[Shop-talk] Garage door opener problem

[Bob Spidell]

Sounds like the gears may be stripped.  Open it up and take a look; you 
should be able to get a repair kit from Sears.

I don't know if weather has anything to do with it but it started a couple of days ago when we experienced snow and the temperature has not risen beyond 50 F. While this unusual for Houston I am sure that the Sears did not make it with warm weather in mind. The opener did work one day when the temperatures had risen and the sun was out. The garage is detached and not insulated.
