[image|2886138]I have a different model, stainless steel with a set of sliding louvers that open and close with a motion sensor. There were two problems. The sliders are driven by a pair of ball chains on either side of the sliding louvers. When I first bought the can, one of the ball chains had one more ball than the other and the driving louver would jam due to misalignment. I took out the extra "link" by opening the track using the two screws in the picture and the device worked well for over a year. Today one of the ball chains jumped the track, again causing a misalignment and jamming. The fix was to expose the ball chains, and reset one of them to align with the other. Presto. Search for "iTouchless" to find the guide.
