Opener lights flash ten times and door will not move; may occur after installing LED bulbs or accessories.

Possible Causes
Non-compatible LED bulbs causing interference, Shorted accessory on logic board terminals, Excessive load on accessory power output, Incorrectly wired add-on device
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before changing bulbs or accessory wiring. Use only bulbs and accessories approved for Craftsman openers.
- Remove non-approved bulbs: Replace any high-wattage or non-garage-rated LED bulbs with Craftsman-approved LED or incandescent bulbs within the wattage limit specified on the opener.
- Disconnect accessories: Remove all add-on devices (e.g., smart controllers, extra keypads, car sensors) from the accessory terminals on the logic board.
- Power cycle: Plug the opener back in and test operation with only the basic wall control and safety sensors connected. If the 10-flash code clears, the issue is with an accessory.
- Reconnect one at a time: Reconnect accessories individually, testing after each. When the error returns, the last connected device or its wiring is the culprit.
- Correct wiring or replace accessory: Verify wiring polarity and terminal placement for the problematic accessory. Replace it if it appears damaged or incompatible.
