Vibration causing sensor misalignment, loose sensor bracket, sunlight interference, marginal wiring connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not tape over or bypass sensors.

  • Tighten brackets: Ensure both sensor brackets are firmly attached to the track or wall and do not move when the door operates.
  • Fine-tune alignment: Even if LEDs are on, slightly adjust the sensors until the receiving sensor LED is brightest and most stable.
  • Shield from sunlight: If direct sunlight hits the sensors, install small shades or reposition slightly to reduce interference.
  • Secure wiring: Tighten all terminal screws at the opener and ensure wire nuts or splices are solid.
  • Test multiple cycles: Run the door several times to confirm the error does not recur.
