Why a garage door remote won't close even with a fresh battery
A remote sending a clean signal doesn't guarantee the door closes — the opener still has to receive that signal, check the sensors are clear, and run the motor down through its full travel. A dead spot in any one of those steps looks the same from the driveway: press the button, nothing happens, or the door starts down and stops. Swapping batteries is the easy first step, but if the remote still won't close the door after that, the problem has moved past the clicker itself.

What a garage door remote won't close call in Woodloch usually traces back to
During Hurricane Harvey, the San Jacinto River sent 3 to 8 feet of water through every home in town, a flood made worse by a record release of 79,000 cubic feet of water per second from Lake Conroe. An opener receiver, logic board, or antenna wire that sat in that water may have kept working for a while afterward on a weakened connection, and a remote that's grown unreliable or stopped closing the door altogether years later is often that same corrosion finally catching up with the circuit board rather than a fresh, unrelated failure.
A garage door remote won't close and a shrinking town's older openers
Woodloch's population has fallen steadily, from 351 residents in 1980 down to 186 at the 2020 census, and a town that isn't building many new houses isn't installing many new openers either. That leaves more of Woodloch's garages running receivers and logic boards that are simply old, on top of whatever damage the 2017 flood already did, so a garage door remote won't close complaint here carries more than the usual odds of pointing at aging opener electronics instead of a bad remote.
Don't keep swapping batteries or mashing the button if the door still won't respond — that wastes time better spent finding whether the fault is in the remote, the receiver, or the sensors.
