Possible Causes
Overheated motor or control board, Faulty internal temperature sensor, Blocked ventilation around operator, High ambient temperature in garage roof space
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you smell burning or see smoke, disconnect power immediately and do not reuse the operator.
- Allow cooling: Leave the operator powered off for at least 30 minutes to cool down.
- Check environment: Ensure the operator is not installed in a confined, unventilated space. Provide airflow around the housing and avoid covering it with insulation.
- Reduce duty cycle: Avoid repeated rapid cycles that can overheat the motor. Garador operators are designed for a limited number of operations per hour.
- Inspect for damage: After cooling, remove the cover and look for heat damage on the board or motor. If present, replace the affected components.
- Test again: Restore power and run a single cycle. If E15 returns quickly, the temperature sensor or motor is likely defective and should be replaced.
