PRECISELY !!!!
Sorry if I was not real clear.
It opens and closes, but it used to open something like 6 turns and
stop (at full open). Now it just keeps turning after it reaches the
fully open position. In other words, it still works, but I dont want
to leave it like this very long because I am sure it will get worse.
This problem just started a few days ago. Now I need to determine if I
need to replace the whole thing or get a part for it.
Thanks for all advice
