@ Garage Door Genius
Why is a green light blinking up on the motor casing near the force controls?
This solved my issue!! I actually had a service guy come out and suggest it was probably a bent panel and would need to replace the entire door for $1400. I told him I needed to do some research first. Turns out I just needed to adjust this downforce. You saved me from getting screwed over by an apparently shady company.
That's music to my ears! Love saving people from shady ass door guys. 💯👍🏼🙏
Thank you very much boss
Could still be a bend, skew, or insufficient lubrication. None of these validate an entire door replacement, but making your system work a bit harder doesn’t necessarily mean the underlying issue was resolved.
Just like anything else, it’ll last longer with proper upkeep.
why wouldnt you do your research first before having a technician drive to your house to provide a quote. just to waste his time your time and his money and mileage on his vehicle and gas including he couldn’t of went to a job that would’ve paid unlike your cheap job.
@@garagedoorgeniushe priced new door for $1400 the door costs 800-1100 and your calling him a scum for making 300 for a whole days worth of work not to mention you need a helper and a truck for transportation. people like these are the ones with un maintenance belongings that are falling apart and they keep repairing rather than solving and replacing.
I spent an hour on other articles of suggestions, cleaned sensors, re aligned them, adjusted weather stripping… everything. And finally I find the useful diagnosis for when it stops without blinking. I am grateful this exists.
Watched a handful of other videos and not one of them mention adjusting the force control. You 100% fixed my issue! Thank you mister! 🙌🙌
You're very welcome! Glad to help. 🙏💯
Thank you, my garage door suddenly decided to stop closing after getting half way down. Adjusted the down force as per your video and now it works perfectly and sounds alot quieter too. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank YOU!!! I had the opposite problem. So I did the force open...and voila....it works! You saved me $70!!! If I called my home warranty, the person who would have come to my house would make it out like he was a magician. You Sir are a "garage door savior"! Thanks again!
You're welcome Ray🙏.
Glad the video helped.
Every other video only talks about sensors! This was my issue and it saved me from calling someone in to get it checked out. Thank you!
Glad to help!
God bless you! Thank you for this awesome tip and your video! Saved us so much money today! Especially during this cold season! It worked like a charm! I also recommend lubing all the roller pins on the door and chain wherever possible! Pulleys etc with WD40! Can’t believe how quiet my garage door opens now!
Blessings to all!
🙏
Ah, I did not know what those two knobs in the garage motor box were until now. My garage door was not closing and my basement was exposed to the winter chill. This force control adjustment did the trick. Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Cold months sometimes you need to turn that force up a bit. Warmer months you can turn it back down.
Excellent video! Direct, to-the-point explanation, and action advice. No gratuitous patter or annoying music. Keep up the good work.
You're welcome 😊!
I really appreciate the 🔥 comment.
THANK YOU! You are a garage door genius!! As another commenter reported, most of the other videos only dealt with the sensors, this was definitely an easy fix.
You're very welcome and thank you for the awesome comment 😎👍🏼!!
You saved me from having to spend anything out of pocket. THANK YOU!!!! Other videos I watched just focused on the sensors. Really easy fix.
CincyNaturalista
Your welcome. And thank you for giving my video a chance!!
I second this. Thank you! *Liked video*
🙏
Oh wow! Our garage doors have not worked for months. We never get time to trouble shoot them. I took a quick look at this video, cleaned the door sensors and now they work! I am ecstatic. Thank you, thank you!
That's awesome!! Easy fix!
Wow. Iam sure this video is the gift that keeps on giving to people who are sharing this same problem … thanks for the advice such a simple fix to months of aggravation. Appreciate it keep up the good work!
Glad to help! 🙏
We just recently purchased a house with a defective Liftmaster. The problem we have is the garage will go up a couple inches or about 3-4ft then it will go back down. I thought it was a sensor issue, also I only came across this video because I was looking for reviews on brand new garage door openers. I think this might be the solution, I will update later after I’ve tried this. Thank you 🙏
Let me know if the video helps. 🙏
ALMOST called the garage repair, after trying all the other “common reasons”. Your solution was clutch! 🙌🏼
🙏🔥
Your video helped solve the problem I was having with my garage door. I made the adjustment for closing the door; adding +1 on the force control after inspecting the rails, wheels, etc. Worked great!
Finally a video that helps, my light was not blinking after just replacing the logic board so with this video I know exactly how to adjust the back. Thank you so much.
👍🏼
Thanks for this video! Realized my issue was with my safety sensors. Butterfly nut came lose and was pointing the sensor at the floor so the door would never close. Re-aimed and tightened it back up, cleaned the lenses, and now it’s working perfectly again!
@@lulzjeffy1337 heck yeah! Awesome comment. Thanks 👍🏼.
Appreciate this. Our lights were not blinking, and I found no sensor obstructions. This fix did the trick for us. Thank you for saving us a service call on New Year's Day.
Thanks for watching! Sometimes all it needs is a little adjustment. Have a great 2019!
Helpful video. I watched 3 other videos that said the same thing and nothing did the trick and then I realized my tortion spring snapped in half. This is the giant spring located inside the garage on the top of the door so look out for that
Thank you for saving me from what no doubt would have been a costly service repair. It worked brilliantly!
You're welcome 😊!
Thank you so much, total life saver. Door would only make it about 1/3rd of the way up then stop, then go back down, changed the open force to 3 and it worked like a champ. Saved me a call to the 24 hour emergency number.
Thank you soooo much! After I replaced my sensors and that fix didn’t work, I found your video and this worked like a charm. It was previously set on 2, so I cranked it bit by bit and my magic number was 6. Now it works all the time, every time. Thanks man!
Awesome bro! 👍🏼💯
Thank you! The left side sensor had been knocked out of alignment. Re-aligned and all is good.
@@HarryReisenleiter heck yeah! Thanks for the comment.
This worked! Thank you! I wanted to scream ‘I am the smartest man alive!’ Like in billy Madison after my garage door closed! But I didn’t want to take credit for the fix - so you are the smartest man alive!
mikeweglian
How cool!
Take credit brother. You did the research, took the initiative, got the job done. Cheers to you!
This comment is freaking AWESOME!
Awesome tip!
My eyes on door were aligned, so never thought of power screw adjustment as a result for my problem, didn't think ,since no adjustments were ever made. Since, blinking light was not occurred, your solution was the answer
Thank you,
Thanks for the comment Vikas! 👍🏼
I had the same problem, after cleaning sensors and tweaking power still not closing so I cleaned the track and relubricated and that did the trick
Thanks. This helped me with my problem of the door not closing. At first I made a little adjustment on the down adjustment and it did nothing. I noticed there were adjustments on the side of my Liftmaster, so I made an adjustment there. It closed hard and reopened so I made another adjustments till it closed gently.
You're very welcome. Hey, great job fixing the issue! I really appreciate the feedback.
Single female here with garage door issues for 2 months… this truly helped.
Such a simple fix. I should have looked into this sooner. No more smashing the button over and over or pulling it down manually after losing the fight.
@LowdownBoy heck yeah!
Same here, this just fixed mine too!
@@jackibishop9231 🙏🏼
Thank you! Programmed the car remote as instructed and the door opened but when pressing the button to close; opener lights flashed and door did not close! Your video stated when the lights flashed the sensor beam may be blocked and sure enough, mine was interrupted with a bike tire. Thanks again!
Glad to help Rick!
I followed your instructions and my garage door is working again. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill to help others like me.
You're welcome and it's my pleasure!
My door wouldn't open or close for some reason, watched your video and upped the juice and presto it works!! Thanks for making the video!
Awesome!
I really appreciate the awesome feedback. 👊🏼
This single mom says “Thank you!” for this video!! I’m selling my house and didn’t want to pay someone to fix the door first :-)
okenforty
You're welcome!
Good luck on the sell!!
Thank you I will try this when I get home today. I have the issue with my light flashing and door coming back up. So I will check the sensors again. Thank you.
@@nakitanewsome2924 you're very welcome!
If the door reverses back open and the lightbulb in the machine flashes 10 times or you hear 10 clicks then it's a misaligned safety sensor. Watch this video to fix that issue.

I really appreciate the comment! 🤗
This is the first video that dealt with my problem. Thank you this was exactly what I needed.
You are very welcome! Glad the video helped. Now go have a good rest of the weekend! 👍🏼
Thank you! After messing with the sensors for 20 minutes I found your video and was done. Not something I wanted to deal with in freezing temps.
🙏 glad to help.
Thanks so much! This was the perfect solution to the problem. I learned that there are two dials. One for the power in the door and the other two are for the distance it moves.
You're very welcome 😊!
Stay safe out there 🙏.
You seriously fixed d my issue in 1 min 30 seconds! I’ve been getting out to close my garage door in bad weather for a year! It took longer to search UA-cam for help 😂
OMG, seriously! Lol I wish you would've found my video sooner.
Thanks for the comment! 👊🏼
My landlord put replace my garage door but left the old motor and I'm having the same issues it won't go up or down so me and my husband have to constantly manually open and shut it so this was good information
Yes, it solved my problem. Weather was too cold and it needed an extra force. Thank you very much!!!

Cold weather will do that.
Nice job!!
Wow! What a simple fix and an end to months of aggravation - well done, and many thanks.

You the man! So easy to solve & without the 20 minutes of buildup. I appreciate you!
Thank you for posting this, you saved me a LOT of trouble. The spring broke on my garage door and it wouldn't move. Having a technician come in to replace the spring and set the torque back to where it was before. Thanks again, you're a big help.

Thank you for sharing I increase the close side a little and door worked just fine.
Thank you so much for posting this you saved my day ❤
Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you very much for the training!
You're welcome 😊!
Thank you for your video. Exact issue and it helped on a very cold and snowy day here in Maryland. Slight adjustment to the "Close force" fixed the issue and saved $$ on the service request.
Glad to help! Stay warm my friend. 👍🏼
Thank you so much.. helped me close my garage door in less than 5 min ....
You're welcome 😊
AWESOME!!! curious i had keep it at 6...is that bad ?
How come it was working good all these years and suddenly it stopped ?
They act like us when we get older. Loose strength... A 6 setting isn't bad at all.
Perfect! Just what I needed to get our door closing again! Much appreciated.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching 😊.
Thank you for helping me fix the garage door opener. It was an easy fix and I appreciate the information.
I appreciate the awesome comment!
Thank you for your help with your video to fix my garage door.
No problem! Glad I was able to help.
Thank you for sharing this troubleshoot video. We found out our garage door was set to the Max setting without knowing. 2:01
You're welcome! 👍🏼
My door goes all the way down stays down for about half a sec and then will start right back up. Would that be a force control issue? Thank you
Lola Larue
You could have the machine closing the door a little to hard.
Yes, turning the down force UP more would probably keep it closed. But you just increased the down pressure. So if in the future the door hits something coming down, it will exert more pressure. So let's hope it's not something of value.
Now you could back off the DOWN limit just a little. That way you don't have to adjust the force control.
I set force controls anywhere from a 3 to a 5. Some older machines you have to turn up with age.
Hope this helps!
Please ask if you have any more questions.
Thank you so much, will give it a try!
This video was so helpful. Thank You! I cleaned both sensors but it still did not work. Found your video and BINGO! Thanks for posting this!!!
Glad you fixed it up! 🙏
Thanks for posting! I will try this tomorrow and get back to you on whether it worked or not. Mind you, we have had a lot of extreme cold weather here in Canada so it may have just been the weather causing the door to seize.
What if the “close door” setting is already on a 9?
How's the door feel manually?
If the door feels good, then the dash pot is wore out or broken. Which means no more force adjustment...
We were able to get it to close normally by pulling down on the red string multiple times. What does this mean? We’ve had this motor for a long time and have had to had it fixed. The open setting is on 9, the close setting is on 7-8.
Sometimes those machines will reach their max settings. If your door doesn't have any resistance going up and down and is fairly easy to operate, you may need to replace the board or the unit.
So I was thinking. Hook up the opener back to the door. Run the door down. When it gets about waist high, grab the bottom of the door and apply some upward resistance. Are you able to stop it or does it continue down? If you're able to stop it with ease, then yes the board needs changed out. Or a new unit. If seems like you can't stop it by applying pressure , then your force controls are good. It's another issue then.
Haven't gone to do the fix yet, as I'm at work. But mine is doing this exact same thing. Thanks for the tip!!
DO NOT EVEN KOW HOW TO EXPLAINE THIS REAL LIFE BUT I ALMOST DIED TYRING TO GET THIS TO WORK
+Jose Carbajal
OMG!! Glad your OK!! Would love to hear your story. Be safe with the garage door stuff. They can be wicked!!
nevermind I was drunk trying to close the door hahaha great vid tho

That happens, lol!!
Thanks bro.
Cheers!!

Garage Door Genius my problem is that the door only goes up and down halfway of the run. it seems as if the bracket needs to be moved back towards the motor. the dials don't make a difference when I turn them 1/4 at a time as I adjust the force control.
yep! worked like charm. Simple 2 minute demo saved me $100 service charge!
Awesomeness 👍
Only one on the internet that explains this with examples thank you, i had the same issues
You're welcome 😊!
Hey hey Richard!! Amy from Alabama!! Excuse my French, but SOB!! I ordered the belt we talked about a couple months ago, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make my repair thanks to your magical video BUT, THE OTHER DOOR TORE UP TONIGHT!!
Oh nooo!! Well that stinks. 😩 What happened to the other door?
@@garagedoorgenius exact same damn thing. Sorry my potty mouth is in overdrive now. So effective immediately we have two broken belts on both doors. I told the lady I lived in Alabama and that she should go ahead and send me two of them because of our heat. I’ve not opened box yet to even look. Quite honestly was waiting on my elderly mother to be away long enough for me to work on this without her worrying I’ll screw it up worse or injure myself. Sadly should my repairs not go well, whoever comes in behind me will hate the job and probably charge me an arm and leg!!
PS. Know it’s not highlight of your life if I get this repair or not but I saved a video (still have to locate) from your channel where you gave explicit directions for even dummies to follow. I’d like to say for a 50 yr old single gal, I’ve got common sense, love tearing electronics apart and can’t see why I can’t give this a swing!! LOL. I don’t officially have a channel but will post a few videos to show what I’m up against, tools I have to work with and any details along the way in case I should succeed, I could pay it forward by helping someone else.
Me and the tension spring about ended up in the ER today.
@@EmmaDee 😱😳! What happened!? Please tell me you're okay! 🙏

Thank you for posting this video. Exactly what I needed to fix my garage door problem. Your explanation was on point.
I really appreciate the feedback! 👍🏼
Cool thanks brother. I’m in out side of Killeen, Tx. Never knew that thanks sir. I’m working on realizing the sensors.
This solved my garage door issue. Thank you
@@PJRizzuti-e5u that's awesome! Thanks for the comment. 😁
THANK YOU. my garage will stop fir no reason no matter how many tines I adjust those damn side sensors! This video is 4 years old hopefully you're still around. Is it bad to constantly use the force control or only when the garage won't cooperate because like twice a week my darn garage door will refuse to close
If your door reverses back open and the light bulb blinks 10 times on the machine that is 100% for sure a safety sensor issue. No force controls required.
However if you're trying to open the door and it just stops or if you're trying to close the door and it just stops, then that is a force control issue.
Also it's wise to work the door manually periodically just to see how it feels by itself. Sometimes a struggling out of shape door will cause those force controls to kick into action. A lot of times some good lubricant will break free bearings and lubricate moving parts. That generally will get your door working good. Sometimes it's a good idea to have a garage door tech come out and just adjust it.
@@garagedoorgenius, thanks for the advice friend, I'll take this to stock
@@shadowman3591 🙏
This is a GREAT explanation - thank you!
I appreciate the awesome feedback 😃! Thanks 👍🏼
Thanks so much I thought about adjusting it but didn’t wanna tear it up! Fixed it

Glad to help! 🙏🤘🏼
My liftmaster p3 security+ 2.0 wasnt closing and I was getting 3 up blinks and 2 down blinks. Error pointed to my travel module. I un-plugged the opener for safety, then took cover off and removed travel module. Took it apart and there are two gears and two "hall sensors" or look-across sensors. I cleaned the hall sensors and small PCB board with electronic cleaner "get at most auto parts store" and used a Air nozzle to dry it. Put it back together and now my door closes and works again! Your opener will have blink codes based on the error it is getting. The best thing to do when its not working is look at the blink codes, go to the manufacturers support website to determine whats wrong. Mine was the travel module and they sell for about $22 but I didnt want to start replacing things without trying to clean mine first. It worked for me. Thought I would share.
Travis, thank you for sharing. Very useful information and descriptive. 💯
Thank you so much. I had to adjust my downforce to 5/6 to get it to stay down. I cycled it about 5 times and was able to confirm it was back to working order.
You're welcome Daniel 😊!
Easy adjustment 💯
Thank you, kind sir. Hope twiddling with the 'Open Force' setting solved the problem. Door would alternately open anywhere from about a foot all the way to 2/3 of the way open. Would always close completely, so I didn't mess with the 'Close Force' setting.
Awesome, my neighbor is a senior and this video helped me fix her door.

@@austinbrace4426 thanks for the comment.
Does the door reverse back open or just stop?
@@garagedoorgenius it just stops
@@austinbrace4426 does the door work up and down manually pretty easy? Resistance could be making it just stop. Are the force controls cranked all the way up?

Hi Garage Genius. Hey man. Thank you for the video. Seems to have solved the issue I had with My Liftmaster garage door opener. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Very much appreciated. You did a great job describing the problem and how to solve it. I love being able to solve these types of issues as a D.I.Y. You're the man! Thanks agan.
I really appreciate the awesome feedback! Thank you. 👍🏼
Good info. It wasn't the force control but the sensor alignment. It pays to watch the whole video.
Thank you John!
Yes it does. Sometimes at the end of the videos are a little golden nugget of information.
Job well done my friend save me a lot of aggravation I was about to get into the board and start checking everything with the multimeter thinking maybe it was a limiter switch 1 easy turn and it cured the problem

What battery are you talking about?
@@garagedoorgenius figured out-back up battery-thanks again and yes will donate couple bucks for the cause stay bless my brother
@@holyddogg7 OMG, thanks for the donation! That's really awesome of you.
Battery backups last 3-5 years. If you hear a constant beeping, then it's time to replace it. FYI, the opener will work just fine if you unplug the battery backup. I tell folks you can replace the battery or just unplug it if you don't want to spend the money on a new one.
Turning the down button worked for me thank you.
You're welcome! Glad it worked.
I am so grateful to you: I was having this problem. I am so mad this guy came out and charged me 900 just for new springs as he said that was the problem. ON top of that I have this really cheap light weight metal door which is only like 8 feet wide by 7 feet high: that is the case for all doors in my community. HE changed my springs and now my door is doing the same thing.
Hey do you have a video that can teach me how to disable my remote control so that my door can't be opened by remote when I go away but rather can only be opened by the code panel or the button on my wall. Sadly my door opener inside the garage is just a lit up press button no digital panel that some people have and can disable their open door with remote feature
You're very welcome. I'm sorry you had a tech do that to you instead of fixing the real issue.
Unfortunately if you don't have a feature on the wall console that disables the remote it can't be done. However, you could always take the battery out of the remote.
@@garagedoorgenius Hey you are so gracious and I am so grateful. I have one last question and am wondering if you have a video for this: I have a liftmaster: I am not sure which model yet: it says P3 on the outside but I have to find a ladder and see if I can find model number: one thing is when I bought the house there is no control panel just the doorbells style opener: can I set my liftmaster into lock mode or vacation mode: without the digital type control panel?
@@RUAGoodNurse thank you for the kind words.
The wall button that you currently have now will not allow you to lock the system. However, the wall button that I just linked will help achieve what you want to accomplish.

@@garagedoorgenius I wonder if you realize what you do for some people? I am a female with no males who are "handle" LOL. You have a gift and you freely share that with people. I have yet to find someone with a ladder to lend me that gets me up to the the motor so I have not been able to open the light cover to get model information. I can only see the outside that says Liftmaster P3 and this place I bought was built around 2018 or so???? the motor looks relatively new. I am somewhat handy do to having to be (lol). I removed the push button just to see what the wiring is like: it's a thin wire one red and one white wire (red I assum is power) but I suspect the back of the new panel will be marked red and white (of course will unplug): do I Have to know the model of my liftmaster before I order this cool panel that you sent to me or is a universal device and and ALL Liftmasteri are able to receive its signal. God bless you!!!!
Yeah! Fixed! I wish not again. Thank you for your video!
Thanks for the comment 🙂.
I wasn't even thinking of the sensors as the reason my door wouldn't close, but your vid led me to the problem even though it wasn't your intention. Someone I won't name set a snow shovel in front of the sensor. LOL Problem fixed, thanks
Question: What causes the problem you were addressing? Lack of lubrication? Something out of alignment? Aged weak motor? All the above?
I'm glad you got something out of the video. I appreciate the positive feedback! 🙏
So the problem like in the video could be from, cold weather, a garage door that operates rough (needs serviced), or just set low from the get go.
However, newer garage door openers that setting is electronically set. The machine learns how much force is needed to push and pull a garage door. 👍🏼
Thank you so much this solved our problem. We did not have to call anyone out and spend money out of our pocket.
You're welcome 😊!
Tough times right now. Every little bit helps! 💯
@@garagedoorgenius
Yes it is I'm very thankful,I found your video.
Just yesterday my air conditioning in my car stop working. Just when summer is about to hit. LOL had to take it to the shop found out it was a gasket for the air conditioning that was leaking. Good news it was still under warranty so no out-of-pocket expenses also a bonus I have a free rental car. Yay
It will be done soon on top of that..yay.
Love it 😍!
Glad it's under warranty for ya. Nobody needs to go without A/C. I live in TX, so I feel ya.
Thank you for saving me from a giant hassle, this fixed my problem!
You're welcome!
When adjusting that setting (up), it's always good to manually operate the door first. See if it goes up and down smoothly. If it's really heavy to lift open and won't stay open, the door needs adjusted then.
If it's smooth running manually, then adjusting the force controls is the fix!
Thanks for watching!
I've been dealing with this for over a year. Manually shutting it myself. Tried adjusting the sensors. I hope it's not something this easy. On my way home to test this.
