Garage Door Opener Closes Then Opens

If your garage door opener closes then opens, there are a few possible causes. One possibility is that the safety sensors are misaligned. These sensors are located on either side of the garage door and they emit a beam of light. If the beam of light is interrupted, the door will automatically open. To check if the safety sensors are misaligned, simply open and close the door manually. If the door opens and closes smoothly, then the sensors are probably aligned correctly.

Another possible cause for your garage door opener closing then opening is a problem with the logic board. The logic board is the brain of the garage door opener and it controls all of the functions of the door. If the logic board is malfunctioning, it can cause the door to open and close erratically.

Finally, a loose or broken wire can also cause your garage door opener to close then open. Check all of the wires that are connected to the opener and make sure that they are securely connected. If you find any loose or broken wires, simply reconnect them or replace them with new wires.

Here are some additional tips on how to troubleshoot a garage door opener that closes then opens:

Make sure that the remote control is working properly. Try using a different remote to see if the problem persists.

Check the batteries in the remote control. If the batteries are low, the remote may not be able to send a strong enough signal to the opener.

Restart the garage door opener. This can be done by unplugging the opener from the power outlet and then plugging it back in.

If you have tried all of the above troubleshooting tips and the problem persists, you may need to call a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
