If your door starts down, then reverses and goes right back up, the problem usually isn't the door or the opener. It's the two small sensors sitting about six inches off the ground on either side of the opening.
Every residential opener made since January 1, 1993 is required to have them. They shoot an invisible beam across the doorway, and if anything interrupts it, the door refuses to close. That includes a cobweb, a smudge of dust on the lens, a bike leaned against the bracket, or afternoon sun hitting the lens at the wrong angle.
Wipe both lenses with a dry cloth and make sure they're pointed straight at each other. If one light is blinking, it's out of alignment. If they're clean, aligned, and it still reverses, the wiring or the opener logic board is next, and that's where we come in.
