[quote Chupa Chupa]My door lift all the sudden refused to go down. (It still goes up). On closer inspection I noticed on of the safety sensors near the ground was not lighting up. No red, no green. Nothing. The other sensor is lit green.
I'm assuming it's a dead sensor BUT could it be a more serious (un-repairable) problem with the door opener unit itself? I can fix the former, but I'll have to have a pro out to replace the unit if its the later. We had a bad storm a few days ago so I'm wondering if that screwed something up. I just hate to waste the gas to go to find a sensor if the entire unit is dead. I'll go nuts without a garage lift much longer so I want to get this done ASAP. IF The Lift was dead, it would not move.
It is the sensor.
Dead or Misaligned.
