How to fix a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener that won't close?

  Evelyn HarperAug 19, 2025
  If your Chamberlain Garage Door Opener won't close, it might be due to several reasons related to the safety reversing sensors. First, the sensors might not be installed or connected properly, or the wires could be cut; inspect the sensor wires for any disconnections or cuts. Second, there could be a short or reversed wire; check the sensor wire at all staple and connection points, replacing or correcting as needed. Finally, the sensors might be misaligned or momentarily obstructed; realign them to ensure both LEDs are steady and not flickering, and ensure nothing is blocking their path.
