There are stop levers up on the drive track that stop the door from going back too far on the track and keeps it from pushing the door down continually onto the the garage floor. One will be up front by the door in the closed position the other back by the door opener motor. On my door they look like wire levers mounted on plastic housings. There have gotten thrown off alignment before which messes up how far the door goes up or down. Did you check those?
Alternately it could have just died, though it doesnt seem old enough given the relative age of your house when you posted picks from the purchase. iirc. Installing a new door opener isnt a big deal. I replaced mine last spring in about two hours. If you have to buy a new one, get a screw drive opener. Easy install and no chain to mess with.

One of mine did that, I had to manually release it and snap it back into place.

Did you look at the springs? Also there should be adjustments on the opener for how hard it pulls up/down on the unit if it's newer. You could try tweaking those, although I sort of doubt it will work from what you're describing.

Mind if I ask how much it cost?
Trying to figure about what mine should cost before I get estimates.
