Garage door remote troubles

My garage door does not close fully by remote. It comes down a foot then goes back up until I push the remote and have to hold it until the door closes. I also have to do this from inside the garage only and come out the front door. It does open from the car remote but cannot close it with the car remote

Make sure there is nothing blocking (dead leaves etc.) the line of sight between the two parts on the ground. (Sorry, I don't know what they're called) The "ray" between them is what keeps the door down, and/or signals to reverse if something is in the way. I may have saved you an $80 service call...something knocked one askew, but I knew to check and fix it myself. Now there may be other reasons, but this is very common. Good Luck
Does it have the safety feature of the 2 laser cameras that are designed 2 trip and stop the door from shutting on a person? If so, maybe they are not aligned, obstructed by a cobweb, or even sunlight can trip it unintentionally to make it stop closing.
I think something's in the way of the sensor which is the light or beam down at the bottom on each side of the garage door check it clean it you need to make sure there's no cob webs and see if that helps.

had the same problem...a simple spider web was the issue. Who knew?
