SOURCE: Chamberlain Liftmaster Pro. Garage door Problems closing

The sensor eye - or more likely, the other end, the sensor light - probably got knocked out of alignment. The eye should have an LED on it - possibly one that glows green when it's ready to close or red when it's obstructed or out of alignment. Try adjusting the light until the LED on the receiver glows green.

SOURCE: Chamberlain garage door opener unit-is it compatible with craftsman keypad?

Hello,Linda well this is your lucky day ,I have installed garage door openers for sears for 10 years and i can tell you that craftsman,chamberlain ,and liftmaster are all the same machine and manufactured under the liftmaster name , if you buy it from home depot it will be a chamberlain ,if you buy it at sears ,it will be a craftsman, and if you go to commercial building supplier it will be a liftmaster! now getting that out of the way even though they are all compatible ,there is one thing that stands in their way and that,s time ,For example if your chamberlain machine is 5 years old and you went to sears last week ,the chances of the frequency being the same are not good , most likely you have the wireless keypad , one way to test the sears keypad against the chamberlain machine is to locate the smart button on your machine ,this button allows for programming of remotes and keypads , to test and see exactly what im talking about take your remote and locate the smart button ,if you have three buttons on the remote press one of the buttons that are not being used on the remote ,above the smart button their will be a blinking light ,if you press your remote button you will notice the light go from a blink to a rapid flash , This is telling you that you are sending a signal for programming to the machine , well the keypad is exactly the same all you have to do is push the enter button on the keypad and have someone watch for the rapid blinking light ,if they are compatible the light will blink rapidly on the machine so all you have to do now is have someone press the smart button once on the machine your indicator light will now be a solid light you will have approx 60 seconds then to put a 4 digit code in the keypad and then press and hold down the enter button on the keypad , at this point you will notice the lightbulbs on the chamberlain machine to shut off and come back on this is to tell you that the machine accepted the code , after thats been done you can use your keypad , you can also find the owners manual to the chamberlain and follow the same instructions to programming the remote , they are identical in programing , if your keypad is not the same frequency you can also tell by looking at the frequency code on the backside of the keypad and also the chamberlain unit usually where the light bulb is will be its code

SOURCE: Replacing screw drive socket coupler on chamberlain garage opener

There are two bolts just in front of the motor that holds the rail. Remove these and you can move the motor back enough to slide the coupler off.

SOURCE: Chamberlain Lift Master Pro Formula 1 only makes click sound

Is the door stuck in the open position? If so the trolley is probably jammed against the bolt just in front of the motor unit. Loosen the chain enough to free the trolley and then run the opener until the door is closed. While the door is closed locate the 'up limit' on the side of the motor unit and turn this control 2 complete turns in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the cover. Tighten the chain.

Cannot open my garage door manually after I disengage it from the garage door opener (chain drive)

They are not light weight but there is no reason if the motor can raise it, then you cannot raise it by hand.

My electric garage door goes up only 6 inches and the comes down 3 inches when I use the remote. I noticed a Thin wire/cable hanging. I have no other entry door to the garage other than the garage door....

A door technician uses a special tool to pull the emergency release after drilling a small hole in the door. The door can then be lifted without damaging anything. A keyed manual release assembly is then installed in the hole to be used if there are problems in the future like a power outage or malfunction like you have now.

Chamberlain Power Drive / Whisper Drive My garage door starts to open and immediately reverses but continues to run. I had to release the cord to allow the chain to run its course before it would stop....

It sounds like the door is your problem.
Check the counter balance spring above the door. It is likely broken.
If the door cannot be operated manually, the garage door opener will not open it either. The machine is made to operate a door that works correctly. If the door is broken, the machine will not work either.
It also sounds like the opener gears may be worn out. That also occurs because the door required service.

My garage door opens about a foot and then stops suddenly and doesn't move. No blinking lights start, so I am not sure what is going on. I also don't have my user manual to help me out. Chain looks...

check the track system to make sure all the wheels are in track and/or there are no obstructions preventing it from opening, it may be equipped with an emergency shut off if there are any obstructions, also, make sure track is well greased, too dry of a track causes alot of friction.

check with your model number on chaimberlain's manual download page here:

Cold weather. Opener lifts door ~8

If there is any grease in the tracks clean it all out. On the rear of your motor unit you will find the 'up force' control. Turn this about 1/4 turn and try. You also should take a good look at your door springs and make sure one isn't broken. Release the door from the opener and open it manually. Shouldn't be heavy and should stay when released about 1/2 way up.

Craftsman garage door does not open all the way stops @12 inches

You most likely have a broken door spring. Release the door from the opener and try lifting it by hand. Look above the door for the springs.

LiftMaster Gargage door opener problem

The door obstacle detector(reversing switch) needs adjustment, or the down limit sensor needs adjusting, or one of the lift springs is loose or broken. First, remove power from the opener, pull the red door release rope, and try to lift the door up manually. You should be able to lift it all the way open with litle effort. If it opens ok, pull the door down about halfway and let go. If it is properly balanced, it should stay where you left it. If the door fails either one of these tests, it needs spring replacement or adjustment. If the door moves ok, refer to your owners manual on how to adjust the reversing switch, linit switches, and photocell sensors at the door bottom.
