Broken Garage Door Sensor

GARAGE SENSOR REPAIR

BROKEN GARAGE DOOR SENSOR REPAIR IN NAPERVILLE, IL

Garage door detectors are safety mechanisms that are now included in just about every new garage setup. Typically using a photoelectric eye mounted about 6″ from the ground, these devices have the important job of making sure that your garage door doesn’t accidentally close on your vehicle, children, or pets. To test if your sensor is working correctly, put a roll of paper towels in front of the sensor – if your garage door doesn’t stop before it crushes the towels, it might be time to schedule an appointment with BSD Garage Door.

Common issues that can cause your garage door sensors to malfunction include:

  • Misalignment: If the sensors are not properly aligned, the invisible beam between them will be interrupted, preventing the door from closing.
  • Dirty lenses: Dust, dirt, or cobwebs on the sensor lenses can block the beam, causing the door to behave like an object is in the way.
  • Loose wiring: Over time, the wires connecting the sensors to the garage door opener can become loose or damaged, disrupting the signal.
  • Outdated or damaged sensors: Like any electronic device, garage door sensors can wear out or become outdated, requiring replacement.

TROUBLESHOOTING SENSOR PROBLEMS

Our certified experts will thoroughly investigate your garage door sensor and infrared beam. They will also check the safety sensor wiring for any issues it may have. They will replace the sensors if required and will make sure after servicing your garage door is open and closed correctly after service. Our troubleshooting procedure will find the source of your detector malfunction. Sometimes the problem is merely damage to the photoelectric eye in the form of blunt trauma or humidity. Other times the issue stems from just minor obstructions that inhibit the sensor from operating correctly. Then again, the problem might even be more in-depth than this – such as electrical problems associated with frayed or improper wiring.

SENSORS CAN STILL MALFUNCTION

These detectors can get out of alignment which can cause the door to not stop even when something is in the way. Electrical problems can cause your garage door to stop in mid-operation. Malfunctions like these can range anywhere from mildly annoying to a major safety problem. Because of the risk involved, it is highly recommended to have a professional to look at it as soon as possible.

DAMAGE TO THE PHOTO EYE

High levels of humidity or hitting the detector with your body, your vehicle, or a trashcan can damage the picture eye to the stage where it should be replaced. Other factors that can damage the photo eye include extreme temperatures, pest interference, improper installation, and age-related wear. 

If you suspect your garage door photo eye is damaged, it’s crucial to have it inspected and replaced by a professional. At BSD Garage Door, our skilled technicians can quickly assess your photo eye’s condition and recommend the best action using high-quality, compatible replacement parts to restore your garage door’s safety features fully.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS

As a result of connection issues with the cables that link light-emitting diode lights to the detector interfaces, the detector lights supply or might flash different colour lights that signal improper wiring; so to have it working we must connect the wires connections properly or replace the wires in case is necessary.
