Lately, our garage door opener has been acting up. We have a rolling
metal door, and it goes up just fine. But when we try and lower the
door, the opener unit flashes as if there's an obstruction and the
door reverses direction and goes back up. We can find no obstruction.
If we push and hold the wall-mounted button, it will lower the door
all the way, but only if we hold the button for the duration of the
lowering. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

The first thing to check is the "Reverse Sensitivity" adjustment -- mine
is a nut on the side of the opener. Try decreasing the sensitivity.

Dose your wall mount button have a lock setting. I found on my daughters that if
the lock button has been pushed it acts the same way yours does. Took me about
an hour to figure that one out.
Hope this helps

De-couple the door. See if you can move the door manually without
feeling any obstruction.

If it has a electric eye, check for correct alignment-- then for cobwebs,
dust, leaves, etc.
