Sensors are one possible cause
If the issue happens while closing, check that the photo-eye beam is clear and the lenses are clean.
Mechanical resistance can also cause reversal
A binding roller, damaged track or door-balance problem can add resistance that affects opener behavior.
Settings are not the only explanation
Travel and force settings can matter, but adjusting settings should not be used to mask a mechanically difficult door.
