Garage Door Moment

A couple days ago my garage door stopped working.  It would barely move then retract as if something was in the way when I pushed the button.  I contacted the company Lift Master through their online service and explained what I “thought” the problem was. I thought the sensors weren’t working because one lit yellow and one lit green (but flickered). They responded today with a fairly long email of troubleshooting which didn’t work.  So I got online to try and find a repairman and found one in Northridge.  I normally will always go local, but I just couldn’t find any one in the SCV through Google. I called this garage door repair company American Gates and Doors 1-888-800-1819 and the guy on the phone offered to save me some money and he walked me threw the step to fix it for ‘FREE’ over the phone.

Like I said I normally always go local, but this guy was so kind to save me from having to pay him to come up to the SCV. 

How did I fix it? He told me to jiggle the sensor that was dim until it was a solid light again.  Took about 10 seconds.  Why didn’t LiftMaster tell me that? I have no idea.
