Craftsman opener LED blinking 5 times
Comments (1)Lightning does the darndest things. I would check the logic board for burnt or missing traces on the P.C. board. If there aren't any obvious causes I would opt for a new opener....See MoreGarage opener: 3 screws, 4 clicks and 5 blinks
Comments (5)Those up and down screws are not going to help your situation. The down limit ( or screw ) should be making contact the the center screw as you call it and the up should be no where near the center screw b/c the door opener is in the down position. The 5 blinks means rpm sensor failure. In other words the motor is locked up or the trolly is stuck on something or you have a bad relay in the circuit board. #1 Disconnect the door from the opener and see if you can open it manually. If you cannot, you have a door problem, probably a broken spring and need to have that fixed. The opener should still be making some sort of effort to lift the door though. #2 With the door disconnected from the opener try hitting the opener button and see if anything changes. #3 If nothing changed with the door disconnected then take off the chain and hit the wall button if the motor runs with the chain disconnected then the trolley was stuck on something. Free the trolley and hook it back up and set the limits. If the motor still just clicks then it is locked up or you have a bad relay in the circuit board and the circuit board needs replaced. Unfortunately I don't have a sure fire way to test and see which one it is ( maybe Don does ) but, I will tell you I have saw the relay go bad more often than I have saw the motor being locked up....See MoreCraftsman garage door opener will not close
Comments (1)Try checking the over current device on the motor, probably a red button. Press it and if it clicks you probably are back in business....See MoreCraftsman Garage Door Opener
Comments (11)ellen there is generally one of two causes for this. One is the door hits the floor and reverses. If this is the cause you will find a control on the side of the motor unit called the 'down limit.' Turn this in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the cover. The other cause is the sensors in the doorway. They must be pointed at one another to work properly. They sometimes get bumped out of alignment. If this is the problem you can just tweak them and get them back in alignment. Hope this helps....See MoreAmy
