I recently noticed that my garage door was not closing when I pressed the remote button. At first, I thought it was an issue with the remote, but after replacing the batteries, the problem persisted.

I then realized that it could be an issue with the sensors, so I decided to test them based from Garage Door Repair Denison TX.

The first thing I did was clear the area around the sensors. I removed any debris or objects that were blocking them. Next, I made sure that the power to the garage door opener was turned on and checked the LED lights on the sensors. The LED light on one of the sensors was not illuminated, which indicated that there was an issue with that sensor.

To test the sensors further, I used a cardboard box to simulate an obstruction in the path of the door. I placed the box in front of one of the sensors and attempted to close the door using the remote. The door did not close, and the opener beeped to indicate that there was an obstruction. I repeated this process for the other sensor, and the door did not close again.

Since the door did not close with either sensor, I suspected that it was an alignment issue. I used a level to ensure that both sensors were level and pointed directly at each other. After adjusting the sensors, I retested them with the cardboard box. This time, the door did not close when the box was in front of the sensors, which indicated that the sensors were now functioning correctly.

Finally, I cleaned the lenses of the sensors with a soft, dry cloth and tested them again to ensure that they were still functioning properly. This time, the door closed without any issues.

In conclusion, based from Garage Door Repair Denison TX, testing garage door sensors is an essential part of garage door maintenance. By following these steps, I was able to identify and fix an issue with my sensors and ensure that my garage door was operating safely. Regular testing and maintenance of garage door sensors can help prevent accidents and ensure that your garage door operates efficiently.
