Garage Door Will Not Close — Columbus

The door starts down, stops, and goes back up - or will not move at all.

What it usually means in Columbus

In central Ohio the winter version is a bottom seal stuck or frozen to the slab, which the opener reads as an obstruction and reverses away from. It looks exactly like a sensor fault and is not one. The other common cause here is a photo-eye knocked out of alignment during snow clear-out, because the eyes sit at exactly the height a shovel or snowblower gets swung past. Check both eye lights are steady and check for ice under the door before assuming the opener has failed.
