    Malfunctioning garage door opener
    I cannot find my srvice book and am having trouble with my garage door opener. It is an over head door fast opening model. It will start up and stop about a foot off the floor. Sometimes it will work perfectly. This occurs with all controls; the remotes and the wall switch. If I hold the wall switch in all the time it will open. Can some one help. Thanks Paul

    Thanks for your reply. I checked the sesnors and they are both showing a steady light on them. If I block the path they start flasing so I don't believe that is the problem.. Thanks agaiun for answering. Paul
