Garage Door Needs Button Has To Be Held

If i just press and release the button the door starts to close then reverses.

Garage door needs button has to be held.

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 learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds. When i returned from work today i pushed the button on my remote garage door opener but the door didn t budge. Any transmitter like a handheld clicker or outdoor keypad will also not work to close the door if there is a problem with the sensor.

One of the sensor lights will usually be blinking when there is a malfunction. Next release the button when the overhead opener unit s lights blink. The wall button and remote work fine for opening door but i have to hold down the wall button to close it. Garage door won t close unless button is held.

You are overriding the infrared beam sensor when you hold down the wall button continuously while the garage door is closing. When i disconnect the carriage and manually move door it seems to move smoothly in both directions. So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning. It is a craftsman.

Even after putting new batteries in the remote the garage door still is not. Press and release the learn button on the overhead garage door opener unit. When you can close the door with the wall button by holding it down. Until it completely closes and the remotes only make the door move.

A small amount and the door returns that is the sign of the safety sensor system. I tried resetting them but now the large button opens both doors at the same time.
