Signs You Need Sensor Repair
The Problem
Garage door sensor problems can manifest in various ways, from the door failing to close properly to unexpected reversals. These sensors, which use an infrared beam to detect obstacles, are crucial for preventing accidents. Common signs that your sensors need attention include:
- Garage door reverses before hitting the floor: This might indicate that the sensors are detecting an obstruction, even when there isn’t one.
- Flashing LED lights: On the sensor units, indicating alignment or functionality issues.
- Garage door fails to close: Sometimes, the door won’t close if the sensors are malfunctioning or blocked.
The Solution
An obvious solution to these issues involves cleaning the sensor lenses with a soft cloth, checking the alignment, and ensuring the wiring, including the white and black wires, is intact. However, when these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s time to call in the garage door experts.
