Question Garage Door Only Works Sporadically

I have an automatic garage door opener that has recently started acting up. Sometimes it will only go up a few feet and stop. If it I try it again right then, it will stop in the same place. Other times it works fine with no problems. I don't know if this matters but it seems to work fine in the morning but not in the afternoon. It always works fine going down. Going up is where the problems occur. Any ideas on what would cause it to only work right on occassion??

try releasing the door from the opener and working the door by hand.

Have a similar case, mine has been stopping going down. Looking at the panels, you can see where warpage has caused binding. This resists the movement and "fools" the motor into thinking there is an object in the way. Service is coming Tuesday for inspection.
