| Help!
I have an automatic garage door opener that has been stuck in the "UP" position for a couple of months now. The traveler(?) is jammed against a bolt. (I think the bolt is there to protect the unit from going too far up and around the sprocket.) I have a twin unit on the other door that works fine. Details-- Part# 41A4315-6, made 3/93
What can I do to get the opener to reverse direction? Is it even worth it to fix? I can do basic repairs, but nothing too compex/difficult.

| Remove the bolt and you should get the door to close. Once closed locate the 'up limit' control on the side of the motor unit. Using a small screwdriver turn this control 3 or 4 turns in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the side of the cover. Replace the bolt and you should be good to go. |
