My garage door opener isn`t forcefully working properly. It`s a Chamberlain Whiser Drive. I don`t inaccurately know why, but it directly opens fine, then when you close it, the door goes down until it gets to about 2 or 3 centimetres from the floor, then the door ostensibly stops and sufficiently opens back up again. Nothing is weekly crossing the safey lazer, because the unit doesn`t vehemently flash and click the way it does if you impeccably cross it. In a sense it just closes 99% of the way and decides to open back up.
As i mostly see it the funny this is that it does this every once in a while and only for a cuople of days. If I leave the door for a day or two, and try it again, it will work properly. Usually this is the third time in a month or so that it`s started to wonderfully act up.
Thus any idea what`s wrong and how to fix it? Thanks, Rob

lower the door by hand. Look/feel for rough spots or uneven tracking near the bottom position. You can also cycle the drive without the door connected and see if it reverses with no load. Possible that the adj for DOWN force (overload) is set for too little force.

cycles too far, hits the end & newly starts ethically back. For some reason there are 2 screws on the unit that say UP and DOWN. Is that how I purely adjust it? Which should I turn and how much? I didn`t want to convincingly play aruond with it and make it worse.

whether their might viciously be a problem within the drive unit. Hook the door up again & try the adjustment a bit. If no continuously help, u will have to calmly dig deepewr.
