Garage Door Opens With Remote But Won T Close

I back the car out and then the 2 remotes will not work to close the door.

Garage door opens with remote but won t close.

The first thing to check is the transmission receiver on the inside wall of your garage. If your garage door opens ok but won t close then it s possible the safety reversing sensors are not correctly aligned. If your garage door won t open with remote activation the problem could be the result of an expired battery in your remote transmitter. Try another remote you know that works.

If so go inside your garage with the remote you had in your car and with the garage closed test the remote to see if the door opens. We will assume this since the button on the garage door wall opened the door. This also disables any remotes or wireless keypads. Depending on the brand.

The door will always open and close with the wall opener. Try using your remote to open or close your door to determine if the reprogramming was successful. Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it receives the sender s beam. If the beam is broken or the sensors are misaligned the sensor light s will go off and subsequently tell the operator not close the door.

I have a 10 year old craftsman garage door opener model 1239 53675srt2 with a wall opener keypad remote and car remote. Then within 30 seconds hold the button on your remote for three seconds or until garage door opener s lights flash or the led light on your opener blinks. Clutter or obstructions that block the sensor are the first problems to look for if your door won t close or in extreme cases open at all. The garage door may attempt to go down but will come right back up and the overhead light on the garage door opener will blink.

If anything interrupts this beam of light the garage door will not close and the ceiling light on the opener mechanism will flash as mentioned in the previous step. When the green indicator light glows steadily tighten the wing nut. To reprogram your garage door remote locate then press your opener s learn button. First check the sensor lights.

So there you have it. This is of course a safety feature to prevent the heavy garage door crushing anyone or anything that might be in the pathway of the door when it comes down.
