Why only in winter will your garage door stop and go back up at the electric eye but will close OK if slight hand pressure is used to help it down?

Answer 1

It sounds like the down presure adjustment needs to be increased a little. In the colder months the rubber seals on the door will become rigid and compress harder. On most models there is an adjustment screw for down presure. It should only be turned slightly and the door closed each time until it closes on its own. I recomend that a qualified installer do this to make sure the door is operating correctly.

Also check the door for foreign objects hanging on the bottom, spider webs, debris, etc. Anything that may break the beam between site cameras.
