One sends a beam of infra red light to the other. The transmitters remotes will not work to close the garage door.

When it is fully open or close left sensor solid red right sensor solid green. You will find that the door will only move an inch or so in the close direction and reverse.

First check the sensor lights. The first was checking and removing the light in the opener certain lights or looseness of fittings can cause frequencies that can disrupt the remote signal and is in play when the door is freshly opened but not when it has been closed for a while which explains the asymmetry. 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. This causes real hassle as i can t use my remote opener to open the door as well.

When the door is up the sensor lights are off. 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. My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down.
