– Verify that nothing is in between the two sensors
– Make sure the sensors are aligned
– Verify that both sensors have lit LEDs

WHY DOES YOUR GARAGE DOOR REMOTE OPEN THE DOOR SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT?

– If your remote only works when it is super close, the battery in the remote is bad or the antenna wire is broken or needs to be soldered.
– The main circuit-board may need to be replaced.
– You may also be having LED interference. LED lightbulbs can emit a RF [radio frequency] that is in conflict with the RF that the remotes use.

 WHY IS YOUR GARAGE DOOR CHAIN HANGING OR DROOPING?

– Check to see if the gear at the top broke. You cant reattach it, you will need to buy a new gear set. This is usually caused by a chain that is too tight but it could also be a result of a door that is not balanced. An unbalanced door is a result of a torsion spring failure.
– If the gear did not snap off you may have just a loose chain that needs to be put back on and tightened.

HOW TO DO GARAGE DOOR BALANCING TEST?

– Close the door and pull the safety cord. You should be able to open and close the door with not much effort. The door should also be able to stay half open by itself.
