Garage doors feature sensors for many reasons. One of those reasons is to prevent the door from crushing anything in its path. If you are struggling to close your garage door without holding down the button, this could be a sensor blockage issue.
Why does garage door close then reopen?
Your garage door is programmed to travel a certain distance before it closes. If it closes before that distance has been traveled, it thinks something is wrong — and it reopens to help prevent any damage or safety risk. When that happens, the distance your garage door needs to travel may change.
Why does my garage door not close when I hold down the button?
If you are struggling to close your garage door without holding down the button, this could be a sensor blockage issue. The sensor will not activate the garage door to close if there is anything in its way. The blockage may not be noticeable, so check for debris, spider webs, or small rocks in the sensor’s way.
Why does my garage door automatically reverse when I open it?
9 Answers 9. The garage door will automatically reverse if it encounters too much resistance or if the sensor beam is interrupted. To check for resistance, start with the door closed and pull the red handle. Then open and close the door.
Why does my garage door light up all the time?
One sensor should have a light on all the time. This is the transmitter. The other, your receiver, should light up when it has an unobstructed view of the invisible light beam the transmitter sends. It’s easy to bump a sensor and move it out of alignment. Just bend it back in to position.
