Hello Cecil Boyd,

You may have a frequency interference issue (solutions can be found &lt;a href=&quot;https://garagedoorchamp.com/garage-door-opener-remote-only-works-up-close/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;), or perhaps an electrical problem with the garage door opener unit (this will need further on-site troubleshooting).]]></description>

Hello Elena,

The issue can be one of the following:
 1. Faulty sensor.
 2. Sensor misalignment.
 3. Sensor’s damaged electrical wire shorting out.
 4. Loose connection on operator’s mother board.

Try to look closely at the receiving sensor’s LED light (green) when it’s darker in the garage. Occasionally, the LED light flickers very slightly which may indicate a faulty sensor or misalignment.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been having issues with my garage door for quite some time. I&#039;ve had a company out to look at it numerous times, only to temporarily fix it, and then it stops working again. The garage door will only go up, but will not close at all without holding down the wall button. Both sensors are solid, one green and one orange, so I&#039;m not sure what the issue is. At this point, I&#039;m thinking that either the sensors have become defective or something else has.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://garagedoorchamp.com/troubleshooting-garage-door-wont-close/#comment-1921&quot;&gt;my&lt;/a&gt;.

Hello there, thanks for reaching out.

Is the operator&#039;s light bulb flashing few times once door reversed? If it does, it may indicate that there&#039;s an issue with the safety system/safety eyes. Try to take a closer look on the eye&#039;s LED light while it&#039;s darker in the garage, sometimes it will flicker slightly and would be difficult to see from a distance. Also, the sun shining directly on the sensor&#039;s lens may cause the garage door opener to reverse. 
If the operator&#039;s light bulb isn&#039;t flashing once door reversed, release the door to manual mode while it&#039;s fully closed, raise and lower it by hand to check for any obstructions and that the door is correctly balanced. If door travels smoothly up and down, adjust the unit&#039;s force and sensitivity.]]></description>

Hello Irene,

Do you need to press and hold the wall button while closing the garage door? Is the light bulb on the unit flashing few times? These are signals that there&#039;s a malfunction with the safety eyes. Try to realign/adjust photo eyes (located on bottom of vertical tracks, left and right hand side) and check electric wiring for any damage.]]></description>
