My garage door will open by just pressing the button once but to close it i have to hold in the button until it fully closes.
Garage door will not close unless i hold the button.
Clutter or obstructions that block the sensor are the first problems to look for if your door won t close or in extreme cases open at all.
First check the sensor lights.
If anything interrupts this beam of light the garage door will not close and the ceiling light on the opener mechanism will flash as mentioned in the previous step.
Does anyone know how to fix this.
Depending on the brand.
It is a craftsman.
One sends a beam of infra red light to the other.
