Remote and garage door opener not communicating.
You may need to replace the battery in the remote control. Most usually these will be double A ones. You may have to reprogram it when you try it again. You should be able to get the information on Google by typing in the make of the inside unit in your garage. Your remote may have this info on it as well. You should be able to pull up instruction on how to reprogram your unit.
Garage door won't go down all the way and then reverses to open
Check that the wheels and bearings are turning freely and that the door is not cocking to one side when closing. If the wheels are catching because of bad bearings, because the tracks are out of true or because the door is not staying straight in the tracks, the motor thinks that the door is hitting a car or a person and reverses. One thing to try: disengage the motor and try moving the door through the full traverse. Most automatic doors have a pull-cord that disengages the door from the motor. CAUTION: You may need a friend to help with the door, because it could be surprisingly heavy,.
The motor squeaks both on the up and down modes.
I just installed this opener 1 week ago and the same thing happened. I remembered there is a "Belt Cap Retainer" that covers the motor sprocket and is held on with 2 screws. I removed the cover and the squeaking stopped. There is a small dab of grease (silicone?) that the instructions did not mention. I spread the grease around the cover next to were the belt travels and put the cover back on careful not to over tighten the screws. No more squeak!
Chamberlain garage door travel programming
Seems like you either have your photo cells out of alignment or disconnect from operator or a short in the photo cells wires.... make sure the you can see the green LED light on one and a amber/red on the other at the same time with no flashing or flickering. The green represents power supply to units and other color represents alignment, both are a must! so make sure you see them on solid without blinking or flickering.
