Thank you so much for this fantasic video! I was able to fix my ~25 year old Craftsman garage door opener exactly as you described. (The old 330uF measured about 90uF on my meter, and was not bulging.)

Thanks for sharing. My Chamberlain liftmaster is working fine again

The old error code 21! I tried to get by without using it! about 10 seconds for the bike to realize it didn't have one!

The two stage lift mechanism is clever. If you *don't* do it that way, you are locked into having a very strong lifting mechanism (like hydraulic) to overcome the poor leverage in the down position, AND you have to have a much heavier and stronger frame to withstand the forces of that very strong lifting mechanism.

Great idea. I'm trying to come up with an idea for a 5.5ish tall gate, 10' wide. Due to space, I'd like the option to lift a 2-3 foot section out.

I think I'll explore fitting a three piece crank. I have a new Schwinn Sanctuary 7. I'm also trying to keep the weight down. .

Felicidades muy buen trabajo 👍 100 puntos Saludos desde Bolivia

Awesome fix; great job! Do you or anyone know how I can change the direction of the opener? I've got no space as well so I set it up as a "side mount" with sprockets & a chain but 'up is down' & 'down is up.' I don't have space on the other side so looking to see how I can change the rotation of the motor/sprocket. Thanks to anyone with any tips!

Wow, those cicadas were so loud 😮 Still getting used to them since I moved to Indiana I’ve been here a year and man the cicadas got loud in the summer, not used to it yet Since I’m originally from Oregon I’m pretty sure Oregon doesn’t have cicadas Neither did Colorado when I was living there for two years before moving to Indiana I seriously love this idea. I wanna do this for my cat at my apartment and since I got permission to do something like this, I’m gonna see if anyone can help me with this.

Wow! Such an excellent video explanation! My ‘04 Liftmaster 2500B has this same issue. After watching many hours of YT videos discussing weak solder points, I was ready to attempt repairs, but fortunately for me, I ran into your video first as I really want to get this right on my first try. So before I pull out the board, I want to be prepared for both scenarios, that’s why I also watched your video on testing capacitors. More great info there! I’ll use your link to buy the assortment pack of capacitors just to have on hand. Thank you for the information 😊 Subbed!

I tried that idea last year but the small lawn mower wheels I used would ride up on the snow lifting the front of the blower up and leave too much behind. Smaller roller blade wheels would probably cut thru the snow better being they are narrow, like wheels from a roller blade.

Why you no drive it?

Thanks for the info please send updates when you can.

Thank you. Same problem. I couldn't measure the large electrolytic capacitor, so I just replaced it. Back to fully functioning with all my remotes with the light off or on. I have put new life into a 1998 garage door opener.

:) this reminds me of the quote "he loves me to the point of invention". It has made my day better to know you built this for your cat and that so many people in the comments are in the process of creating fun spaces for their cats too.

This is what makes YT so great. Removed the capacitor, found a 330uf 200V cap from an old PC power supply, much bigger but it's a ripple filter cap so no big deal. Had to cut some plastic cover away for it to fit. Working like a charm. Didn't even have to remove the circuit board. Did hanging from the wiring. Awesome! Thanks a million.

How fast it is

I can see the happinnes on ur face

I need someone to show us step by step great idea tho

Excellent idea, I will copy it for a school assignment, by chance you have the measurements...? Greetings from Monterrey, mexico!!!

My opener was working slow. I unplugged it, still slow on battery backup. I unplugged the battery and plugged the opener back in, nothing. Then i plugged the battery back in, now thats not either either. The wall button doesnt even light up anymore. I know theres power to the outlet and the issue is with the opener but why would it act like theres no power? Its only 3 months old

This was exactly my problem on a 20 year old Craftsman. I have been going crazy trying all sorts of things to avoid replacing the board ($135) or the entire opener. Found the capacitor on Amazon for a few bucks. It worked! Thanks!!

How much does it can carry

This is the only that was helpful 👍

Someone else provided the same information on RUclips in a one minute video. Yes, this "fix" can work, but there is no guarantee this is the problem. I performed this "fix" on TWO operators and neither worked. .

How do I measure or test the capacitors in circuit ? Not sure what the procedure is ? I power up the board and measure the voltage ? Thx

How did u create a gas pedal with the lawn mower motor? I want to do this with my old lawnmower. I’d just like to know how you was able to connect a gas pedal, and how the motor would stay on without putting pressure down on the cable

Pretty bitchin!

Не понимаю зачем два домкрата. Достаточно одного горизонтального. Не, человек сделал стоящую вещь- респект! Но делая подъемник для легких мотоциклов и мопедов типа хонда дио, буду устанавливать только в горизонтальной плоскости. Ну или два спаренных но опять таки в горизонт.

It would be much more stable with three wheels.

Очень интересно, думаю о таком варианте.

I did this much easier by buying a larger diameter PAS on a Huffy (one piece crank) ruclips.net/video/VBnZiKGxFhs/видео.htmlsi=NScmqEC-5XK_4v8D

Hey Chuck what OEM paint did you use I'm trying to match colors i can't seem to find the right one

I did this and that didn't work

Thanks, it helps me too much

ah, i didn't think of that.. i cable tied the bracket on the outside of the frame, not using the sticky part.

thank you for sharing this excellent insight and walkthrough. i have a 3800pld with purple learn button door opener and a 398lm wall control panel where the motion detector light on/off control stopped working, as in it would turn light on and leave it on. i purchased latest 889lmmc wall control panel having been told the wall control panel motion detection sensor must be broken and the new wall control panel not only doesn't work it makes a constant buzz sound. someone in a reddit forum exchange said issue with new wall control panel, and perhaps the existing ones motion detection, is the logic board and to replace it. replacing the capacitor(s) sounds like a better first thing to try given what you stated here and fact that everything else about door opener and original wall control panel is working fine.

was it originally rwd? mine is fwd and i want to do something similar to this

'' SERIOUS QUALITY '' ...yup, no doubt. ALOT of those drill ' bits ' coming from china, those yellow ones, AREN'T WORTH A plug penny ! Don't even make very good awls, or punches - only good for pounding into a wall ; use for hanging hoses. Cheapest ' steel ' ever...chinesejunk. I use very old, GOOD drilling bits - all black ! or titanium, or carbide tipped.

Good idea same problem for me will try this idea. 😊

I cried this and made a video. I failed at my mostly because of the hill in my driveway and the weakness of my handlebars. Mine probably would have moved his boat just fine, but my camper was just too heavy. ruclips.net/video/7TGVYzbKzxo/видео.html

Thank you for that great idea! That's what I'll have to do with my older Huffy mountain bike.

Thanks, and God bless you!

So I have been using something similar but with roundish deck wheels. The problem is the resistance the wheels add when going through snow. In a light snow they are fine, but in deep snow it becomes a wrestling match.

Thank you Chuck. It's been a minute since I've used a soldering iron but here I am with an operational garage door unit and about $120 still in my pockect. Total repair was $8.00 and 20 minutes from start to finish..

the way you made the mark for the first hole was smart. I made it much more difficult...nice job!

This was really helpful to see the basic structure. I know it’s not a full DIY but my window needs are different (mine is vertical, I need a cat cat door, etc) so I’ll have to make my own adjustments anyhow. This was great to start with some ideas for mine. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. Your instructions as to what was happening when the light was on was vary informative. I followed your directions to repair it and it now works great. Thanks again.

I am going to do this! Thanks so much for posting. I like how you bolted it in re maintenance as well. I have a 5x10 Enclosed Aluminum trailer so this should just great! I’m embarrassed to say it but I live on a crazy busy street with an equally narrow driveway! I might try this for getting in the driveway!
