Your opener is very old and only the common parts such as nuts, bolt and screws are available. The limits are controlled by micro switches. It is quite likely the switch that stops the motor in the down direction is bad. You can remove the cover from the motor unit and check this but I strongly advise that you first unplug the opener as the motor will start if you move these switches.

This sounds like a problem with the limit switches on the opener. You can unplug the opener from the wall plug and access the switches to see if one is damaged or if the wiring to them has broken. Due to the age of this machine you will likely have problems finding parts for it as most of them are no longer in production.

Thank you for using Manage My Life!

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
