Depending on when your garage door opener was manufactured, the sensor eyes are replaceable but different from each other. Most are swappable between each other. There is a transmit eye and a recieve eye. If the transmit eye is not lit double check all of the wiring between the sensors and the back of your garage door opener, teh recieve eye only lights up if the transmit eye is working and they are aligned properly.. The opener is the unit on the ceiling, not the hand held transmitter. Some people confuse the terminology.
By holding the wall button in to force the opener to close the door is a built in safety by the manufacturer.
Craftsman openers are made by Chamberlain Manufacturing which also makes LiftMaster, Wayne Dalton, and numerous other openers. The sensor eyes can be purchased online if necessary just shop around for the best deal. Ebay is a great place to start.
Double check the lenses on the sensors too, they can be pretty sensitive and something as simple as a spider web can cause them to malfunction.
Usually the last thing to go wrong would be the logic board for the opener itself. Look at the back of the opener and there should be a colored button near the wiring. It could be blue, yellow, red, green. there should be a l.e.d next to it that may be flashing. Count the number of flashes. This is a built in self test that could tell you what the problem is. Let me know how this works.

IF you're not going to replace the sensors, follow the wire and disconnect them from the garage door opener housing. They are just an add on anyway.

I'm not convinced it's broken.
Check to make sure the "eye" isn't blocked in some way. Spiders love to get in that hole and build a web. I bet the eye just needs some cleaning maintenance.
The way it's behaving is what you would expect with this problem.

Have you checked the battery in the remot? Also, make sure the remote settings have not been changed. Those are the series of little switches that put it on the same radio frequency as the door opener. Make sure they match.
