Thanks – I’ve removed the doors, but not the black acrylic panels.  I’ll do that and give everything a good cleaning.

What’s best and safe to use for cleaning? Just blown air?  Microfiber?  Alcohol?  Something else?

@Matador – Hello and thank you!

Thanks for the clarification on the lack of a sensor.  I thought I’d seen one mentioned somewhere else, but likely I misunderstood.

I can gently “force” the doors closed, but it feels more like my closing the doors forcibly than “assisting” the motor.  When I apply light inward pressure, they start to close, move inward about 1/4 of an inch, and then move back out to the fully open position, just like when I don’t apply any pressure.

I can then manually force them closed with gentle inward pressure, but don’t feel any “cooperation” from the mechanism.

@guy – Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the suggestion, and that could certainly be it.

My intuition is that because the doors open so easily, and don’t seem to struggle at all, that the belt seemed unlikely to be the cause.

More like when your garage door gets halfway down, you trip the sensor and then it goes back up.

Anything to that, or should I just go ahead and replace the belt?
