11. Door does not close, light on garage door opener flashing:

- Check The Protector System. Both sensors must be aligned or aimed
across the door opening without any beam obstruction. Remove any
obstruction or align both sensors.
- Check for spider webs and/or dirty lenses. Wipe clean.
- Make sure both LED lights are solid on each sensor housing.
- Check safety sensor wiring and connections to the power head unit.
Repair as necessary.
- Check for diagnostic flashing code "1". Located at the power head unit.
- Try replacing safety sensors. Retest.
