You asked. How do you RE-engage a garage door opener?!




























































Kick it

Hiya Harry....Well I did hit the button and the chain moved along the track but without the door! I stopped it though and hit it again and let it return to starting position.


Mark, Yeah I pulled the chord earlier today to get my car out. Now I want to reengage it to the auto opener. Right now I just lift it manually.

If you opened it manually, make sure it is all the way open. it has to make that set of contacts. Then unplug it and wait a few minutes and plug it back in, this should reset the sensors

Mike! All you men are such a helpful group! Really!

UNPLUG it???

Put the thingy a ma bopper in the thingy ma jig. Then put the dooley whopper in that thingy and then it will be fixed. That's also how I learned about sex by the way.

just slide that part with the pull string back to its original position it should lock in place

Hey! Me too!

Yes, unless it is hard wired in, then you will have to turn off the breaker for a few and turn it back on.

Okay thanks all. I will go try to slide the thingamajig, unplug it, open it, hit the button to latch up all on it's own, reset the sensors, kick it, look for the manual, make and model # and if all of that fails, I'll throw beer cans at it.. Have I got it now???

I think so

Cool! It's like having a bunch of big brothers! Thanks!


I'LL BE BACK!

lol, rotsa ruck there kiddo!

Just hit the button and let it run right to the end. If it doesn't latch, open the door and put a block of wood or something underneath to get it a couple inches off the ground.

Had the same problem and couldnt figure it out for NOTHING...made my grandpa come over ...i told him what i did , which is exactly what YOU did.. he walked over pulled the cord again and poof it worked again....

I just drive my van throght the door...

Thanks Kristi!!! I did do that and did have to give it a jerk but it never reconnected. I'll work some more with it.


And Twin...I am NOT driving my new car thru that garage door!

That same cord you pulled to disengage, you need to pull away from the door, and in an upward motion... Pull straight back, in horizontal position... The cord that is...

Thanks...I'll try that AGAIN! Hard to pull that sucker!
