Craftsman Garage Door Opener not working

15 years ago

Appreciate any help on this issue. I have a Craftsman 1/2 HP Chain Drive opener and I have to hold down the inside buttom or the outside keyless entry the whole time to get the door to close. I realigned the sensors where both of them are on constantly and it still requires me to hold down the button the whole time. Remote will not work as a result.

The light on the wall of the garage is yellow and the other sensor's light is green. Interested in any thoughts on what the issue is.

If the main light on the opener turns on 10 times when you try to close the door it is a sensor problem. Make sure the light on each sensor is on and not flickering.
