My power was off today and I had to pull the chord and disengage it to get my car out. Now...I can't figure out how to RE-engage the thing. Anybody care to try to walk me thru this??

look for the manual with the remote and see if there is anything about resetting the sensor

I don't know that there is a manual. It was installed by the builder when we bought this house.

Look for the make and model # usually located on the side of the unit attached to the ceiling,, and Google it,, they should have a manuel you can download

I don't know what kind you have. there should be a reset switch, but you'll have to climb a stepladder to find it. It shoud be on the side of the motor. either a white lever or a red button. thats about all I can say without seeing it. I hope this helps

I tried pushing it up but nothing happened. That bar is no longer straight, like it is engaged. Thanks

Hi Connie Just hit the button. It'll latch up all on it's own.

Do you mean you opened the door manually with the pull chain?
