This is usually a problem with the sensors. I have seen this at least 6 times at neighbors homes. The installers just twist the wires together at the sensors, and maybe some tape. The problem is that these connections fail over time. I replace these with a crimped comnnection. Take a look at the lights on the sensors, also most garage door openers will show a code (blinking LED or LEDs), you will need the instruction manual to decode, but this will tell you the problem. I am currently very busy with home projects, but if you have a friend that knows how to make crimped connections have these redone and see if it fixes your problem.

Also check to see if anything is obstructing the sensors.
It doesn't take much to interfere with them

Also could be as simple as one of the sensors being inadvertently bumped/bracket bent out of alignment.

Happened to me multiple times. The sensor got either bumped out of alignment, the wire came undone, dirty, or something is in its way.
