I booked maintenance on my 2 garage doors and to have the opener on one checked to see why it would not respond to a remote but worked off the wall button. Hunter did a great job on the maintenance and made some recommendations for spring replacement. He seemed to try his best on the non-responsive opener but was unable to get it to work. For the time being I opted out of having him put in a new unit.
