Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the door while testing. Unplug the opener before inspecting wiring.
Check power connection:
- Ensure the opener plug fits tightly in the outlet.
- If the outlet is loose, have it replaced by an electrician.
Check door and opener temperature:
- After the opener stops, feel the motor housing (carefully). If very hot, allow it to cool and inspect for binding in the door.
- Lubricate door hardware and correct any mechanical resistance.
If the problem persists with a freely moving door and solid power, the motor or control board may be intermittently failing.
