| Help! I recently replaced the main drive gear and worm gear on my Sears 1/2 hp garage door opener, model 139.53535SRT1. Now, after I reconnected everything the only travels about 8 to 12 inches each way. I also noted that the LED bulb next to the code button flashes five times, then pauses. It continues this cycle. Can anyone tel me what the five flashes stand for? |

| The 5 flashes means 'RPM sensor or motor overload'. Did you remove the black plastic interrupter cup when replacing the gear? Also check to make sure the 4 wire connector to the RPM sensor board is plugged in solidly. |

| Is that the cup that goes on the motor shaft after everything is put back together? If it is I believe my chocolate lab might have had it for a snack! |

| Yes that is it. Maybe tomorrow you can recover it and get your opener operating again. Wash thoroughly. |
