Mh Liftmaster Garage Door Will Not Open Intermittently.

On the occasion when the garage door will not open, there is power to the opener. Both leds on the photoelectric sensors are lit and when I put my hand in front of them I hear a click at the main LiftMaster box. The opener will not open with either the remote or the 3 button hard wired opener. Need your suggestions please.

The click you hear when you put your hand in-front of the safety sensor is the relay for the work light. With working light bulb install the light will come on.

That it don't open the door can be many things. First thing is to check the springs for the garage door and door balance OK. If broken spring or need spring adjustment, call the pro's.
