Garage door stalls
WHEN THE CODE IS ENTERED TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR MAKES A LOT OF STALLING NOISES AS IT ATEMPTS TO OPEN AND TRAVELS JERKINGLY FOR ABOUT 12 INCHES AND THEN STOPS. IF I PUSH THE OPENER AGAIN IT GOES DOWN AND UP AGAIN AND OPENS ALL THE WAY. WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

The mechanical bearings and gears need some lubricants to smoothen the rotation. Try to apply some on the roller paths and joints
Dear Sir/madam,
Spring has broken. you need to replace them in pairs. if you have safety cables the carcass should be suspended upon it. Occasionally spring is ok and cable is found to be broken, again replace broken item in pairs as the other cable is likely worn equally.
thanks
good luck
I am trying to figure out how to reprogram the code on my craftsman keyless entry pad model number 139.53876.
Re enter the code properly and see .check the tension of the springs.
Check the sensors in the doorway. They need to be pointed at one another. Each of them has a small light that is lit when they are aligned properly.
pls do rate the solution
thanks.
regards.

If the door makes noise there is either an obstruction or the gear are stuck, this is not a control problem.
Try closing the door all the way throught and opening back a couple of times.
Check that there is nothing obstructing the door in its path, fo example a small stone stuck in the hinge arms.
If you do not find anything visible you will need to take apart door opening system and find where it is mechanically obstructed.
If you need a technician you can call the number listed on Liftmaster owner manual.
Grease and dust mixed inside the gate gears return same problem sometimes, usually, when you cannot find a simple soution you need to hook out pinion gears from the gate, and check out if door alone is moving, or if it is a problem with motor and geards getting stuck.
If the unit is less than one here old it is covered with factory guaranty.
