Hi Phil, I think it may have been yourself I spoke to on the phone yesterday, however just to confirm, it sounds like you need a new capacitor for your system. This is the kind of behavior I would expect to see if the capacitor were to be out of action. Just needs replacing and you should be good to go! If not however, give us a call on 0845 054 5070 and we'll try and determine what the cause is.

I was wondering if anyone can help me please.
I moved home and inherited a Electric Gate which is fitted with a SLY 300 motor. The problem is that yesterday we had power cut...i managed to climb t ate and on the back of the motor there is a lock and a knob which i guessed was to manually open the gate i turned the knob and pushed the gate back all ok...
We were out of power for around 8hrs when we came home i closed the gate remotely and it closed ok. This morning i opened the gate ok but it wouldn't close..and there is now a humming noise coming from the control box ?....i ave looked on the liftmaster website and it states to turn to turn the knob and use a socket to turn something 180 degrees which i can not locate ?...i think maybe something in when i opened it manually and then remotely closed has caused te issue..
Could anyone please advise as its much appreaciated
Thanks
Phil
