Genie garage door opens but will not close.

This is one of the sensors. Genie openers apply only limited force to the garage door during closing. If your garage door won t close all the way the problem could be due to a blocked photo eye. If something is blocking their view typically the lights will flash and the door will not close.

There are a pair of little plastic things at the bottom of the rail pointing at each other usually between 6 and 12 off the floor. If an operational problem exists and the garage door opener will not close the opener can be forced to close. They are optically coupled to the electronics of the door opener. Please try again later.

You have a bad sensor or a bad wire to the sensor. The photo eye components consist of two pieces that align face to face across each side of the garage door roughly four feet above the ground. The majority of garage doors manufactured since the early 1990s are equipped with this safety feature. The interactive transcript could not be loaded.

This feature is not available right now. Door starts down then stops before it is closed. One sends a beam of infra red light to the other. In order to fix this you ll want to make small changes to the close limit setting until the door opener knows to stop once the door has reached the floor.

Check garage door for binding. You will find that the door will only move an inch or so in the close direction and reverse. The transmitters remotes will not work to close the garage door. Turn the close force dial in small increments until the garage door reaches the ground when you hit the close button on the remote.

If your garage door is closing fully and then reversing to open again then it may be due to a problem with the close limit switch. The problem is either due to a blocked path between the sensors dirty eyes loose wires at the sensors or at the motor head or just bad sensors. If anything interrupts this beam of light the garage door will not close and the ceiling light on the opener mechanism will flash as mentioned in the previous step. Check for interference from adjacent photo eye sensors of any brand.
