Single mom, sensors were dirty and cleaned them. Worked like a charm! Thank you!!

I am so BEYOND grateful for this video. I can’t believe I fixed my garage 😂 it was a sensor that was loose and facing a different direction… I didn’t even KNOW those sensors were even there until this video. Thank you zillions for saving me a fortune that I definitely didn’t need to spend! Amazing

You're my figgin hero this morning! My garage door hasn't closed without me holding down the button until it's fully closed for MONTHS! LOL! Someone sweeping must have pulled the wire out from one of the sensors. I reconnected the wire and it closed just fine. Thanks sooo much for making this video! Free access to information is one of the most valuable and powerful things the inter webs have to offer us.

Great vid but wonder if it can help with this particular anomaly after re-engaging? : Mine's a brand new garage door (I'd also been moving stuff in to store). My girlfriend didn't leave her key fob so I had to open the garage manually. I re-engaged the part that pulls back the garage door but the door is now only half closing?! i.e. I note the travelling white part (that engages the black metal mechanism part of the door) is stopping about two feet away from where it should - hence the door no longer shutting. I definitely haven't broken anything but that re-engaged white part refuses to travel back to it's further forward original position. Any extra help is welcome before I try tomorrow...!

Just wanted to say- I’m a single, first time homeowner with not a lot of repair knowledge. After watching this video I was able to fix my door after adjusting the electrical wire in the sensor (the light was not on- no power) after a quick adjustment, light came on and garage door went down! THANK YOU SO MUCH, you saved me so much money!!🙂

Excellent advice, fixed my door in less than a minute after watching this video. Thanks!

Thank you so much. My garage door wouldn't close but you said to check the sensors I did and now it's working. You are awesome!😊 👍

Thank you so much you saved the day. I hit my sensor and didn't know it. I was about to call someone until I found this video. I realigned my sensors and the light quit flashing. From the bottom of my heart ❤ I truly THANK YOU.

Thank you. Watching your video just saved me about $100 service call. I discovered a wire had been pulled out of nut. Easy fix and now my garage door will close. Thanks again for providing this helpful advice.

Well-done and helpful video! I've had to adjust the sensors on occasion when they had been bumped and misaligned, but was stumped when the door would open but not go down more than a couple of inches. After viewing your video I looked more closely at the wire connections to the sensors and discovered that 1 wire had come slightly loose but it was not readily apparent upon a casual visual inspection. After reconnecting it, the sensor lights came back on and the door closes properly again. I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge so that others can benefit from it. And your explanations and visual examples were clear and easy to follow. Thanks!

Another success story! Thanks so much for sharing this video with us. Fixed the issue in a matter of a few mins.

Hello Adam. I had the misalignment problem that you perfectly described I followed your directions and fixed it right away. Thank you, thank you thank you! I truly appreciate it and just subscribed to your channel.

Thank you so much! Mom and I were able to fix the problem. It was the sensors, they were off balance. Keep up the awesome work! 😊

Also if you have direct sunlight hitting one of the beams, that will cause your door to not shut! I just found this out with my door! I put a piece of cardboard near the sensor to shade it, and it works perfect now. That sun would hit that beam every year in the month of February, just at the right angle to interfere with the electric beam!
