Ryobi garage door opener stops and reverses immediately when trying to close; E2 appears on the display.

Safety first: Keep people and pets clear of the door. Disconnect power before adjusting hardware. Do not attempt to force a jammed door with the opener.

• 1. Check for door binding: Pull the emergency release cord to disengage the trolley. Manually lift and lower the door. It should move smoothly and stay about halfway open without falling. If it binds or is heavy, call a door professional to service springs and tracks before using the opener.
• 2. Inspect tracks and rollers: Look for bent tracks, loose brackets, or worn rollers. Tighten loose track brackets and remove any obstructions. Do not bend tracks while the door is under tension.
• 3. Reset travel limits: Reconnect the trolley to the opener. On the Ryobi opener head, locate the UP/DOWN travel adjustment buttons or programming buttons. Follow the Ryobi manual procedure to erase and reprogram open and close limits (typically: press and hold the PROGRAM button until the display flashes, then set open and close positions using the arrow buttons).
• 4. Adjust closing force: If your Ryobi model has force adjustment settings in the menu, reduce the down force slightly and retest. The door should close fully without reversing, but still reverse if it hits an obstruction.
• 5. Test multiple cycles: Run the door through several open/close cycles. If E2 returns and the door moves freely by hand, the internal travel sensor or motor control board may be faulty and require replacement.
