Garage door stopping while closing
One sensor has a red light; the other is not lit...should it be green?

Usually they should both be green. Sounds like they aren't lined up.

Do you have a painted floor

Also, if the door is up and starts down and then goes back up you probably have a loose wire at the connection of the sensor to the cable going to the opener, I just had to fix one like that last week. Hope this helps. |

Garage door sensors.
I just had this happen to my garage door, pres the opener, garage door cones down about a foot and goes back up. Checked sensors, and red light was out on the one sensor, so tried to re align them, with no success, Went on Amazon to find a pair of sensors, but no luck. Went on E-Bay, and found them right away. Ordered them, right around $60.00, got them in 3 days, took them out to the garage and installed them in about 10 minutes, very easy install, don't have to turn of electricity, low voltage wires. Red light came on immediately, I went and pushed garage door opener, and all worked perfectely.

Had the same problem and got tired of it. Finally disconnected one side and wired them together on one side and duct taped together with sensor facing each other. Problem solved forever. Never had a need to have the door reverse itself because something was in the way. If I still had young children that would be a different story

Sun was blocking the beam. I taped a plastic shade to the front side of the exposed sensor which solved the issue. 😎😍

Playing card
Can tape a playing card ( from a deck of cards) on the sun side of the sensor so it sticks out and blocks the sun if it is a sun issue. 2 cards, 2 pieces of tap, 2 minutes too do. Good luck.

If your problem is sunshine falling on the receiving sensor, the best solution is to glue a short length of PVC pipe on that sensor. I found that a 2" length of PVC was enough. You may have to realign the sending sensor so that the infrared beam hits the small opening of the PVC. |
