Remote control will open door but does not close. Opener flashes and clicks but door does not close

1 comments:

The Craftsman garage door opener remote control may open the door but not close it due to an issue with the safety sensors. If the sensors are blocked, misaligned, or malfunctioning, the opener will prevent the door from closing. The steady green light on both sensors indicates they are powered, but they may still need realignment.

The flashing and clicking from the opener suggest a possible issue with the logic board or a relay. The amber indicator light blinking five times repeatedly may be an error code indicating a malfunction. If unplugging the unit and resetting it does not resolve the issue, the logic board may need to be replaced.

The sensors on the Craftsman garage door opener may not be lit due to one or more of the following reasons:

1. The sensors are out of alignment.
2. There is a faulty or broken connection in the sensor wiring.
3. The sensor wires may have a short circuit, be disconnected, or have reversed polarity (black and white wires swapped).
4. One or both sensors may be faulty.

To fix the issue, check and correct the wiring, ensure proper alignment of the sensors, and replace any damaged components if needed.
