Might or might not move at all if it's the safety sensors. Worth a
look.

If it moves an inch or 2 and reverses, other posters could be right,
could be down force sensor, may need adjustment, or door could be
binding, or springs could need adjustment. Springs, I wouldn't touch
them myself, too dangerous.
