The sensor lights up that it is working, however it does not actually open or close. Automatic or manual. Any troubleshooting ideas?

If the sensor is lighting up red but the door isn't opening or shutting, try cleaning off the sensor and make sure the lid is sitting on the bottom of the can tightly and correctly. If that doesn't work the lid is defective.

Check connections one might be loose or you hook the hot into sensor might have fried it bottom line recheck your wireing I would start there

Using compressed air, blow out the alarm. Test your battery, it may be low. Dust will accumulate around the sensor. If these suggesting don't work, you may have a faulty detector.

You have alight source near the sensor.You remove thst source and it will work. ? CHECK By PUTTING A PIECE OF TAPE OVER EYE.

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..

Possibly the battery needs changing if you have had it for some time. Other possibilities are: clean the battery terminals and make sure the batteries are seating properly; the sensors need cleaning (see manual for details); the unit is operating in a dusty environment; and, the unit is defective - unfortunately a far from uncommon fault.

Try flipping the power / switch off for 8-10 seconds, then back on again. Sometimes these kind of fixtures have a mechanism that temporarily disables the motion sensor. If it still doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

Could be. Try pulling the power. Then, disconnect the sensor wires and the wired switch wires from the rear of the unit. Plug it back it. Does it do the same thing?

Same here, it's 10 months old and the sensor is broken. Seems to be a trend! Anyone contact the company about fixing it or warranty info?

The sensors might be dirty or perhaps the unit is too close to a vent or air source. I took the front panel off of mine and blew on the sensor then relocated it slightly. It hasn't happened since.

First, ensure that the room in which you placed it is dark. Second, check the sensor switch's setting.

It appears there is something wrong with the sensor! I will be contacting the manufacturer since it has a warranty.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

Your sensor is putting it into snooze (the sensor that you can wave your hand over to get it to go into snooze). I hated the sensor because it would go off too easily so I put electrical tape over it. That worked for a year and my clock stopped going into snooze, but now it's doing what yours is doing. It goes to snooze before it even goes off. I can tell because the AL1 light flashes in snooze. I wish I had returned it because now I can't rely on it at all.

I saw this hint in comments about another light. It fixed mine. Try tapping the body of the sensor with the power off.

I had the same problem. I re-checked the wiring to make sure I had it right. It was hooked up right and my problem was the sensor was to close to the light when it came on. I just pointed the sensor as far fom the light bulb as I could and haven't had a problem since.
