Liftmaster 3280 Won't Close With The Remotes.
I have a 5-year old 3280 and just recently it stopped closing with the remotes. At first it would move about one foot, then stop, then the light would flash. After a few times, it would eventually close. After I unplugged the power for about 30 seconds, now it doesn't move at all. I can only close it by holding down the wall control button. The LED above the Learn Button flashes four times. But there is nothing blocking the sensors and the amber an green lights are bright and solid. So, what is the problem and how do I fix this? Thanks.-Sean

2 sensor eye itself point straight with the door and in level
3 the sun hitting the green sensor
4 bad wire connection @ safety sensor and motor head
5 loose track
Next step will be replace safety sensor and/or logi board.
