Garage door opener problems

I'm going through it now, I'm all ears on this one. I'll probably just replace the damn thing though.

I had that problem awhile back..one of the sensors had a loose wire. Also make sure the sensors are aligned properly...you might have bumped one by accident while walking by.

My wife backed into our garage door, I called Doortech to come out and fix. Highly recommend them

First thing to do is check the sensors. That's the easiest thing, and most common problem.

My ex's aunt didn't use her garage door for 3 years until I went over there one day and tried to open it. Evidently someone hit it when they were moving in, and they just kept it closed for the next 3 years. Adjusted the sensors, and she thought I was Bob Villa or something

How do you check the sensors and determine if aligned,good, bad?

Youtube it, but I know mine had a little light on the side. When it was getting the signal from the other sensor, it lit up and let you know it was aligned.

The door on my wife's bay of the garage does this every once in a while and our sensors are definitely aligned. There's just something screwed up with the logic in hers. You have to hold down the button on the wall and it will go down and "reset" then work fine for a few weeks. Then all of a sudden it will start acting up again. Do the fix once and you are good for a while. Too lazy to actually call someone to figure it out . Plus it's her side of the garage, so who cares.

I cleaned off the sensors and they didn't look like they got knocked out of whack. I do have a wheel barrow next to the sensor on one side and a ladder next to the other side. I wonder if that is throwing it off....

This is correct. All you holding the button does is tell the opener to bypass the sensors.

This. Had the same problem a few years ago, turns out, my sensor was pointed across the street.

I'm sure my wife had something to do with that.

The door goes back up as soon as I let off the button.
