    Garage door seņor blinking
    Hi,

    I read that the problem with my garage door not closing could be a problem with the garage door seņor. If I hold down the control the door will shut but if I release it before it shuts then it will start to go up. I noticed that the light on the sending sensor is blinking.

    I was spraying the tracks with a spray because the door needed lubricant and I might have gotten it on the lens.

    CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE TO CLEAN THE LENS TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM?

    Also how can I determine if a beam is being transmitted

    Thanks
    Jacquie

    Hi,
    Some of them blink if not aligned, and will often stop when aligned. That is how the mechanics align them.
    Peace,
