Garage door sensors are essential devices that prevent the door from accidentally closing on a person or object

A garage door sensor is a practical element that will protect your garage door. These sensors sense obstructions and keep the door from shutting on people, animals, and objects. They play an essential role in the safe operation of your garage door.

Signs Your Garage Door Sensors Need Repair

Identifying the signs of faulty garage door sensors early can prevent further issues and ensure safety. Common indicators include:

  • Unresponsive Sensors: The door does not stop or reverse when an object is in its path.
  • Erratic Operation: The door opens or closes unexpectedly or only works intermittently.
  • Indicator Light Issues: The sensor lights are not illuminated or blink continuously.

Common Causes of Garage Door Sensor Problems

Garage door sensors can malfunction due to various reasons, including:

  • Misalignment: Sensors must be aligned properly to function correctly.
  • Dirt and Debris: Accumulation of dirt can obstruct the sensor’s lens.
  • Wiring Issues: Damaged or frayed wires can disrupt the sensor’s operation.

The Dangers of DIY Garage Door Sensor Repair

Attempting to repair garage door sensors on your own can be risky. DIY repairs can lead to:

  • Injury: Improper handling of electrical components can cause shocks or burns.
  • Further Damage: Incorrect repairs can exacerbate the problem, leading to more costly fixes.
