Door won't close unless I hold the button all the way down.

I have a Liftmaster Professional 1/2 HP garage door opener. The garage door will not close unless I hold the button the whole way down. Both of the eyes have lights on.

Make sure the eyes are clean and aligned if the opener thinks something is obstructing its path it will not close

HBW0777 Liftmaster garage door opener will not close unless wall button is held down. Weirdly enough it only does this in early fall to early spring for last 3 years. What can I do to fix it?

Have the wiring checked out for proper voltage and ground, when it is acting up. The seasonal change may affect the ground rod, it may not be well grounded.

If the main light flashes 10 times when you try to close the door it is a sensor problem. Make sure they are not flickering ever so slightly and that they are not loose on their brackets. Tweak them a little bit.

My Liftmaster 1/2 H.P. opens but cannot be closed (without depressing the button on the wall until the garage door comes down all the way. Any help will be much appreciated

HOLDING DOWN THE WALL BUTTON OVERRIDES THE SAFETY EYES.
WHEN HOLDING IT DOWN MAKES THE DOOR CLOSE PROPERLY THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SAFETY EYES.

ARE BOTH LEDS ON? - CHECK FOR A LOOSE OR BROKEN WIRE.
ARE THE EYES WIRED CORRECTLY?
ARE THEY AIMED AT EACH OTHER?

Liftmaster pro 1/2 hp wont shut in one button press

You have a door sensor problem. Either your main light bulb is burned out or you don't have one in your opener. The clicking sound you hear is the relay for the light. Both of the door sensors should have a small light that is lit. Tweak them until they are.

I have a craftsman garage door opener (1/2 hp) won't close proper

Check your door sensors. They have probably been bumped. Tweak them until they are pointed at one another and the small light on each one is lit and not blinking.
