I watched at least 10 other videos looking for a detailed step by step walk through and this is by far the most comprehensive video on this topic.
Great to hear! Of course mine gets buried by YT.
Thank you so much for teaching me how to fix my garage door opener. I've ordered the worm gears linked above, saving me from spending $150 and a lot of work to replace the entire unit.
You're welcome Steve! Be sure to check out my wide range of videos, and share links to my videos with others. Thank you!
That was a good video, I have an older 1/2 HP unit, finally figured out the unit causing it to go too far up and down, figured out how to adjust that before your video but it's always nice to see stuff taken apart. I greased up the chain with some motor oil and the sprocket on top and hit it with WD40. Managed to overheat the motor messing with it but the thermostat works and after cooling it down working great again. The new ones are crazy money so screw that noise.
This video is perfect just perfect you explain everything with very very good detail I appreciate your work.
new subscriber!!!
My garage is going up about halve way then stopping and the same with the down action greased bearings sensors replaced could it be the optical sensor ? What would u suggest
Excellent explaination 👍👍👍
You must have a heavy door as I have had 16 foot door that doesn't require 3/4. It is 18R insulated. Quite difference between 3/4 and 1/2 price point wise. Allot would have to do with your counter system which should be correct according to your horse power. Good info.
Tip when installing a NEW unit lube bearings they come dry, only designed for so many cycles. Also, on old unit with bad bearings and motor internally rubbing, most units even this one, you can turn motor 180 degrees which motor will then work. Bearing will wear on lower portion from gravity, when rotating it will allow motor to work for a while.
Thank you very helpful video

Excellent video I have a 20 year old craftsman and the remotes are the only part that don’t seem to work - the wall unit wired unit is doing fine so it looks like I may have to replace the logic board if I can still find one for that old of a unit
A new logic board should correct the problem.
Your video was very helpful. Thanks

Great Video. I have an older 3/4 Hp craftsman garage door opener that has sporadic closing problems related to the adjustable travel setting. When I adjust the down travel it will work a couple of times and then over travel (down) and trigger the door to reopen. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Worn out gears, or the spring tension on the door isn't correct.
@@electronicsNmore thank you I'll check it out!
Interesting
I have an older 1/2 hp unit. Is there a reason that you know why my door does not STOP when I press the remote a second time (while it's moving up/down)?
Don't buy anything with a Made In China. The first one I got out of California from Gatehouse Supplies blew and smoked two minutes after I installed it. Customer service told me it was not their part that was faulty but I knew better. I ordered one from Related Door Products was made in the USA. Installed and no problem!!! Works like charm!!! Thank you for your help. I am a single female and wanted to try keep from buying a whole new door system from a local dealer. $30.15 with taxes and shipping included and I saved over $500. It's hard being a female in this world. Thank you sir and all the other fine men on youtube helping us single ladies who can't find a good man out there, those who have all been taken.
For us ladies, do your homework and research, research and research and don't be ripped off by these online supply houses if your parts don't work. Some of them are junk and just been sitting around for years deteriorating. As for the door opener companies, they want to make a profit and that's understandable but they didn't even suggest looking at it to replace parts because my Craftsman garage door opener system is older than most. I'm thankful for youtube and the channels that have taught me how to do home maintenance as well as safely on my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And most of all, Thank you Jesus for being there for me and helping with this project. I couldn't have done this
Everything is made in China, Taiwan, or Mexico.
Thanks, your video is very helpful. I have a 1/2hp that doesn’t open, and it doesn’t open. I noticed that it tries to close the door after the door is already closed all the way. So I unscrew the chain and put the trolley all the way to the open position, it just keep going “down” and never go up. Even after I adjust the limit and force, no change. Any idea what could be broken?
Take the chain off completely and see if the unit reaches a point when the motor stops. Either a faulty limit switch or faulty control board.
We have the same unit. Sometimes you have to hold the button on the wall until it is completely closed to make it close. When using the remotes, sometimes they will close the door but most of the time they won't. It will start to close but stop quickly and the lights on the unit blink a few times and then nothing happens.
Have you checked the 2 sensors? Usually it’s a simple alignment issue, as mine does this all the time and gets pumped. There if you look at the sensors, there should always be an orange light. If you play with the sensors, that light will turn green once they are lined up. If that doesn’t fix the issue, Clint how many times the orange light, located on the side of your garage door motor blinks when you attempt to close it. It’ll blink in between 1-4 times. You can then good whether there’s a short, an alignment issue etc. good luck
I have a 1/2 unit, what causes of the garage opener light not turning off? Do I need to replace the board?
One sensor has a yellow light and seems to be the problem. Do you cover sensors in another video?
Excellent video.....My Craftsman opener seems to have a short. It will get halfway up and then the light goes off no power. I hit the opener with a yardstick and the light comes back on. Had the cover off looked inside can't see any loose wires. Checked all wires from the wall switch and sensors they are OK. Any thoughts on this. I installed the unit 10 years ago . Chain drive.
Could be bad contacts inside one of the relays.
@@electronicsNmore Thanks for your response I am sure you are correct bad sensors on one of the relays. I am at a point were I am just going to replace the opener. I can get the same Craftsman on Amazon. Only difference is this one has Wi-Fi. When I looked inside the unit everything looked brand new but then again I really don't know what to look for.
Is there a switch on the side of the wall panel?
Im having a problem with my owner. The issue seems like there is no power to the motor no power to the sensors at the base of the door nor power to the main opener on the wall.
But plug thats it plugged into on the wall has good power. Any suggestions?
Nice video, I have a Craftsman 1/2hp and the door opens and closes by it self! Even 15 minutes after it was fully closed... Its 11 years old... Maybe the logic board? Any suggestions?
Either a faulty board, or someone is playing remote control games.
My craftsman 315 door opener has power to all areas wall button and sensors. However it will not work. Nothing blocking sensors and no flashing error codes anywhere. What could be my problem?
Are the capacitors polarized? Terminals need to go in exact same positions? I’ve noticed the terminals aren’t labeled on the capacitors
No. AC non-polar.

Another Great Video! I always share your Videos on my SM Accounts & tell everyone Your Channel is the Best.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👍
Juanita Martinez Glad you enjoy it!
I have 1/2hp and I’ve replaced the sensors. The up arrow blinks 1x & down arrow blinks 5x. Garage opener still not wanting to open or close. This happened shortly after i replaced the broken chain. The motor dose make a humming noise 1x. What can it be?
Great video, however, in my case the entire unit acts like there is no power. The light on the wall switch is out, but the only life are the lights on the door sensors. I get no response from either remote. So, as a last resort, I gave the unit a nice punch to the lower part of the unit between the white light covers. Suddenly, the light came on , the light on the door switch came on and now the door operates normal. A few minutes later all is dead again until I hit the lower flat side of the unit. Any ideas what could be loose? My next step is to remove the covers and check for a loose connection. Thanks again for a great video.
Sounds like a loose connection to me.
Did you get the loose connection figured out. I have same issue and I could not see where the connection was loose. After opening all screws it just worked again and I could not see the loose connection
@@pavan4others You might check out the video from AdamDIY and his video on board repair.
I have a Chamberlin unit 1/2 hp chain drive- about 20 years old. the motor and windings look good but the chain is jammed with the door in the down position. and just humms.
this opener has a chain and cable system. the chain is now loose but the cable is so tight it is slightly bending the tubing. how can i release it to get it working again?..the trolley is already disconnected, and the chain tightening bolt has been loosened but the cable side of the chain is super tight. How do i loosen the cable ? to unjam keeping the door in the closed position>>??
Thank you.
Lord Bless

I had two lightning strikes last night and my Garage door opener and Elliptical that both were plugged in to that circuit do not work. WOuld you assume its the power supply in the Craftsman 1/4 and is it worth replacing?
Probably cooked the power board.
I have an intermittent problem. Light goes off on the button and when I hit the bottom of the motor it turns on then the door only goes so far and stops. Stops in different areas. I think it’s due to the vibration cause when it’s not connected to the garage door it works ok.
I have a craftsman 1/2 hp opener. When I pair my universal remotes the light on the opener will flash three times. To me this indicates that remote is communicating with the opener just fine, however the door will only operate about every 50 button presses...
Can you help me?
Hi Zac. The opener light should flash once after pressing the learn button when programming. Likely an issue with the universal remotes. Thanks for watching!
My Sears Craftsman garage door opener works great--problem is that my remote car starter is opening/closing my garage door..... I tried programming a new remote to the door opener but the learn button on the back just stays red when I push and hold it....any advice?
You need to make sure the remote is fully compatible with your model garage door opener. Thanks for watching!
Sensor lights were lit. One click sound from the motor box each time button was pressed but no action. Unplugged and replugged the box and everything started to work as normal.
Great to hear!
One of the terminal on the motor for the wall unit is broken. how can I replace it
How do U get the signal to program this garage door to my car remote but u loose the remote?? And is for this particular unit, same exact one....pls, thnx!!
I had no problem adding new remotes. You shouldn't lose other remotes that were set.
I have this exact same Craftsman garage door equipment. However, the light is remains on and not turning off? Usually it senses when I step into the garage and light comes on. If stuck on before, I could press the light button and it turn off then back on...and goes off in minutes. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Try disconnecting the wires to the multi function control on the wall with the light switch button. Unplug the garage door opener first. If the light no longer stays on, replace the control, if it still remains on, then the logic board is likely faulty. Thanks for watching!
My 3/4 HP Craftsman opener doesn't have as much power to open my very heavy door. I turned the open force up to max 2 years ago and it worked fine for nearly 2 years. There is no more adjustment to go stronger. I sometimes have to help open the door. What could the root cause be? thanks
Torsion springs not properly adjusted on the garage door.
@@electronicsNmore My door is solid wood and has the old style springs that run on the top of both rails. Is there adjustment to them?
If you can't open the door fairly easily, and the door falls down quickly if you try opening it by hand 2-3 feet and let got, then the springs aren't set correctly.
Our door opener works fine with the wall control panel. And the wall control panel doesn't have a lock button However when I try to use the learn button program the remote, nothing happened. The garage door opener was connected with our car. Since I hold the learn button too long. The car connection had been erased too. The remote was the original one and works fine before I let my friend trying on his garage door opener. What can be the problem? thanks!
On the garage door opener there are usually step by step instructions on how to reprogram. Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore , thanks for your reply! I did but didn't work. Because I hold the learn Button too long, I erased all connections (with the existing remote and my car), however, I can't reconnect them. The garage door opener model is 139.18856 with a green Learn Button.
Are you an engineer? If not or if so what do u do exactly
De ath No, not an engineer, just a smart guy with many skills. :-) Thanks for watching!
I have a Craftsman gdo 139.53965srt that's giving me a 5 flash code in the back of the unit. Unit does not go up or down. Can u advise?
Codes can be found online using google search. Thanks for watching!
electronicsNmore
Code tells me motor is overheating. Is it worth it repairing motor since they r not available anymore or just replace gdo?
My garage door will open but won't close. As it starts to close it stops and the light blinks, I have checked the sensors and everything seems to be in order. The door controller light keeps blinking as well.
Misaligned sensors.
Where can I buy a control board?
Should be links posted in the video description area.
If the garage door opener train spreader flies up then it will be replaced by a new one
I have a 3/4 hp craftsman and my problem is when you open or close it with all remotes sometimes it would open about 2 feet and stop. have to push remote one or two times again to continue to open or shut. It doesn't happen all the time What can I do
You need to increase the up force, or adjust the door spring.
Thank you I’ll give it a try
Necesito explication en espaňol
Si conoces a una persona que habla inglés y español, puede enviar un archivo de subtítulos (.srt), y lo añadiré al vídeo. Gracias
The gears spin but the door does not move.
Either the trolley isn't engaged, or all the teeth on the plastic gears are gone.
@@electronicsNmore the trolley is engaged. Is there a gear I can replace at the top to engage the chain?

Changing the Board is Not a repair. Why you dont fix the Board
wingmaster012 LOL. If only one day could go by without someone posting a stupid comment. That's a near impossibility on RUclips.
wingmaster012 I used to repair electronic boards. The average person watching these couldn't repair the main board on a component level, especially if a multi pin semiconductor had to be replaced. That requires a special skillset.
Thanks for your excellent video!
I did do a basic board repair. I found a loose solder point probably from vibration. Quick solder and fixed!
