Why won't my garage door go all the way down instead of reversing and blinking the light 10 times?

My Craftsman garage door opener model 139.53914D will not close. It goes about 5 inches then retracts. The light flashes when it retracts and it flashes about 10 times. When I unhook the door from the trolley it does the same thing. It will open, but not close.

The light blinking 10 times indicates the safety reversing sensor beam is obstructed or out of alignment. See image below for further instructions.

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
