I have considered powering down and rebooting but the control circuitry is located in the top of the shaft and is on an un-interruptible power supply (UPS). Since the elevator is currently on the top floor the only access is through a small hatch in the attic above. I installed a new UPS last year because the old one went bad. It was pretty easy to access at that time because I was able to run the elevator down to the bottom floor, open the upper floor door and stand on top of the elevator to install the new UPS. I remember seeing the "hatch" at the top of the shaft and thinking 'I would never want to have to try and get at the controls from above with the elevator in the up position'. Oh well, I may be finding out, LOL. Thanks for the input.
