So after stripping an end on the wire, I was able to get a teeny wire-nut on it & plug in the drive again — and BINGO — amber sensor light. It has been driving me crazy for a month. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liftmaster-41D4674-10H-41D4674-20-Receiver-Logic-Board-for-2000SDR-1000SDR/141769199549. The Solution: Adjusting the Protector System® sensors fixed my problem and the door now operates correctly. Thanks a lot! The following comes from the User’s manual: The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless of alignment or obstruction. Thank you very much! after opening the door they go off. I wish had found this blog a month ago!! Maybe it's time to refinish your deck or add some new decorative touches to your tired deck. Don’t just assume that if the path is clear that the sensors are ok. I’m a 71 year-old woman and was able to fix this in 2 minutes. Our will open but not close and has 2 safety sensors and only one has a green light ,could this be my problem . Do this by pulling on the handle hanging on a cord from the opener carriage that rides along the rail overhead. Want to save 10% on a major purchase at Lowe's? If they use a coded system, make sure the code translation is not in their vehicle. is the receiving sensor bad? if so how do i do this? After 1 cycle (close then open)the door stops on the way down about 3 feet off the ground. One of the sensors is a sending unit (shoots the light out) and the other is a receiver which ‘catches’ the light beam. i align the sender beam out of alighnment ,yet the receiving sensor stays green. I tried adjusting everything and re programming the remotes. I checked the manual, since the light did not flicker when the door reversed itself in the downward motion, i increased the force screw on the down motion on the opener unit in the back, one notch at a time, in clockwise direction, until the door went down without reversing. One door would raise with remotes, but would not go back down except with the wall switch held firmly till the door went all the way to the floor. A couple additional thoughts: this issue could also be caused by short-circuit, bad contact, wrong wiring or broken wire from the safety sensor system to the garage opener. So this winter when I started having trouble with my door opener I was a bit puzzled and frustrated. A button that is even slightly stuck can trigger the garage door. For people who believe the circuit board needs replacement. If the green indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed), alignment is required. What makes it go as far as the sensor then go back up? If you’re not able to fix [or align] the sensors.. Is there anyway to disconnect the sensors, and just use the remote control to open/close the garage door? Thanks alot for the tip. Hopefully this might help someone else. It start’s and runs 6-10″ and reverses back open. The torque is set to max and still won’t work. • The model number label is located behind the hinged door of your opener. I had the same problem.

Once I pushed it back in place all worked fine. thanks for the info, about an 1/8″ off on alignment, wouldn’t think that small amount would matter but that was the problem. • If the garage door opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor. Thanks for your help! Is there another remedy? Lock in place. Fiddled with it tried to realign to make it light, but nothing. I’ve been a huge fan of LiftMaster Garage Door Openers for years. I wonder if the light sensor interferes the signal from the remote whenever there is electric circuit going through the light bulb unit. This most likely indicates that the garage door sensors are out of alignment, or there is something in the way of the sensors. Garage door wouldn’t close with the remote and I was going nuts trying to figure it out. The senors indication lights stay on steady. I just spent a good chunk of money on really nice LED bulbs. If this happens repair the mechanical problem causing the drag and reengage the door using the cord and determine if the opener works correctly. Some LED bulbs generate radio signals that interfere with the remote “closing” signal. I ran into problems when I put in an LED bulb into the lift unit. Eventually I read the string here on the LED bulbs emitted a “radio” type wave and that they interfered with the signal from the remote. What’s your advice? got the chain back on and the door closed and opened. Thank you very much for the clear and easy fix. Apparently when I would roll out recycling I would nudge it and knock it out of whack. However, the remote would not be able to close the door even if you held the button. Someone had kinda taped it together (I suspect the chain cut it sometime), and upon closer examination I realized those wrapped wires were not connected. The Problem: The door would always open fine but then would have trouble closing. After reading this page, I went out and looked at the sensors. Door will not shut and both lights are out on the sensors. Is there anything stuck in the track? Hope this works for you. Works fine now with remote and wall button. Years ago garage door openers were required to utilize safety sensors to prevent doors from closing on small children. Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. Thanks for posting the alignment tips. Door would open but not shut. Mentioned there might be an antenna booster available. I guess they put out a signal that blocks the closing code from my vehicles. I apparently bumped it (by the walk in door) the other side a can had fallen on it. Luckily there was no charge. That wonderful electric liftmaster 8500 surely doesn’t seem so wonderful, all of a sudden. I bought my house about 6 years ago and the garage opener worked flawlessly until last week, when it stopped closing correctly. Any ideas? I took out the bulb, and it worked fine. this has been driving me crazy. Your advice solved our garage door problem immediately. Thanks for posting. My small golf cart garage door will not close with remote but will open & both lights are on Amber & green so they are in line also changed battery in remote? Turns out the green receiving light was loose and flickering. You saved me a lot of money. Checked to make sure the green is steady and it is. I have the opposite problem: doors will close but not open.
