Are you having trouble with your Overhead Door Odyssey garage door opener?  

  • Does your Odyssey only travel a few inches and stops?
  • Does your Odyssey reverse without  any obstructions in the way?
  • Does your Odyssey only travel a few inces when seting the up and down limits?
  • Does your Odyssey travel past the down limit?

Are seeing you the following error messages from the LED lights on the garage door opener motor head?

  • Double purple LED
  • Double solid red LED
  • Long red LED

These problems could possibly be resolved by simply replacing the optical encoder inside the motor head.
