      If your Chamberlain garage door won't close and the motor unit light bulbs blink, it's likely due to the safety reversing sensor not being correctly connected or aligned. Make sure the safety sensors are properly installed, aligned, and free of any obstructions.

      If your Chamberlain garage door remote control isn't working, first verify that the lock feature is not activated on the door control. If the lock feature is not the issue, try reprogramming the remote control. If the remote still doesn't activate the door, check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener itself is functioning correctly.

Check the travel module connections and replace the travel module if needed, or realign the safety sensors to ensure their LEDs are steady and not flickering, while also removing any obstructions from their path.
