Door hits the floor and then immediately reverses back open.

Possible Causes
Down limit set beyond floor level, Door flexing and triggering force reversal, Loose door arm connection causing bounce, Soft floor or threshold mat compressing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep feet and objects away from the door bottom during testing.
- 1. Remove mats or obstacles: Take away any thick mats or objects at the threshold.
- 2. Adjust down limit: Turn the down/close limit adjustment on the Linear opener to reduce travel so the door just seals against the floor without excessive force.
- 3. Tighten door arm hardware: Ensure the curved arm and straight arm bolts are tight at both the door and trolley.
- 4. Test several cycles: Run the door multiple times to confirm it closes firmly without reversing.
