Safety reversing sensors wire open (broken or disconnected).

Each sensor has a solid white wire and a white wire with black tracer.

The solid white wires go to terminal 2 and the wires with the black tracer go to terminal 3.

It could be the garage door motor that is acting up. Try closing it with the button in the garage. If that's not the case, you may need a different garage door opener.

The garage door cannot close

DOES THE DOOR START AND THEN STOP WITH THE LIGHT FLASHING??

IF SO YOUR SAFETY EYES ARE NOT WORKING - YOU CAN CLOSE THE DOOR BY HOLDING DOWN THE WALL BUTTON.

IF THIS WORKS THE PROBLEM IS DEFINATLY IN THE EYES OR WIRING

steve it sounds like the two eyes are not lined up to communicate with one another and complete the circuit so the door will work. This is a safety feature. Begin by seeing if adjusting the eyes will line them up and tuen on both green lights. Also be sure the wire to each light is still connected.

Chamberlian garge door opener only closes by holding down wall push button,no lights at safty sensors

Probably a broken wire to one of the sensors. Holding down the wall button overrides the sensors.

If you move the wires at the back of the power unit and at the sensors watch for the sensor lights to flicker. - If they do the wires you just moved are the problem.

If moving the wires doesn't help you will need to trace the wires & watch for a broken wire loose connection etc.

Hope this helps
