Possible Causes

Safety sensors not functioning, Sensor wiring fault, Incorrect sensor type, Logic board interpreting fault condition

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This mode is a safety fallback. Do not continue to use constant pressure as a workaround; fix the underlying sensor issue.

Steps to fix:

  • Verify sensors: Confirm both safety sensors are installed, aligned, and their LEDs are solid.
  • Check wiring: Repair any open or shorted sensor wires.
  • Use correct sensors: Ensure you are using Chamberlain-compatible sensors for your opener model.
  • Reset opener: Power cycle the opener after correcting sensor issues and test normal close operation.
