Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before tightening any terminals.

  • Check mains terminals: Tighten L/N/PE screws on the control board and in the junction box feeding the opener.
  • Inspect plug and cord: If the opener uses a plug, ensure it fits firmly in the outlet and the cord is undamaged.
  • Reseat connectors: Press all low-voltage plugs (motor, encoder, BUS, sensors) firmly into their sockets.
  • Monitor operation: After tightening, run multiple cycles to confirm stability.
