A garage door remote won't close the door when pressing the button does nothing, or the door starts down and then stops or reverses before it ever seats on the floor. Sometimes the remote itself has lost its signal to the opener; other times the remote is fine and the opener is refusing to finish the cycle because of a sensor or limit setting. This fault is one of several covered under Montrose TX garage door repair.

If the wall button closes the door fine but the remote doesn't, the problem sits with the remote or receiver rather than the sensors.

When the garage door remote won't close the door on one of these older setups, a worn receiver board or a remote that's never been properly paired to it is often the actual cause, not a dead battery.
