I do not like working with 110/220.. It's on a 110 15 amp circuit. Tomorrow I will go back early, get an extension cord and plug it into a different part of the house (detached garage at a town home) make sure its 15 amp and see if it works to isolate any issues. The garage door worked fine the last few days and such.

I'm thinking the circuit breaker is at fault since the ground is questionable.

Some genius bent the lock rods for the garage door so I had to bend them back to something resembling straight and adjust the riders so it will latch. I un did the safety latch so the garage can be opened manually and locked properly.


I'll talk to her see what she wants to do. But best thing is of course have an electrician come out and deal with the circuit breaker. I am confident enough to replace it but I'm not a fan of 110 volts and the related amps. As long as I can disconnect the main electrical service breaker/switch I am safe. I always triple check when I work on anything electric related that I have control of the power.



Again, I think the pro should deal with it. I think there is a short in the circuit somewhere.
