Travel Limit Switch Garage Door

The sooner the better as this situation may cause serious safety issues.

Travel limit switch garage door.

Open the garage door and watch it closely as it opens. I ve been told they are cheap on all their models. Once you locate the limit switch take your flat head screwdriver and start turning the knobs. You can adjust them with a few tools.

When the door does not close all the way the limit switch may be responsible. Read the descriptions included with each part to learn if the replacement limit switch and travel module assemblies are compatible with several brands and models or only a few. Step 2 making the adjustments. If your garage door does not close completely or closes and then starts to move up the travel limit switch issue may be the cause.

The contact metals for both the limit switches and light sockets are flimsy and tarnish very easily. Adjusting garage door limit switches can be done easily with a few tools. The limit switch contacts and the light sockets for that matter are made of very cheap materials on my 2003 chamberlain garage door opener. Next test the garage door with the help of another person by opening and closing it.

The limit switches control the travel of the door. When the garage door opens about halfway or 5 feet from the ground and stops the up limit switch needs to be adjusted.
