Do both garagedoor sensors need to be green?
Each sensor will usually have a light. One will have a green light, used to show that the units are powered up, and the other will have a red light to show that there's no obstruction between the sensors and that they're 'seeing' each other.
Why is one garagesensor green and the other yellow?
Garage door openers come with two sensors where one has a green LED light, and the other has a yellow LED light. The yellow light shows that there's no obstruction between these two sensors.
Should both LiftMaster sensors be green?
(Meaning this light will always be on no matter what) If the green light on the receiving sensor is off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not obstructed) , alignment is required. Note: On the older safety sensors both lights are green.

Should both garagesensor lights be green?
Green lights mean the sensors are working, while red lights indicate the sensors are not aligned. If you see red lights, try inspecting the bracket or tightening a screw on the blinking sensor. You'll know you fixed the sensor if the light stops blinking and your garagedoor closes properly again.
Why is one of my garagedoor sensors yellow?
A yellow light on your garagedoorsensor indicates that your safety reverse sensors are out of alignment. Your garagedoor will not close until they are fixed. These sensors use something called a “photo-eye” system. Simply put, they shoot an invisible, infrared beam from side of your garagedoor to the other.

Why is one of my garagedoor sensors yellow and the other green?
The garagedoorsensor yellow light and the green light together create a solid illumination. If you do not see a solid illumination or your garagedoor is not working, the problem is most likely due to the sensors being out of line. If it's not at the exact height of the other sensor, you'll need to adjust it.
Why are my garagedoor sensors different colors?
These sensors are designed to ensure that nothing is in the way of the door at the bottom of the opening. If the beam is not received, the door motor will stop closing the door. Safety beams will usually come in sets and each manufacturer uses different color LEDs to denote their operation.
Do garagedoor sensors need alignment?
The functionality of garage doors depends on their sensors. However, if both of them aren't in alignment, the receiver won't receive the signals from the emitter and your door won't close. Luckily for you, it's not extremely difficult to realign garagedoor sensors.
What color should liftmaster sensors be?
For Liftmaster/Chamberlain products one eye will have an amber colored light which is the sending eye and if it is wired properly and the opener is plugged in will always be on, even the eyes are not making contact.Feb 2, 2015
