How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Clicking: Clicking noises are often caused by issues with the garage door track being misaligned and in need of an adjustment. It can be hard to visually examine and readjust on your own, so it`s best to consult a garage door professional in this situation.
One of the most common causes of a Craftsman garage door opener not working is overheating. The source of this is usually the door motor or the mechanism. Check the diagnostic LED light. If it`s flashing five times or shows an error code, it`s time to inspect the motor.
If your garage door opener is clicking, it is probably also flashing a light on and off. If this is the case, you have likely locked your opener by mistake. A lot of homeowners will accidentally put their opener into lock mode by sliding a switch or holding a lock button too long on the wall control station.
A garage door that stops and goes back up is usually due to malfunctioning infrared sensors. If there is such an issue, you can see one of the sensor lights blinking. Malfunctioning sensors can be caused by a blockage, dirty eyes, loose wires, or just bad sensors in general.
Press and hold the LEARN button on the garage door opener until the LEARN LED goes out (approximately 6 to 8 seconds). Immediately press and hold the LEARN button again until the LEARN LED goes out. Immediately press and hold the LEARN button a third time until the LEARN LED goes out. You should hear 3 quick beeps.
When you press the wall button or remote control and the garage door operator doesn`t move and the motor just hums or buzzes then that is usually an indication that the capacitor is bad and needs replaced. Make sure you replace the capacitor with the same that is in the opener.
To see if the garage door is locked, have a look at the green LED light on the wall-mounted garage door opener button. This light may be located beneath the plastic button, requiring you to pop the button off with a screwdriver. If the green button is blinking, the garage door is locked.
If your garage door is unlocked and it still won`t budge, you may have to try and open it manually. To do this, you will need to pull the red emergency release cable located overhead the front of the garage door. This should disengage the opener and allow you to lift and close the door by hand.
2 Flashes indicates that the safety sensor wire has shorted or that the black/white wires are reversed which will need to be corrected, 4 Flashes tells us that the safety sensors are misaligned and will need to be realigned so the green light is glowing continuously.
The nuts and bolts have come loose: Loose nuts and bolts will produce a screeching sound when your garage door opens and closes. The hinges and rollers need lubrication: All moving parts of a garage door need lubrication to function. Lubricate your metal garage door pieces until your door is quiet again.

When the door opens it slams into the unit I did adjust it almost all the way out and it still slams
ANSWER : Are you sure you are adjusting the limit controls and not the force controls.. depending on the age of the opener the limits controls are on the side and the force controls are on the back and they are blue. If you are adjusting the limits and nothing is changing you then either have a bad limit rack or circuit board. I just changed out a rack a little bit ago.

I have 2 problems with my Craftsman Garage Door opener:
1. I have a 2 door-garage & 2 remote controls
Both remote controls can open one garage door (since they were originally programmed). They cannot open the other garage door even after following all the steps to reprogram them to the non functional garage door. However, when I point either remote control key to the big black box on top, the yellow light from the box blinks. However, the garage door will not open

2. About the same door: Whenever I close the problematic garage door, the door would immediately go back up as soon as it touches the ground. I have to keep tweaking with the manual switch on the wall to finally get the garage door closed.
What I need to do?
ANSWER : I can’t help you on programming.
If the door goes up as soon as it touches down, it is going too far down.
Locate the adjustment on the box on top. There should be four adjusters:
Door down amount more or less
Door up amount more or less
Force down more or less
Forch up more or less.
Turn the Door down amount toward the “LESS” or “-”
Let me know how you do.
