Have To Hold Wall Button To Close Garage Door

Have to hold wall button to close garage door. Tuesday june 26 2018. My craftsman garage door opener won t close unless i hold the button down until it closes all the way. Check the wires to the door sensors and the wall control for staples pinching the wires. When this happens your garage door will only close by holding down on the wall button or wall console until the door fully closes.

If there is any looseness of the mounting of the sensors it can cause this problem. The fact that the wall switch button has to be held more than once to close the door sounds as if there might be a problem with the wires between the wall control and the opener. Not close the light out front starts flickering when we try to it with the wireless remote so we go inside push the button on the wall and hold it till it closes the door all the way by manage my life. You are overriding the infrared beam sensor when you hold down the wall button continuously while the garage door is closing.

When you can close the door with the wall button by holding it down until it completely closes and the remotes only make the door move a small amount and the door returns that is the sign of the safety sensor system. So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning. They might start flashing when the garage door starts to move. You will find that the door will only move an inch or so in the close direction and reverse.
