Can you hold the button down to make the door go down. Garage door won t go down most common problems when a door won t go down. The majority of garage doors manufactured since the early 1990s are equipped with this safety feature. Does anyone know how to fix this.

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. When the door is up the sensor lights are off. If i just press and release the button the door starts to close then reverses.

If your garage door won t close all the way the problem could be due to a blocked photo eye. So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning. My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down. I have to hold down the bottom in the garage to bring the door down.

When you pressed the button did the opener lights blink at you. Yes there is a problem with the photoelectric eyes. The wall button and remote work fine for opening door but i have to hold down the wall button to close it. The problem starts when you hit the button to close it and the door starts to close.

The photo eye components consist of two pieces that align face to face across each side of the garage door roughly four feet above the ground. But seems to be unable to close all the way.

Why do i have to hold down the button to close the garage door. I ve made sure there are no obstacles and that the sensors are aligned properly.
