I agree with the last comment. I played around with the sensor light that was yellow to no change. It’s cleaner now than I’ve ever seen it but my problem was something to do with the remote. I gently cleaned off the inside of the remote, and then it started working again. One of the sensor lights remained yellow as it started to work again.
Great video. I was able to get my garage door back working! Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information ! It really helped. My sensors weren’t aligned properly
Thanks Bro just fixed my garage door following your instruction. My wife was happy and got lucky because now I'm smart:) I'll give you credit but can't tell her yet:) A couple more lucky episodes then I'll let her in on it:) Thanks, man..
This really helped. I didn’t know what was wrong with my garage door until I watched this video. I had a broom blocking the sensor 😂
Thank you for this video!
Fantastic!
Thank you so Much!! Your video really helped. I was able to fix the garage door issue in a minute upon watching it.🙏
That's great! You're welcome!
Good advice. My track was loose and flexed which caused my sensors to misalign at the half way point and the door to go back up.
YOU JUST SAVE ME SOME MONEY THANK YOU YOUR VIDEO IS THE BEST I GOT ON THIS YEAR😊
That's great to hear!
Thank you, fixed my garage 🎉
It worked!! Thank you so much for your video!
Thank you very helpful video. I'll go out and check it.
Thank you for this information I was able to fix. You Rock 💪👍
Super helpful thank you
You're welcome!
excellent
Thank you!!!
Welcome!
This entire video should be taken down and rewritten. He is completely off the mark about this applying to all brands and as far as a yellow light being a problem. My Chamberlain emitter is NORMALLY yellow and receiver is NORMALLY green. A yellow indicator is NOT an issue and has people needlessly changing door sensors in a effort to get rid of a yellow indicator!
Thank you problem solved
also, check the bottom of your garage door as it's going down. I had a leaf caught in a cobweb that kept triggering my sensor 😅
Question, about 6 months ago I had a motion light installed outside of my garage, 2 times in the past month I woke up in the middle of the night the light was on, and the garage door was open. I close the door and the motion light outside the door goes out. The light is mounted above the garage door on center, outside. Can the motion light somehow trigger the garage door to open??
I have one green and one red.. Still don't open but red one flashes if its interfering it but its solid red when nothing does.
How much power to the sensors is sufficient power?
Does each sensor have a display light or only one? If I have a green light on one sensor does that mean they are working? I don’t see a light on the other one
Presently my receive sensor led light does not go dark if I block the lens and does not stop the door from closing. Is this a bad sensor?
One of the sensor light is suppose to be yellow the other would be green.
Clean the sensor lens & make sure both sensors are aligned
I have solid lights on both, cleaned them and they are aligned. My door still closes to about a foot to the ground than stops and comes back up. What else could it be
so my sensors are okay, but suddenly, the craftsman garage door opener stopped operating, and the yellow led is slowly blinking, why suggestions? It seems like the control unit that is attached to the wall is not responding, for some reason. Only lights get turned on when you cross the sensor path.
Is this yellow light could Lead to the garage door open by itself problem?
15 years and a Loose wire in the opener, thankyou
Why would 1 light on one side be yellow, and the other side be green?
Yellow = Emitter or "sender", Green = receiver. This is normal.
In my case one censor is green and other yellow, what does that mean?
1 light is green other is yellow but the garage door still goes up and down but the yellow light is killing me any ideas beside what u already said clean lenses ?
Both the yellow and green lights should be steady on. If the sensors are not aligned properly, the green light will blink or be off entirely. The yellow light never blinks.
I'm getting an error although my light is solid green and solid yellow its telling me it's misaligned. Normally when the light is blinking green is out of alignment but it's solid and I'm still getting the error code normally I can fix it by adjusting but this time the light is solid green and it's still not closing
No no no! A yellow light on one side is correct and normal. One side will be green the other yellow or red depending on brand. A yellow light does NOT mean malfunction or miss alignment. A blinking light means alignment issue or wiring issue. Aligning the sensors will not change the light's color please correct your info!
So can you tell us the correct way to fix it bro
You just saved me a lot of time. Walked out to go to work and the garage door wouldn’t close with my clicker. Saw one green light, one yellow light, assumed it was misaligned or wiring went bad. Saw your comment immediately and realized it was the clicker!
@@thekbops Original presenter said this works with any opener - Liftmaster, Chamberlain or Genie. That is incorrect. With a yellow light on a current Chamberlains - there is no fix, it isn't broken. The emitter (sending unit) has an amber LED that is always lit, the receiver (receiving sensor) has a green LED. If the light beam is interrupted, the receiver will start blinking. This interruption can be an object or dirty/misaligned emitters/receivers.
Sensors work, but there no power to garage door, any suggestions?
@@deem4735 So how do the sensors work if there is no power to the garage door opener? The sensors get their power from the garage door opener.
The issue is these garage door sensors are so outdated in their technology. Take a look at a sensor that can solve the sun issue, alignment issue, coverage issue and also help guide your car in the garage! Let me know if you want to give this a try?
i think my problem is with alignment, but why is one side green and the other side yellow, would it be like this if they aren't aligned?
1 yellow, 1 green is normal and corect. yellow sends, green receives. google it.
I’ve a Legacy garage door opener. It opens fine. But, when trying to go back down to close it. It gets all the way to the very bottom almost about 1’ left & then starts to go back up. I believe it has something to do with sensors being off? But, looking at how the light is red” on one side & green on the other the sensors both seem to be aligned fine. No blinking. Could this be a adjustment issue or spring? I had to recently changed the capacitor do to it smelling like electrical smoke & sounding like it was frying.
I’m lost at this point now as what to do next?
thanks. there is yellow light in the sensor ...
everything wok ok, but one green and one yellow led, what is that mean
Dude when does light change back to green?
This dam garage door got me so pissed
Phuuuuk
Right … When it works, life is great
SO I TRIED CLEANING THE SENSOR'S AND I TRIED TO ALIGN IT, BUT IT WONT CHANGE TO GREEN
Is the garage door malfunctioning still?
One sensor is green, the other is orange/amber
only one Needs to be green other should be yellow
i thought One had to be Green and One had to be Yellow??
Hi do you want to try our product? Addresses the sensor problems, light, lack of coverage, alignment all technology limited with the current sensors
I have the liftmaster 8500w opener and these sensors go bad about every 5 months to a year. The garage door techs don't understand why
I have 2 doors. 1) On both doors one sensor is yellow the other is green. 2) I took the sensors off and cleaned them thoroughly. 3) Placed them back and still having the same issuses. The garage door will not stay shut. It atemps to close but will not. One sensor remains green the other yellow. Anyone else having this issue?
no
Could this be the problem for the remotes not working as well.
My batteries work in the remotes
@@Femalegold4294 You should have a wall-mounted button that is connected directly to a power supply. If you do, use that instead of the remote.
@@GoodHomeAutomation I’m until I can get the remotes fixed. I tried do as you stated in the video it didn’t work.
So should they both be green???
I have one sensor green and the other yellow. No matter what I do I can't get the yellow one to go green. After messing with it, the door just started closing properly, but it's still lit up yellow, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@bstar777777… One is green, the other is yellow/amber/orange … Colors don’t change unless you’re being funny
1 solid yellow, 1 solid green is normal and correct. Yellow sends the signal, green receives it. google it.
One light on left is a solid green light & other side is yellow solid light..!! Garage door opens fine but won’t close, it starts to close but then goes up, light blinks ten times and stops. I override using my wall controller to close the door. Can you suggest what’s going on?? Thankx appreciate much..!!
Having the same issue. :( any luck?
@@hryou1 Nope, I was hoping this TH-camr would reply but no response..!!!
Contacted Chamberlain customer service: Hmm. Not sure why its doing this with the app and not remote as this typically is due to a sensor issue. Lets try resetting the sensor
To reset:
1. Remove the wingnut holding the sensor with the green LED
2. Point the sensor to the floor for about 10 seconds (LED will go out)
3. After 10 seconds bring the sensor back into the bracket getting the LED to go back solid then re-install the wingnut
4. Try closing the door from your remote (not the wired wall button) and see if the door now closes or still reverses back open with the light bulbs flashing
I have not seen this issue before, please let me know if you were able to fix it and I can update the article and video
@@b9217s yellow light won't go out
Unfortunately none of this worked for me..my sensor is still yellow on one side..i think i need a new sensor
Did you replace yellow light sensor ? Did it work ?
@What’s Going on no I haven't replaced it yet
@Rudyard no shit really? That's funny AF.. I've tried adjusting mine and I still can't get it to work properly I guess I'm gonna have to change them..is there a way to reset them?
@@bbrad628… I don’t know about main sensor … The amber/orange is the sender, the green is the receiver … There’s a steady beam between the two … Put an object on either sensor, beam is broken & door will not close
@@cannabisoutlawz… Check to see, no wires are being touched when door is closing … Get a pad for your knees & make sure sensor wires are out of the way
ITS A WING NUT
NOT A LUG NUT MS. ROOKIE
Goodness, just GET TO THE POINT
Too much talking .... Your title should be HOW TO FIX GARAGE PROBLEMS and not just the yellow light .. !!
