Did you remove the door from the opener (by pulling the release cord) and try the door manually to feel if it's binding? Have you checked the springs to make sure they are not broken? For the torsion springs, you often don't know one is broken, and when the second breaks, the door acts wonky.

My door was doing something like this a few weeks ago, and when I did it manually, I could see, hear, and feel the door was rubbing on one of the rails. Basically there is some play side to side in the door, and it had gone all the way to one side.

Hi yeah I removed the cord and couldn’t feel it binding more than usual. But then again, where it gets stuck is when the last set of wheels are fgoing past the curve. So maybe binding in there, WD40 should loosen that up I hope. Anyway, based on your comment and chimpy’s, I increased the force to close the door and that worked for now as a quick fix. Thanks a lot

WD40 is not a lubricant. Water Dispersal 40th attempt. NASA developed it.
