Garage door will open with remotes, but not with the wall switch

Wall switch has green light so it is getting power, but will not open or close garage door. Both remotes will open and close garage door. The door sensors sporadically turn on lights as well.

Sure sounds like the wall control is bad. Very common problem.

My Liftmaster Wall Control (Large White Button) green light is not illuminated and I cannot open/close my garage. Remotes work fine. Which part needs replacement?

They have self diagnostic features and are 'smart'. Make sure there is nothing near the two door sensors and make sure they are clean. No model number given, but generic help in the link.

The green light on the wall switch is blinking constantly yet it works to open/close the door. The remote does not work. Any suggestions?

Press and hold the lock button on the wall control for 3 seconds. The light will stop blinking and your remotes will work.

Okay, I'm having an issue with my Sears Craftsman garage door opener. Not exactly sure of the model number, but can dig it up if that's necessary. Symptoms: 1) Door opens fine from either wall button or...

It sounds like you have a problem with your wall button. I would remove the button from the wall and then disconnect the 2 wires on the back. Remember where they go as they are color coded. You can then momentarily touch the two wires together to check the operation. There isn't enough voltage there to bother you.

One thing to remember. If when the door reverses the main light flashes 10 times it is a door sensor problem and nothing else.

Pressing remotes the door won't go u[

It sounds like you have the lock enguaged. When it is flashing it locks out all remote access. Hold the lock button for 3 seconds. The green light should go solid. On the issue of closing, it is most likely a safety eye issue. Hold down the wall button. If it closes it is the safety eyes. Holding the button overrides the safety eyes. Make sure that thelight on both eyes are both lit.

Chamberlain Liftmaster Pro. Garage door Problems closing

The sensor eye - or more likely, the other end, the sensor light - probably got knocked out of alignment. The eye should have an LED on it - possibly one that glows green when it's ready to close or red when it's obstructed or out of alignment. Try adjusting the light until the LED on the receiver glows green.
