Cycle the garage door through the opening and closing actions using the control on the garage wall or the remote unit from a vehicle. This is an important safety feature and all doors installed after 1993 are legally required to have a photo eye sensor in addition to their other safety features.

If the door does not close completely without hesitation. Two types of accidental obstructions can cause the safety sensor to prevent a garage door from closing. The first is an obstruction in the path of the door and therefore in the path of the sensor. If your garage door opener light is not working the fix might be as simple as changing the light bulb.

If the laser s beam is broken the garage door should reverse and sometimes the opener system will have an additional warning like flashing the garage light. Look for small led lights on the sensors. More and more products are being produced at a faster rate and that leads to reduced quality.
