Possible Causes

Control board relay contacts welded closed, Motor rotor jammed, Shorted motor windings, Faulty limit switch not signaling stop

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the opener to prevent overheating or fire. Do not leave it humming.

Inspect door and rail:

  • Ensure the door and trolley are not jammed or locked.

Check motor and board:

  • With the cover removed (and power disconnected), inspect the control board for burned or discolored areas.
  • If the motor shaft cannot be turned by hand, the motor is seized and must be replaced.
  • If the motor turns freely but hums continuously when powered, the control board relay is likely stuck and the board should be replaced.
