Garage Door Requires Buttom Hold Down To Close

So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning.

Garage door requires buttom hold down to close.

My garage door will open by just pressing the button once but to close it i have to hold in the button until it fully closes. The problem starts when you hit the button to close it and the door starts to close. Something is blocking the beam either the sender or receiver is misaligned kicked. It is a craftsman.

Check that you re using it within the range required for your opener. My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down. The wall button and remote work fine for opening door but i have to hold down the wall button to close it. Can you hold the button down to make the door go down.

Does anyone know how to fix this. If i let go of the bottom the door stops. Yes there is a problem with the photoelectric eyes. When the door is up the sensor lights are off.

Why do i have to hold down the button to close the garage door. I have to hold down the bottom in the garage to bring the door down. After i hold the button down to close it the sensor lights come back on. If i just press and release the button the door starts to close then reverses.

The photo eye components consist of two pieces that align face to face across each side of the garage door roughly four feet above the ground. Garage door won t go down most common problems when a door won t go down. When i disconnect the carriage and manually move door it seems to move smoothly in both directions. When you pressed the button did the opener lights blink at you.

But seems to be unable to close all the way. If your garage door won t close all the way the problem could be due to a blocked photo eye.
