I have a genie screw type garage-door opener. the fuse blew on the moter drive board , now the door only opens when you push the light button on the wall console ,will not go closed.green light blinks continually. when I power it up it jumps closed then nothing. It seems like the motor is not reversing
If the motor is jumping in the closed position then something is likely causing a safety stop. The two reasons most commonly are that something is blocking the sensor or the torque is too high. As the door will open Torque is not the probable cause. It is likely something in the protective door block circuit preventing it from going closed. If you press and hold the close button will the door close momentarily? If so then there is definitely something telling it that it is not safe for it to close. If neither of those Solutions work then you probably have a circuit failure which was the cause of the fuse failure in which case the solution is to replace the genie.
