Can't adjust travel limits on 2004 Craftsman Garage Door Opener?

I have a 2004 Craftsman half hp Garage Door Opener. Door and rails are in good working order. Opener stop clips seem to be broken. Adjusting screws (for force and travel) turn but do not allow for adjustment.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Bob,

I just had this issue, look on the top of the opener - check the sprocket that pulls the chain, is it bent/cocked? If so, there’s a gear assembly inside that probably isn’t driving the up/down limit sensor…the nice part is that Sears made these VERY repairable, and you can order a new gear/sprocket part for about $14 - and it will be whisper quiet.

Here’s a link to an Amazon part that fixed my 2000 door opener, check your manual for the specific part.
