Garage Door Openers Reverse Closing:

If your garage door keeps reversing you try to close it,

• Check for Obstructions: Look for any objects blocking the door’s path. Inspect the tracks and nearby areas for anything that shouldn’t be there. Remove any obstacles and test the door to see if it closes correctly.
• Align Safety Sensors: Misaligned safety sensors often cause this issue. These sensors sit at the garage door’s base on either side. They need to face each other for the door to close properly. Clean any dirt off the sensor lenses and adjust them both lights stay on steadily.
• Check Sensor Connections: Sometimes, even aligned sensors won’t work to bad connections or broken wires. Inspect the wires from the sensors to the opener for damage. Tighten the connections to the opener. If you find wire issues, replace them (you can use a universal garage door wire) or call a technician for assistance.

Reverses After Fully Closing:

If your garage door goes back up after shutting completely:

• Check the Close Limit Switch: The close limit switch might need adjustment. Consult your garage door opener’s manual to locate and adjust this switch.
• Inspect the Torsion Springs: Broken or worn-out torsion springs can cause the door to reverse. If you suspect spring issues, consider professional assistance.

Not Responding to Remote Control:

If your remote control isn’t working:

• Replace Batteries: Start by replacing the batteries in the remote control.
• Check Range and Position: Make sure you’re within the recommended range and position using the remote.

• Inspect Wiring and Connections: Check for loose wires, damaged connections, or faulty components.
• Reset the Opener: Sometimes a simple reset can resolve issues. Consult your opener’s manual for instructions on resetting it.
