Anybody out there who can fix my door? Seems to be a problem with the main control box

Have you tried switching it off and on again?

I have yeseye. It opened ok then wouldn't go down. I turned the power off waited for a bit, and then turned it back on but nothing happened. I wound it down by hand and switched it off. Then I found the spare remote and tried to open the door and it worked, but wouldn't come down again.

It might have damsged the limit switch in the open position, or it could be a fault in the box.

I've rang the manufacturer but they were less than useless. They gave me two numbers of installers as they don't have a technical department of their own. The first company said they just buy and sell the doors so have no technical knowledge, and the second number doesn't work

I'll have another go with them tomorrow

Is there any sensors that might be blocked or have been knocked off?
 
There could be Barcon, but I'd have to strip off all of the sheet metal casing just to have a look. I'll do it but only if someone who knows the system tells me that that is the problem
 
Thats a fantastic find Centurions. I'll do some checking when I get home. Thanks again
 
I used the fault finding guide as found by Centurions and decided to look at the batteries in the sender unit fixed to the bottom of the door. I checked them with my multimeter and they were showing 3.5v as they should. I put them back in the sender and lo and behold the door worked properly using the remote controls. But it still didn't work using the main control box. Rang Gliderol again and this time they gave me a contact in Rochdale, DR Garage Doors. Spoke to the owner, Dave, and he said the problem would still probably be those batteries and gave me a website to get a good deal for new ones.

I've ordered them and they should be here in a couple of days.

Just want to give a reccomendation to Dave at DR Garage Doors. Helped me with good advice, friendly, and didn't try to get any business out of me with no good reason. If the new batteries don't solve the problem then I'll definitely be contacting him again to do the repair.

Are there batteries in the main control box?
 
Not that I can see. I've had the front off but I could only see the printed circuit board and power supply
