You may have a broken spring which will make the door too heavey for the opener to lift.

My door will open and close completely, then the next time it only begins to close ,goes about 12 inches then reverses..what is wrong with it

Try turning your down force up alittle higher if your door is only wanting to go down a foot or so. If your light bulbs are flashing, you then have a problem with the safety eyes.

Wanye dalton door opener modal 3018. goes up 1 foot and stops

Check your door springs. Usually just over the door and can be seen when the door is closed. A broken spring is the most common cause of this problem.

Door goes up about a foot and stops

The sensors have nothing to do with your door opening. First thing to check are the door springs. One may be broken. Next remove the cover and check the drive gear. It is a white nylon gear just in front of the motor. It may be stripped.
