Depends on what it is doing or not doing. Transmitter not working? Lighting strike can erase code in opener and need to be reset. Not shutting can be pressure sensitivity to light, sensors at base of door opening blocked or not working. Should have indicator light on each. A staple cutting into wire leading to sensor or wall switch. Odd openings can be someone close with same frequency. If not opening from far enough away, something can be blocking the antenna from picking up signal. There should be 6-8 inch single strand wire from bottom of opener. This is the antenna. A longer piece can be added to this to increase the reception. Troubleshooting: The source of the remote control range problem you may be having could be in your house. At the circuit box, turn off all circuits except the garage door opener. Test the opener. If the problem is eliminated, turn on each circuit one-by-one until the unit presents the reduced range problem. When you find it you will have a short list of home appliances which cause the problem. From there, unplug everything on that circuit and re-plug one-by-one until you find the culprit. Note: the culprit might be on the same circuit as the opener (then you have to unplug everything on that circuit).
Once you find the culprit, you might be able to use the appliance if you plug it into a different phase (see AC phase in Home Electricity). Or, if the culprit is on the same circuit you might simply need to move it to a different circuit.

The other type only has this in the transmitter. You set the combination you want and on the opener where the wall button wires attach there should be a small 1/4 inch square button.

Garage door opens by itself as soon as hits the ground the sensors are perfectly alinged and nothing is blocking the sensors?
It seems likely that you have programmed the opener to continue closing beyond the point when the door was closed. When it hits the ground, and the motors feel resistance, the device is programmed to reverse the direction of the door for safety reasons (e.g. if a person is trapped under the door) There is probably a setting that will dictate how far the garage should close before it stops. There should be a sensitivity adjustment located on the opener, depending on the model, which can be moved to a higher or lower position. Check the manual, or search for the manufacturers operating manual on-line for specific instructions on how to adjust.
