My Genie garage door closes fine on all occasions but it won't open unless I hold the wall button down. This causes real hassle as I can't use my remote opener to open the door as well.

Here is what happening...

When it is fully open or close, left sensor - solid red, right sensor - solid green. If I block the sensors, left sensor blinks red, right sensor stays solid green.

If it is close and I press the wall button and let go, door would open an inch or so and stop. No flash on motor unit light bulb.

If the door is closing and I block the sensors, door stop immediately (does not bounce back up).

What could be the problem/s and how to fix? Thanks in advance.

I checked again, the spring is broken. Need to call professional.

    That's not additional information. I answered my own question.

Your sensors seem to be out of wack. I'D call Genie and ask for tech support and they'll point you in the right direction. Here's their contact information, 1-800-35-GENIE (354-3643) Monday – Friday: 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. EST Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. EST

Good luck!
