| Okay, here is my complex problem: I have a Sears ½ hp garage unit with 2 remotes.
At this time my remotes will open my garage door as normal but will not close it, the unit clicks and the unit light blinks for a few seconds and then turns off. The wall unit will also open my door with a touch but will only close it if I keep my hand on it. when I touch the wall unit to close it, it goes a few inches and then returns back to the regular up position. WHATS UP! Thank you,

| It is sensing an obstruction or possibly excessive down force required. Check your electric eye sensors first. |

| Make sure your door sensors have not been bumped and that they are pointed at one another. Each one has a small light that must be on and not flickering for them to work. If you cannot get both lights to come on you may have a bad sensor or wiring leading to them. |

| Thanks for the directions. It ended up that one side were the plastic sensor was lose and hanging down preventing a clear line to the other side. Just straigthened and tightened wing nut. Perfect. |
