More about this in Spring Valley Village
When a garage door remote won't close the door even though it clearly received the signal — the opener light flickers or the motor starts — the remote itself usually isn't the problem. Something downstream, most often a safety sensor or a force setting, is stopping the close cycle after it's already been triggered.
