the garage door opener with a mind of its own…
So. About our garage door opener.
Yes, well, it likes to not stay closed after we hit the clicker to close it. It gets ALL the way closed, the bottom of the door will touch the cement…
And then it will suddenly reverse and start opening again.
Hit clicker, door goes into closing motion again. Bottom of door touches cement. Reverses direction & opens again.
Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat.
If we’re outside in the car waiting to leave, this gets very freaking annoying.
If we’re in the house and this happens, I hit the button on the wall and it may finally decide to behave and STAY down. We take the clickers into the house right now because our garage is still a mess from when we cleared the sides for the termite exterminators, and we are parking our cars outside. So, as soon as we are inside the garage, we use the clicker to close it.
Anyway… I’m beginning to think maybe the batteries in the clickers may be on their last legs, as it doesn’t matter which one we use. The only odd thing is, it seems to happen more often when I use the clicker than when Josh does. Might just be coincidence, but who knows.
Maybe I should pop one of those open and find out what kind of battery they need (we have two of them), and get them replaced, then see if it still happens after that. It has been almost five years since we bought the house, and the garage door opener has been here since then as well… Yeah, maybe I’ll do that today.
