Did you leave something in front of the infrared safety sensors? Or is needs resetting for motion of travel. Adjusting travel https://embed.widencdn.net/pdf/plus/cgi/1wvkfor8eb/a2175m.pdf?u=8agqx6 ..

Many of these devices use a code that changes each time the door is opened and closed. This feature is used to keep potential bad people from learning your operational code and entering your garage. You may have a communication problem whereby the Garage Opener needs to be reset. You may try to change the settings. If you have dip switches on the main unit in the garage, change the dip switches to another setting and write down the numbers in the order that you have the set them, Then go to the remotes, hand held and hardware placed on the outside door, and change the settings on these devices to MATCH up with the inside unit. This is a good time to REPLACE the batteries also.

unpair it as there is another signal in your area on the same frequency. some frequencies can travel over a hundred meters or more. if you use a frequency monitor you will find there will be a lot of signals in your area. the original system will drown these out looking for its signal but pairing a device that has a different frequency or frequencies this can cause randone read. and will work on frequencies in this range can even be a freezer turning on etc. as every device make a signal.

have you changed the battery inside the remote yet?

No need to - the unit has adjustments to control where the door stops on closing. You need to back off a tad on the closing setting so that the door stays closed.

I know sometimes if the sun is shining towardso the sensor it will start to go up before hitting the floor but this soundshould like you may have a misaligned sensor or one of them going out but this doesn't explain why it hits the floor first so my answer to you is that the travel distance setting on the motor is not set right it thinks it's hitting something besides the floor the settings for the door travel distance should be on the back of the box that contains the motor I'm sure this is what is causing your problems

If you mean a repair manual the answer is not here.

Reset the travel distance setting on the back of the motor box

Try adjusting the force of the opener. Instructions are on page 25 of the manual. http://www.liftmaster.com/CatalogResourcesV3/en-us/shared/files/tucmanuals/114A3059.pdf

Phone the garge door doctor (Allready)

most likely there is a safety overload switch that will stop if the rollers on the track ( the steel that the door rolls in) is dry and needs to be greased so it can roll in the tracks freely also check the chain for the same, the chain drive should be free of any junk stuck on it ,the chain should not be to tight or twisted in any way, if it seems to be leaning one way or the other twist it straight with a pair of pliers also be sure its power source is not share with any other appliance. let me know of your progress.

see if there is a rubber hose trim along the bottom edge and that it has no holes or cuts also a small rock or pebble could trigger it to go back up

take some toilet paper, or some very light rag and dust the RPM sensor over, under, inbetween and in every spot on that darn thing, and bingo, it will work. Its the plastic ribed piece mounted on the end of the motor under opener cover. If something gets under door as door starts to go down, the RPM`s will slow and thats a warning to stop and go back up. With it being dusty, it can`t sense the RPM`s properly and goes into an alarm every single time. Ugg

The eyes do not stop the door from opening - They only work on the close cycle.

If the door will not open at all it may have a broken spring. Try unhooking the door from the opener.

If it works manually try the opener with the door unhooked.

NOTE: holding down the wall button overrides the safety eyes. This is the only bypass available (you need to get a new eye to replace the broken one.

Hope this helps

Hello,
Sounds to me like your backup batteries are low. The back up batteries are there for use should you use power. You can try this -

1. Unplug the garage door opener.
2. Get into the back up battery compartment.
3. Now unplug the connector to the battery pack and replug it in. This might help but if you continue to have this beeping then you will have to replace the backup batteries. You will not suffer any mechanical problems unless your electricity goes out.

Regards, Tony

try resetting the remote control should tell you in the manual if you don't have one try powering it down for a few Min's see if that woks

Have you tried the default code??, (refer to manual)

try changing the security code/frequency of the wireless remote, also you could verify the adjusment of the door (when closed)

Hi Diane.... yes. Newer garage door openers don't have changeable codes inside the unit or transmitters. You use the learn button to erase all the memory & to program transmitters into the unit. Each transmitter has a unique signal permanently set at the factory.
If you have had your garage door opener for a few years, you have to make a change on the back of the motor unit up by the ceiling and in the remote[s] by changing one or more tiny switches, called dip switches. Open up the remote and and take a look. If you have the dip switches, a series of tiny rocker switches that can rock one way or the other, then just change one or more of them to the opposite side and do the same with the set of dip switches on the back of the motor in the garage that moves the door.

If you have a newer system, one with no dip switches, you will just erase the memory and reprogram it with a new memory. To do that:

Programming Steps: 1) Locate the smart button on the motor head which is directly under the screw terminals where the push button and photo-cell wires connect to the unit and above the antenna wire. You may have to remove a lens or light cover to gain access to the learn button. 2) Push the smart button momentarily (Holding the smart button until the L.E.D. light beside the button goes out will erase all transmitter and keyless entries that are programmed into the unit) and verify the
L.E.D. light next to the button is lit solid. 3) Push the transmitter button that you want to use for that door within thirty seconds and before the
L.E.D. goes out. The L.E.D. will flash once and the transmitter will operate the door the next time the button is pushed. 4) If you have more than one door and a multi-button transmitter repeat steps 2-3 above for each door by using a different transmitter button for each unit. (Using the same button for more then one door at the same location will cause all the doors using that button to open and close at the same time and is not recommended.) The openers normally come with a single or a 3-button transmitter but 2-button and
4-button transmitters are also available as an option. 5) Repeat steps 2-3 above if you have more than one transmitter to program into your garage door opener.
