Having a Problem?

Situation

Probable Cause & Solution

 

 

The opener doesn't operate from either the door control or the remote control:

1.Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)

2.Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on Page 11.

3.Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.

4.The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.

5.Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes. Try again.

Opener operates

1.

Is the door control push bar lit? If not, Remove the bell wire from the opener terminal

from remote control,

 

screws. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same

but not from door

 

time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the

control:

 

door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

 

2.

Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 18.

The door operates from the door control, but not from the remote control:

1.Is the door push bar flashing? If the Lock button is on, turn it off.

2.Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to instructions on the opener panel.

3.Program the receiver to match the remote control code.

4.Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

The remote control has short range:

1.Change the location of the remote control in your car.

2.Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of the opener extends fully downward.

3.Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.

Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

The garage door opens and closes by itself:

1.Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.

2.Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote control only. If this solves the problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittent short on the wire between the door control and the opener.

3.Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.

The door doesn't open completely:

1.Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

2.If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the up force. See page 29.

3.If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One turn equals 2 inches of travel. See page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

The door stops but doesn't close completely:

Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down limit.
