Do you mean it starts to close but comes back up, or just won't move? I agree to lube it. White lithium is good. there are some other greases made especially for garage doors. Also, in cold weather, you may need to increase the force level adjustment, which is located on the side of the the motor housing along with the travel adjustment. but normally in cold weather, you'll have more problems with the door going up than down.

when its cold it can throw your house off balance... It hot vicea versa... a few years back we had a place above our front door that would crack in the winter time... weird but true... look around at the edges and see if anything is cracked or outta place... and out house was brand new when we bought it... i think its something to do with the foundation.. but you might want to check it out

Adding to the above comments, there could also be some expansion issues. Cold makes metal products and soils expand.

Most likely you need to adjust your force settings usually found at the back of your opener, don't turn it up to high just to the point where it will run your door. Hope this helps.

sounds like it could use a good lube job. white lithium grease to be exact.
