Alignment Is a Common Failure Point
A bumped sensor can lose alignment even when nothing is broken. Brackets, indicator lights and the line across the door opening should be checked before replacement is assumed.
Wiring Can Be Damaged Near the Floor
Low-voltage sensor wires can be cut, pinched or corroded. Repair is limited by the opener system and accessible wiring; internal control-board faults are a different problem.
Sensors Must Match the Opener System
Replacement photo eyes should be compatible with the brand and model. Generic-looking sensors are not automatically interchangeable.
Door Mechanics Still Matter
A sensor can work correctly while a door binds or opener force limits are wrong. Sensor repair should not be used to hide a mechanical garage-door issue.
