    Just wanted to say- I’m a single, first time homeowner with not a lot of repair knowledge. After watching this video I was able to fix my door after adjusting the electrical wire in the sensor (the light was not on- no power) after a quick adjustment, light came on and garage door went down! THANK YOU SO MUCH, you saved me so much money!!🙂

      Welcome to the world of home ownership. As a decades long home owner, I would encourage you to consult UA-cam first, anytime you have a pending repair issue before you call in the expensive specialists. You might surprise yourself in just how successful you might be in solving a lot of home repairs yourself as a consequence of consulting UA-cam first. There is a wealth of information here. Best of luck in the future.

      Great vid but wonder if it can help with this particular anomaly after re-engaging? :
      Mine's a brand new garage door (I'd also been moving stuff in to store). My girlfriend didn't leave her key fob so I had to open the garage manually. I re-engaged the part that pulls back the garage door but the door is now only half closing?! i.e. I note the travelling white part (that engages the black metal mechanism part of the door) is stopping about two feet away from where it should - hence the door no longer shutting.
      I definitely haven't broken anything but that re-engaged white part refuses to travel back to it's further forward original position. Any extra help is welcome before I try tomorrow...!

    Well-done and helpful video! I've had to adjust the sensors on occasion when they had been bumped and misaligned, but was stumped when the door would open but not go down more than a couple of inches. After viewing your video I looked more closely at the wire connections to the sensors and discovered that 1 wire had come slightly loose but it was not readily apparent upon a casual visual inspection. After reconnecting it, the sensor lights came back on and the door closes properly again. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge so that others can benefit from it. And your explanations and visual examples were clear and easy to follow. Thanks!

    Also if you have direct sunlight hitting one of the beams, that will cause your door to not shut! I just found this out with my door! I put a piece of cardboard near the sensor to shade it, and it works perfect now. That sun would hit that beam every year in the month of February, just at the right angle to interfere with the electric beam!

    Thanks so much for this video, saved me a repair call. It was a sensor that got tilted upwards then had the metal framing blocking it. I had just had a delivery and the door was open, delivery person put the package inside the garage and must have knocked it. I just repositioned it and door works fine now. Thanks again!

    The first issue he described, with blocking/misaligned sensors was exactly our cause!! Our green light was flickering due to a misalignment, but cleaning with a broom made the LED turn solid green. This completely fixed our garage door issue.

  • @taiuqsab
    @taiuqsab 2 роки тому +1

    Thank you for this. My garage door wouldn’t close on the first button press for months. Finally it stopped closing altogether and I was so upset because I couldn’t get anyone to come out and take a look. Turns out because my home is a new construction and after settling a bit, the right sensor became misaligned by a few centimeters. I pushed it in place and the red light stopped flickering and my remotes worked again on the first push. Thank goodness! No more running in and out of the house to leave.

    This video actually helped me, thank you. My issue was with the sensors, I cleaned them multiple times, but i never paid attention that there were lights on them, fortunately i have 2 garage doors and was able to compare that there should be lights on the sensors, once i moved the sensors up and down the lights came back on ...i think this suggests they were out of alignment. This has been an ongoing issue for me for a while where the door works and then for no reason stops working...I have 1 more thing in my arsenole to check now.

    I had same symptoms intermittent and checked everything you shared to no avail. The fix ended up something thats easily overlooked: old grease on rails that caused wheels to get stuck. Rails should never have grease. After cleaning it up the doors worked perfect.

    OMG thank you so much. I just fixed our garage. It does not go down all the way and we had this issue for months. We got a qoute to have it fixed and would have cost us 1200 for it to be fixed good thing we did not go with the guys estimate and had it fixed at the time. The sensor was blocked. Thank you so much!
