Possible Causes

Blown or incorrect bulb in Cardale opener, Faulty light relay or triac on control PCB, Stuck light button or setting, Shorted light socket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before changing bulbs or working inside the opener.

  • Check bulb: Replace the bulb with the correct wattage and type recommended by Cardale. Do not exceed the maximum rating.
  • Inspect socket: Look for corrosion or heat damage at the lamp holder. Clean or replace if necessary.
  • Reset light timer: Some models allow manual control of the light. Ensure it is not set to permanent ON mode.
  • PCB fault: If the light still fails or stays on regardless of settings, the light control circuit on the PCB is likely faulty. Replace the Cardale control PCB if the function is important.
