Why a garage door remote won't close the door on the first press

A remote sending a signal doesn't guarantee the door closes — the opener still checks the safety sensors before it lets the door travel all the way down, and it still needs a clean electrical path from the receiver to the motor. If any part of that chain is corroded, misaligned or just worn out, pressing the remote can look like nothing happened at all, or the door can start moving and reverse partway down.

In a city where roughly 80–90% of homes took on floodwater during Hurricane Harvey, opener logic boards, receivers and low-voltage wiring mounted near the garage floor or on the wall were often sitting in standing water for days. Corrosion from that kind of exposure doesn't always show up right away — a board can run fine for years and then start dropping signals intermittently, which is a common reason a garage door remote won't close a door that used to work fine on the same remote.
