Thank you SO much for sharing this info! I've been trying to pin down why the door would open, but not close for my family, but seemed to work for me. Turns out it was because I'd wait more than 4 minutes (not planned) then go out and check it and it all worked. I NEVER would have figured out it was related to the light bulb. I removed the bulb and now it opens and closes. I have capacitors on order to fix it the right way.
Thanks a lot Rich. I had the exact same problem. I didn't find this post until I realized it only happened after the light was switched off. I didn't have a bulb in it.
Thanks for the compliment. I hope the video was helpful and you could resolve your problem. My opener is still going strong but I had to replace the electric eyes on the door because they kept giving a false blocked door reading. Found replacements on Amazon and I'm good for another 25 years. 🙂
Hello Doshin, UA-cam has stopped notifying me again. Sorry to be late with my reply. I'm glad I was able to help you with the repair. Mine is still going strong so you hopefully you will have good service from your opener. 🙂
Hi, BY. It doesn't have a part number, just a rating. This one is 35 volt, 330 uF (microfarad). I got a replacement on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073YPZ8PL
Thanks for posting this. Mine wouldn’t work with any remotes just from the wall opener. Checked the cap and it was bad. Didn’t have one so I used a few connected parallel to get the correct uf to test it out. Works great. Thanks for posting this.
Old caps leak! They can cause all kinds of problems. Since I was an Avionics Tech I troubleshot a 12-y/o Pioneer Stereo Amp I had bought when I was overseas in the Navy. I replaced every cap in it, all the cap back in 1994 cost be over $60.00. Way too many caps to count and various sizes. I had to triple check every one as I installed them. I hate to think if I would have cost if I had taken it to someone.
I’m so grateful that I found this video, followed the steps, and fixed the same problem with my garage door opener
Thank you! I followed your directions and the garage door works perfectly now.
Aces 😃 Glad I could help
Thanks for sharing this information! My 20 year old Liftmaster is working again after replacing the same capacitor.
Hi Josh, I'm glad I was able to help you. Thanks for watching. 🙂

Hi David, I'm glad my video helped you.
Thank you for this information. We spent $22.00 and a little time. Door works as it should now. Awesome!
Great! Glad I was able to help. Mine still works. 😀

Works! Thanks for the video!
Great, Jim. Glad I could help you
What's the part # for that capacitor and where did you order it from ?

Sorry for the delay, UA-cam doesn't always notify me. That sounds like a lot of work. I hope it paid off and you have the Pioneer up and running.
