More about this in Brookshire

A broken garage door sensor has failed outright — cracked housing, a dead LED that no longer lights, or internal damage that no amount of realignment will fix. Unlike a sensor that's just misaligned, a broken one needs replacing before the door will close reliably again. The main page on residential garage door repair Brookshire lists every problem this site covers here.

Call (346) 220-4724 to get a failed sensor replaced and the pair realigned.

What separates a broken garage door sensor from a misaligned one

A misaligned sensor still works once it's pointed correctly at its pair; a broken one shows no light at all, or flickers erratically regardless of alignment. A broken garage door sensor gets replaced rather than adjusted, since a failed internal component doesn't respond to realignment.

Hurricane Harvey left much of the area around the river under several feet of water in Brookshire, with flooding centered where Interstate 10 crosses the Brazos River near town. A sensor that took water in that event, or in flooding since, can fail years later as corrosion finally reaches a critical connection point inside the housing.

Broken garage door sensor in Brookshire's lower-lying sections

A broken garage door sensor traced to corrosion rather than a clean mechanical failure often turns up in exactly those sections.
