Garage door opener not working

Sooner Exterior Home Services

If the remote works and the wall button does not, it is the low-voltage wire at the button. If neither works, check power and the photo eyes before the opener head.

Openers made before 1993 lack the photo-eye reversing sensors federal law has required since. Test yours: wave a broom handle through the opening near the floor while it closes. It must reverse. Chain drive gearboxes use a nylon gear that strips and is a repairable part.
