1. Check the door sensors to see if they are properly aligned

  2. Check to see if the sensors are properly aligned on the door.
  3. If the sensors are not properly aligned, adjust the sensors until they are in alignment.
  4. Re-check the door sensor alignment.

2. If the door sensors are not the issue, check to see if there is something blocking the garage door from closing

  1. Make sure all the garage door sensors are properly installed and working.
  2. Check to see if anything is blocking the garage door from closing.
  3. Try to manually close the garage door by pulling on the handle.
  4. If the garage door still does not close properly, then the issue may be with the garage door opener.

3. If there is nothing blocking the garage door, check the springs and cables to see if they need to be adjusted or replaced

If there is nothing blocking the garage door, the first step would be to check the springs and cables. If these are in good condition, the next step would be to check the door opener. If the door opener is not the problem, the garage door may need to be serviced.

4. If the springs and cables are not the issue, check the garage door opener itself to see if it needs to be reset or replaced

If the springs and cables are not the issue, check the garage door opener itself to see if it needs to be reset or replaced.
