Possible Causes

Blocked or misaligned photo eyes, Broken sensor wire, Sensor knocked out of bracket, Sensor lens dirty

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Never bypass the safety sensors by twisting wires together or taping over them.

  • Observe light flashes: Count the flashes; repeated sets of 10 typically indicate a sensor issue on many openers.
  • Clean lenses: Wipe each sensor lens with a soft cloth to remove dust and cobwebs.
  • Realign sensors: Adjust each sensor until both LEDs are solid. Tighten brackets.
  • Check wiring continuity: If one LED is off, inspect and repair the wiring back to the opener head. Replace the sensor pair if wiring is intact but no power LED.
