I used to have a genie which was the screw type, which I presume is what you
have. What a piece of junk!! In the winter time the screw would contract and
make all kinds of racket and periodically would hang up. If I were you I
would junk it and not fool around with it. A new opener doesn't cost all
that much. Sears always has them on sale.

And I have had 4 of them (two different homes with two car garages) and
not once have I had any problems with them. That's about 60 years of
experience.

I would say you had a bad install.
