubricate them and make a small adjustment to the torque sensor. When it gets cold the lub gets stiff. The torque sensor will detect this and open the door, a safe position.

I just installed a Sears Craftsman 1/2 HP Garage Door opener. As I was doing the adjustment to keep the door closed, it closed too tight. I disengaged and confirmed the door arm was set wrong so I fixed...

Use the emergency release handle to release the door. Run the opener to the open position until it stops. Close the door until it stops. Now re engage the the door.

I have a Sears Model 139.53879 (3-Function Remote Control) garage door opener. It's about 12 years old. The remote controls open the door fine but the remotes do not close the door; it has to be closed...

Sounds like a problem with the safety photocells, to confirm locate the where the safety input is on the opener and bridge out the terminals ( not the supply voltage terminals) if the door then closes the photocells are the problem.

Genie Directlift garage door opener, wall control problem.

Sounds like a skinned wire on your front or rear limit switches is touching metal. Go over your low voltage wiring and test again.
