My Garage Door Will Not Close Unless I Hold The Button Down

Only the wall button will close it.

My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down.

My door willnt close all the way it reverses and opens. I m having the same problems as others. An intermittent alignment issue with the sensors or damaged sensor wiring or a failing sensor could sometimes make it impossible for the system to determine if anything is under the door and again it will prevent the door from closing normally. If an operational problem exists and the garage door opener will not close the opener can be forced to close.

After i hold the button down to close it the sensor lights come back on. When you continuously hold down the close button in the garage you are over riding this system. Garage doors sometimes seem to have a mind of their own often deciding when and how far they want to open or close. I have a steady amber and green indicating light on my sensors.

Sometimes the fix can be as simple as replacing the batteries in the opener. Door starts down then stops before it is closed. When this happens your garage door will only close by holding down on the wall button or wall console until the door fully closes. If the door can be reasonably easily opened and closed by hand but the opener balks at closing the door the tension setting probably needs to be increased.

It doesn t matter if i use the remote or push button by the door. Check garage door for binding. The transmitters remotes will not work to close the garage door. You will find that the door will only move an inch or so in the close direction and reverse.

I ve made sure there are no obstacles and that the sensors are aligned properly. My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down. Press and hold the wall console button until the garage door is completey closed. Not a small light is the big ones out front that are flickering not the one in back t of the motor.

It still would open. I even tried holding the door push button down in the closed position. I have disconnected the safety devises and still have the same issue. Wireless remote works open the door but will not close the light out front starts flickering when we try to it with the wireless remote so we go inside push the button on the wall and hold it till it closes the door all the way.

When the door is up the sensor lights are off. Garage door will not close without holding down the wall button.
