More about this in Klein

A garage door sensor not working means the door stops partway down, reverses back up before it touches the floor, or refuses to close at all even though the opener motor runs fine. It's almost never the opener itself — it's one of the two small sensors near the floor no longer seeing the other, or a wire feeding them that's gone bad. There is a wider write-up on garage door company Klein that covers the other faults too.

Call (346) 220-4724 and a crew working the Klein area will find which sensor is the problem before touching anything else.

What a garage door sensor not working looks like from the driveway

One sensor usually shows a solid light and the other blinks, or both go dark, and the door either stops a few inches from the floor or won't start closing at all. The opener isn't broken in that situation — it's doing exactly what it's built to do, which is refuse to close the door any time it can't confirm the beam between the two sensors is unbroken.

Your garage door sensor quit working in Klein, TX: a service call at a Texas farmhouse

More than 8,700 homes flooded along Cypress Creek during Hurricane Harvey, with another 1,700 flooded in the April 2016 Tax Day flood, and Ponderosa Forest and Westador are named among the hardest-hit neighborhoods in both events. A sensor or its wiring that sat in standing water during either flood can keep working for a while afterward and then fail once corrosion finally reaches the connection point, which is why a sensor problem on a home in one of those streets deserves a wiring check even if the sensor itself still lights up.
