Now i m having and issue where the garage only opens a couple inches and then closes a couple of inches and stops. I just changed out the gears with a replacement kit from amazon. The door appears to get hung up on something or a sensor seems to be telling the door not to close.

Oddly enough it seems to follow a sequence every 3rd push of button it seems ot move the most about 1 foot the green led blinks 4 times.
