Legacy Garage Door Opener working intermittently
We have a 3-year-old Legacy garage door opener that is working intermittently. We had the overhead door company out 3 times. The first time they oiled it and adjusted the clutches, the second time they replaced the circuit board, and I'm not sure what they did the third time. They said that they do not know what else to do. What else could be causing this unit to work intermittently?

Welcome to the forums
Can you give us a better explanation of what's happening than that it 'works intermittently'?

One example--I could put it down as the truck was pulling away, but I would go out a few hours later, and all I got was humming when I pressed the button. It has been working for several days, but when I went to leave this morning, all I got was humming. I operated it manually, and a few hours later, re-engaged it, pressed the button, and now it is working again. I have no idea what will happen the next time I try. It works sometimes, and sometimes it does not.

Although I have never run into an intermittent start capacitor I would suspect this right away. I would also not call that company again. I can't believe they would just give up.
