Genie garage door safety sensor not working.

Cycle the garage door through the opening and closing actions using the control on the garage wall or the remote unit from a vehicle. A common cause of a malfunctioning garage door sensor is lack of power supply. Luckily you can set most automatic garage doors to a manual mode to bypass the sensors. For safety purposes do check the sensors of the garage doors are working correctly or not.

You will find that the door will only move an inch or so in the close direction and reverse. Make sure the carriage is engaged. If one or both of the lights are off check the fuses breakers and plugs for problems. Two types of accidental obstructions can cause the safety sensor to prevent a garage door from closing.

If you feel any kind of disturbance call an expert. If it is be sure that the lenses are mounted five to six inches from the floor on either side of the garage door opening. You can also disconnect the sensors altogether but doing this will prevent most garage doors from working. If the problem persists check to see if the red safe t beam led indicator is blinking.

If not re engage it. If you find the lights turned off in one or both the sensors it indicates that there is a problem in power supply. If your sensors or garage door motor is blinking or your door doesn t close it s a sign you could have faulty sensors. The transmitters remotes will not work to close the garage door.

If both the red source and green sensor lights are on and not blinking then the door mechanism is working properly. If they re turned on in both the sensors then there is no issue with the power supply. The first is an obstruction in the path of the door and therefore in the path of the sensor. As they are mechanical parts they will need oiling from time to time.

If the door does not close completely without hesitation. If the screw inside the rail us turning and the carraige is engaged but the door is not moving replace the carriage. Look for small led lights on the sensors.
