Possible Causes
Obstruction in door path, Misaligned Cardale photocells, Excessive closing force sensitivity setting, Stiff door movement causing false obstruction detection
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the door closed against resistance; identify and correct the cause.
- Check for obstructions: Inspect the floor, tracks, and around the door for objects, ice, or debris. Remove anything in the path.
- Verify photocells: Ensure the safety beams are aligned and their LEDs indicate normal operation. Clean lenses and adjust brackets as needed.
- Test manual operation: Disconnect the opener and move the door by hand. If it binds or feels heavy, have the door hardware serviced.
- Adjust force settings: If the door moves freely, slightly increase the close force setting on the Cardale control panel, following the manual and safety guidelines. Do not exceed recommended limits.
