Garage Door Limit Switch Issue

15 years ago

I have a Chamberlain 4100 1/2 horse Garage Door Opener. Recently my opener would not operate and after inspection I saw that the worm and drive gear were shredded. I was able to replace the gears after reading many of the posts in this forum. After reconnecting everything the limit switch will try and travel past the contacts in both directions however.

I labeled all the wires before I began, so I believe they are all in the correct places again

I have checked that the brown, yellow and grey wires on the limit switch are secured

Any more ideas on what I can check? Is it possible my gears shredded because of a bad limit switch or logic board?

If I replace my opener with a new very simular opener from Chamberlain can I simply hook it up to my existing chain and bar etc..? Or do I need to replace everything?

Thanks,

scoutman
