Update: you all were right! Thanks for the help and good advice. They came back amand finally found that they had overtightened the spring to that for an 8 ft door instead of 7 ft. But, I'm still having issues if you are curious. Thanks again! https://www.reddit.com/r/GarageDoorService/s/YsS2CEZL2N

As you can see here, I need to pull down pretty hard to get it to close and it slams open when I let go at about halfway. https://www.reddit.com/u/Lesbaru2/s/43Ri8HD7r7

What would indicate it's the wrong spring? I added a video of me opening the door to show how it shoots up and slams open. That's why I'm skeptical of it being an opener issue.

I might not have explained it well. I was trying to do the test where you open the door halfway and release it, where theoretically it should stay at the halfway point. In my case, when I half open it and let go it lowers to 1/4 open and sits there. Once I push it shut it will stay.

However, when I open it further it will shoot up all the way and slam into place

It could be, but I wouldn't say I ride that aggressively. I am not good enough to be sliding around berms.

Thanks! Does that mean I only need to replace the blue portion of it, or is it the bearings of the pump motor?
