Sounds like a broken spring.
Sounds like a broken spring as well!
Or your cables just came off and they need to be put back on, consult a pro when dealing with torsion springs and tension.
My garage door opener bull gear that drives the chain is all chewed up.Have ordered replacement gear. Anyone has any experience with this problem, please send some hint. Thanks.

I fixed my half opening only doors by just giving the track overhead a lite shot of WD-40 thru the red straw! That made the darn thing work like new again! Do Not make adjustments to the up force settings till you try this first. Remember the secret ingredient in WD-40 is fish-oil. Amen
first consult youtube to see if you can do the job
if not hire a pro
at least you know a bit something now and wont be taken for a ride
I have a Craftsman door opener that will close for about a foot then open up.
I pulled the cord to disenagaged the inner trolley from the outer trolley. I then manually close the door
about half way. I turned on the garage door opener switch/remote. The inner trolley rolled to meet and engaged the outer trolley. The door was able to close.
What could be the problem? I have a sectional door. There is no problem opening the door.
