Misalignments may be corrected by bending the sensors back into position or tightening the screws of the bracket holding the unit in place. If there seems to be no easy fix, a garage door professional can troubleshoot the problem and determine the best course of action to fix it.  If you decide to try to fix the sensor on your own, make sure the area is shaded and disconnect the power to the sensors. Call a technician if you suspect a wiring problem. You won’t be able to access wiring inside the sensor casing; only a specialist knows how to properly address this problem and replacement of the sensor system may be required.

Garage door sensors also have built in functions to let you know there’s a problem. Dirty sensors, misalignments, or damaged components can cause sensors to malfunction.

As a result, the door may work erratically. If a sensor malfunctions, the door might suddenly stop and reverse for no reason, open but not close, or a light may flash on the sensor, from an overhead component, or the wall panel.
