Have To Hold Down Garage Door Button To Open

Why do i have to hold down the button to close the garage door.

Have to hold down garage door button to open.

Tuesday june 26 2018 you are overriding the infrared beam sensor when you hold down the wall button continuously while the garage door is closing. Some garage door receivers have a motor overload protector that shuts down with repeated attempts to open the door. Hold your transmitter up near the selected button pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in car transmitter button simultaneously. This sets the in car transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter but you are not done.

My garage door will not close unless i hold the button down. To open my garage door i have to hold down the button on my wall until the door is at least halfway up. I tried resetting them but now the large button opens both doors at the same time. Hold down on the buttons until the in car red light flashes rapidly.

Garage door will only open if i hold the opener button. I have a genie intellicode. It just opens an inch and stops. When the door is up the sensor lights are off.

So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning. I ve made sure there are no obstacles and that the sensors are aligned properly. I have 2 craftsman 1 2 hp door openers each car has a remote and i am trying to get my remote to open with the large button on the remote and my wife s door to open with the other button. Generally 30 minutes of inactivity will allow most models enough time to reset.

The remotes do not work the same and will not open the door at all. If i lift my finger off the button before that point the door will stop and then i have to press the button again and the door will go back down. After i hold the button down to close it the sensor lights come back on. The remote control in my car will not work at all.
