Lift master door will not close with remotes. to close door, the main switch in garage has to be held down until door reaches bottom. when using either remote or main switch, to close said door, the assembly will blink for 10 times and nothing happens. any suggestions?? yes, i have checked the sensors for clearance and settings. they are within specs. thanks for your reply in this matter. rod -- email:

I had this problem as well with the door opening just fine but was not closing when using the remotes or when breifly pressing the wall mounted control. The door would close only when using the wired wall mount control. I have experienced this problem with other garage door openers I've had in my previous homes and it was always caused by sensors at the bottom of the door tracks being either misaligned or the lenses were dirty. In this case, and it was just a moment ago today, I simply cleaned the sensor lenses and then the door began to function properly. Give it a try.

I recommend this to everyone with garage door opener problems:

Use the pull cord and disconnect the opener from the door. Operate the opener and let the carrier slide back away from the door. Is the carrier moving smoothly when disconnected? Next, lift the door by hand from the bottom to the top. Is it moving smoothly? If not, lubricate the hubs of all the rollers on both sides of the door. Check the cable pulleys at the top sides of the door channel, lubricate them as well. Are all cables in all the pulleys, there are 4.

THE NEW OPENERS USE A DIFFERENT FREQUENCY - SO IT WON'T WORK.
SORRY

HOPE THIS HELPS

If the sensor is working right, that leaves the downward force sensor tripping. First check for track obstrucions by manually moving the door with the lift disengaged. If door works without excessive force, then increase the force sensor of the lift a bit.

99% SURE IT IS THE SAFETY EYES - ALIGNMENT, WIRING, OR BAD EYES

HOPE THIS HELPS

Lift-Master 2000SDR opener. Opener generally works fine from the remotes. However, first time in the morning in cooler weather, it will start to close and the reverse and the lights blink. I have checked the senors - appear to be aligned properly. I have lubed the gear and used garage door spray on the rollers and hinges at the proper places. To close the door when this happens, I have to hold the wall button.

If the main lights flash 10 times when the door reverses it is a problem with the door sensors or the wiring to them. Each sensor has a small light that must be lit and not blinking for them to work properly. Make sure each of them is on. If the sensors have been bumped you can tweak them a bit to get them pointed correctly. If you can't get both sensors to light then you either have bad sensors or once again the wiring is bad. I really wonder about the wiring because of the mouse problem. Also the wires are color coded. One of the is solid white and the other is white with black stripe. They can't be crossed.

I would replace the capacitor.

It sounds like the door sensors have been bumped or somehow gotten misaligned. Tweak them until the light on each one is lit and not blinking. They must be pointed at one another.

If the safety eyes are not connected you need to ho;d the button down until it reaches the close linit.
