You can check thisThe door touched something on its way up or down.
What to do: Clear the doorway and try again.
The opener found a problem with the door itself
Call a proThe opener has detected a failure in the door: a spring, a track, a roller, a hinge or a fitting.

Don’t lift or force the door by hand: if a spring is broken, the door can fall. Springs and cables are a pro’s job. DASMA
