Garage Door Needs Button Has To Be Held

It is a craftsman.

Garage door needs button has to be held.

My garage door will open by just pressing the button once but to close it i have to hold in the button until it fully closes. Within this 30 second time period press and hold the button on the hand held remote. When i disconnect the carriage and manually move door it seems to move smoothly in both directions. The learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds.

I tried resetting them but now the large button opens both doors at the same time. You are overriding the infrared beam sensor when you hold down the wall button continuously while the garage door is closing. Press and release the learn button on the overhead garage door opener unit. When you can close the door with the wall button by holding it down.

Even after putting new batteries in the remote the garage door still is not. Garage door won t close unless button is held. When i returned from work today i pushed the button on my remote garage door opener but the door didn t budge. So if you have to do this to close the door it means the sensor is malfunctioning.

Next release the button when the overhead opener unit s lights blink. 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. The wall button and remote work fine for opening door but i have to hold down the wall button to close it. They can easily become mis aligned due to bumping twisting and loose mounting.

One of the sensor lights will usually be blinking when there is a malfunction. A small amount and the door returns that is the sign of the safety sensor system.
