More about this in Jacinto City

A garage door reversing partway down is the opener responding to something it doesn't like — a blocked sensor, a resistance reading it's reading as an obstruction, or a door that isn't traveling straight in its tracks. It almost never means the opener itself is failing; it means something along the door's path is telling it to stop.

Why a garage door reversing before it closes usually starts at the sensors

Two sensors sit low on either side of the track, aimed at each other a few inches off the floor. Anything crossing that beam — dust, a stray box, glare, a loose wire — tells the opener the path isn't clear, and it sends the door back up instead of letting it finish. That single cause accounts for a large share of reversing calls before anyone looks at anything else on the door.

A door that took on water years ago and has since had its rollers, brackets or bottom hardware corrode is a door that binds unevenly as it travels, and an opener reading that bind as an obstruction will reverse the door rather than force it through.
