Pulling mechansm jammed on 1/2 hp craftsman garage door opener

I have a 1/2 hp Sears / Craftsman garage door opener that is approximately 14 years old. The pulling mechanism which attaches to the garage door moves a couple inches then stops....even with the door not attached. The motor still runs. Motor will not stop until I manually move the mechanism to either end. It seems to be sticking on the track, but I don't know why.

1/2 hp craftsman garage door opener won't open when cold
I called Sears garage door customer service number due to the same issue. The test is to disengage the opener drive by pulling the emergency disengage handle, then open the door half way manually and then let it go. If it stays there it is a door/track/lub problem; if it drops down and closes its a garage door opener problem. Mine stayed open half way during this test so it was a door/track/lub problem. After using silicone spray on all tracks, rollers, and springs mine has been working great. Good luck.........
