Sears Craftsman Garage Door Opener Photo Eyes
Photo eyes (safety sensors) prevent the door from closing on people, pets, or objects. If your door only closes when you hold the wall button, the sensors may be misaligned or need replacement.
FAQs – Sears Craftsman Photo Eyes
How do I know if my photo eyes are bad?
If the opener light flashes or the sensor lights won’t stay on when aligned, the sensors are likely faulty and should be replaced.
Are Craftsman photo eyes universal?
No. Match sensors to your opener’s model and year for proper operation.
Can I bypass photo eyes?
No. Federal safety rules require functioning photo eyes on openers manufactured after 1993.
