Genie PRO 88 1/3 Horsepower Screw Drive Garage Door Opener Dead
Story starts with closing door w/remote, hits object in path, hesitates a second, opens back up and stops at up limit. Remove object, re-activate w/remote, door closes and stops at down limit. Open six inches and stop with remote. All good. 10 mins. later, push remote button, nothing. Push hardwired button, nothing. Pull emergency release and open door. Moves easily up and down with two fingers. Pull plug, check power. OK. Plug back in after locking carriage. Push hardwired switch and door moves to up limit, hits limit, carriage nut pops open partially and starts slipping. Quickly pull emergency release to save threads, motor continues to run. Manually activate limit, still going, push hardwire switch, won't turn off. Slide lock button to lock, motor stops. Slide to unlock, motor won't start when button pushed until AC power is cycled. Not sure where to go from here. Does anybody have an idea or manual? Schematic would be nice too.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately it sounds like the logic board is messed up. The key fact is that all functions seem to be correct after a power reset.
Thats a pretty old unit I think, though I have a Pro 82 from 1990 that's still going strong. No kids or outside pets here or I'd probably replace it. I sure wouldn't spend more than the price of a cap to get it working.

Welcome to the forums.
From what I can see..... the Pro 88 and the Pro 88-S use a remote control system set by a 9 or 12 position dipswitch. There is no power reset mode.
Does the wall button still work ?

I've never seen any GDO with a real reset button. Many times unplugging and leaving off for 30 min or so will help...esp with older units.
