CAME garage door opener emits a burning smell or visible smoke during or after operation

Safety first: Immediately disconnect power at the breaker. Do not attempt to operate the opener again until inspected.

Steps:

• Ventilate area: Allow smoke to clear and components to cool.
• Inspect visually: Open the motor head/control box and look for charred components, melted insulation, or burned connectors.
• Check door for jams: Ensure the door moves freely by hand; a jam can overload the motor.
• Do not power up repeatedly: Repeatedly energizing a smoking unit can cause fire.

Replace any burned components (motor, transformer, or control board) as a complete assembly. This level of fault typically requires professional service.
