Default Blinking Red Light on Garage Door Motor

We have a Romac garage door that has a blinking red light on the motor, door won't close and keypad doesn't work. This happen suddenly and we can't figure out the cause or how to fix it.

Anyone out there experienced the same problem? Thank you for your help!

A sensor may have been bumped and gotten out of line. Easy enough to adjust.
Also, a loose connection will cause the same symptoms. Check the wiring to the sensor and the wiring going into the ceiling unit for good connections.

Try to find the owners manual,if you can't try the internet.The blinking light sends out a code and then the manual tells you what the code means.
But my guess is that the sensors are not line up properly.A very easy fix.The sensors are not tightly affixed to prevent damage if they are hit so the slightest
hit moves the sensor.
