I had a business fixing garage doors. Fixed all different types of issues… This happened to me when I purchased my own home… didn’t have a clue why the opener was misbehaving. Due to the home being new and came with a warranty I had the techs out for the repair. Pretended I could of done it on my own but the truth is I was baffled. Lesson learnt.
Haha thats a cute and funny story :) glad you got it !!! This comment wins in my book!
To be precise, Liftmaster Arrow Codes "3 Up then 2 Down" means 'UNABLE TO SET THE TRAVEL OR RETAIN THE POSITION", and the fix is "CHECK THE TRAVEL MODULE FOR PROPER ASSEMBLY AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY". If encountered, first clear then reset the limits. If still a problem them visual, push, and tug on the assembly, THEN IF NEEDED - replace the Travel Module.
Thank you for this video!!! Our model is only 3 years old. Travel module needs replacing. Good Lord......
So glad the video helped ! I'm happy to hear it solved the concern !
My neighbor's had the 4-1 code and problem was the travel module in his Chamberlain MyQ unit. I just took it off the opener and opened the module by disengaging the tabs on the sides with a flat screwdriver, removing the 2 gears, and sprayed the oil inside with brake fluid and cleaning as fast as possible since I didn't have electronic cleaner spray. I reinstalled the gears and closed it back and voila. I reinstalled it and it worked again. Inside the travel module you'll find the so called RPM gear and sensor you could find in other older models but out in the open. It seems the oil messes up the sensor when reading the RPMs and the garage door can't recognize the closing/opening and/or the force to open/close adjustment. His door opened al the wayy but when closing was only moving 1 or 2 feet and opening back again. Try to save some money and clean it first.
3 years later and this video still helpful. Thanks
So happy to hear and I’m more than happy that it can still provide help for people today !
Thank you for the step by step instructions. I have the exact same unit. I had no clue what broke or how to fix it. I took the cover off, unplugged the harness and removed the defective part. I ordered the replacement part and it indeed snapped right in. Works perfectly now. By the way 5 1/2 years on that module. That is just ridiculous!
Thanks Larry ! Glad it helped and was an easy fix also ! And yea it’s sad and true, they don’t last long !
This vid was a lifesaver for me. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.
Flashing led light on mine was:
4 - up
1 - down
Glad it helped !
Thanks for the specific help with this issue. Mine lasted a year only because I over oiled the chain and track too close to the holes in the top of the unit case. LiftMaster/Chamberlain did warranty the travel module for me after an hour and a half on the phone troubleshooting.
Glad to help!
This is exactly what happened to mine. Hoping that the new one I ordered will fix the problem too.
@@TheGaber3al - did it fix the problem for you?
@@MichaelFlare yup, works great now. When I first replaced it I had intermittent issues still, I checked the connections for the sensors at the bottom of the door and that totally fixed it though. Just had to retighten the wire nuts a bit and swept away some cobwebs.
It can happen due to broken spring. If you have two car garage and Wayne Dalton spring system then ine if them can be broken thus putting force on travel module. You can check spring by disconnecting the trolley and manually opening the door, with working springs it should stop at almost any position. With one broken spring and one working Liftmaster still can open the door with manual adjuatment but will have issues on closing. So you should check springs too.
The error code is usually 4-1
I live in las Vegas NV and my garage gets to be 110* or hotter in the summer because it faces the west and the sun beats down from 12:00 noon till 7:00 pm .And even though my door is insulated and attic as well. It has a tendency to cook electronics .And control boards .My travel module went out after six years .
Thanks for video man my motor went bad and after replacing every part but the motor and being on the phone with customer service 10 times before they would send me a new one I finally replaced it and my dumb self forgot to put the little 3 prong pitch fork in the speed module and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t travel and after watching this it clicked. Working good now
Very good info . thanks a lot. I have 3 of this type all 5 years old. One failed so far. Part on order. Hope to fix it soon.
Hope it works for you as well, thank you!
My travel module just crapped out. Only two years old. My old Wayne Dalton opener lasted 18 years with no problems.
Welcome to the club my friend, 🙃
These newer liftmaster chain drives/belt drives seem to fail than the older ones
You are 100% right!
My Genie lasted 16 years. This Liftmaster last 20 MONTHS.
Thanks very much my garage door opener has the same issue.
Glad I can help! Dont forget to like and if you can subscribe!:)
Ah when you say push down on pry yabs, you point at like 4 different items. Could you clarify where the tabs are?
Thank you for the info. Saved me some cash.
Glad to have helped!
Mine has yet to FAIL, my issue is the "Down Limit" over runs and bows the rail and slacks the chain. Think I'll order the part and start the tear down.
Hope it brings you good luck!
Your issue was fixed replacing the travel module?
i have same ditto problem
I replaced my travel module, it works once or twice and then door stops fully closings again
so they upgraded the limit switch to this travel module?
Hi..is this also related to an Excessive Force Load error I am getting? tx
My garage door ignores the close limit, then tries to shove door through the garage floor till the capacitor blows. I’ve now replaced 5 capacitor’s. Not sure what is going on.
Maybe I’ll try to replace travel module next.
My travel module is approximately 5years old as well
That is crazy!!! Sorry to hear that Hopefully! Hopefully the travel module solves this!!!
Are you absolutely sure the limit switches are being activated? I'm not sure which JunkMaster model you have, but mine has LED lights that illuminate when the limit switches are activated.
@@TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew no I wasn’t absolutely positive.
I ended up buying a new motor and replaced it. So far so good
@@jaystepp150
I'm fed up with mine. It's been doing this since it was new and the dealer is no help even though it's under warranty.
@@TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew same, they’d give me part numbers to try, I’d buy them, to no avail.
Went and unfortunately got the same brand name but different model so I didn’t have to change the the limiters and switches on the wall. The process took approximately a hour.
Upside is I now know if I left my garage door open. And can close from phone if so.
Great details! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
You're shocked? Mine only last 20 months - I'm ticked off!
That's so messed up, im sorry to hear
Got you beat... 14 months
Mine lasted one year 😫
Im sorry to hear! Mine was a couple years!
Mine lasted 20 months, which is RIDICULOUS!!! My Genie lasted 16 years with an HEAVY steel 2-car door.
@@jeanbean1390 its shocking how many products rather than expectedly being made to last longer than their predecessors instead seem to fail in short order these days.
liftmaster = lifesucking master.....these ops are inferior to the old school ones
Check the soldered points on the removed unit, bet one is cracked, just re'solder' all points.
Checked it was not that
