Possible Causes

Shorted wall control wiring, Stuck wall button, Neighbor’s remote on same code (older fixed-code models), Stuck remote button in vehicle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Until resolved, unplug the opener when you are away to prevent unintended opening.

Check wall control:

  • Inspect the wall button for sticking or physical damage.
  • Disconnect the wall control wires at the opener head and monitor if phantom operation stops. If it does, repair or replace the wall control or its wiring.

Check remotes:

  • Remove batteries from all remotes and keypads temporarily. If phantom operation stops, one of the remotes has a stuck button and should be replaced.

Reprogram opener (if older fixed-code):

  • Clear all remote codes from the Decko opener (often by holding the LEARN button until the LED blinks or goes out).
  • Reprogram only your own remotes and keypad.
