My power went out last night and now my garage door only opens about 85% of the way and automatically goes up when it touches the ground, any idea how to reset it.

Okay...upon further inspection, my left spring has broken in two. Going to call around for some quotes to replace the spring. Thanks for the suggestions.

SOURCE: After opening, my automatic garage door creeps back down a bit

There is a sensitivity switch for both directions, open and close. If you access the garage door opener in the ceiling, you will see two adjustment screws for calibrating these. I would highly recommend following the instructions in your manual, as these are life safety adjustments! Your sensitivity for closing the door is adjusted to the positive. You just need to back it off a little. Place a 2x4 on the floor of the garage where the door comes down. and when the door hits the 2x4, it should automatically come back up. If not, you adjusted it too far. Hope this helps. and remember, check the manual for your specific adjustment procedures.

Our door didn't go down completely last night. Unplugged and replugged. It closed after that. However it also closed randomly when we went to back our cars out. Any idea if this is something going bad...

Could be the logic board is going out. Also check all of the garage door opener remotes and make sure that is not the cause. Some people will keep and extra remote in a drawer and something will touch it and activate the garage door opener. Or sometimes people keep the remote in the drink holder in a vehicle and that will activate the garage door opener.

The garage door seems to pick up speed the last two feet when closing then it automatically goes back up

Sounds like a spring tension problem. Best toi call a professional as retensioning the springs can be a source of serious personal injury.

I lost power last night due to a storm, I have power however my garage door will not open or close. The motor runs, however it is not grabbing. any ideas on how to fix???

Did you have to pull the emergency release and not return this into position. Pull the cord and move it until it clicks into position. Run the door and it should lock into place. If it does not reach this point. run the door to the open position and push the door back until it locks into the release.

The door was working fine for 8 years, last week it went down to about 2 inches from the floor, then went back up. No obstructions. I the started to adjust the chain...bad idea. Now in is inconsistant...

If this is a wood garage door (as opposed to steel), the problem may be that the door has become heavier. It might even be sagging enough to interfere with smooth operation. The added weight could be from being recently painted or the paint finish has gotten to the point where it's not sealing the wood anymore, so it's soaked up the summer humidity. Call an overhead garage door service company to take a look at it. They can probably make the adjustments to get it working. Then you might want to wait until a couple of weeks of dryer weather in the fall before you repaint the door.

It sure sounds like you have a light bulb that is generating a radio signal that interferes with the receiver in that one opener. Remove the bulbs and try. As strange as it sounds it can happen.
