Possible Causes

Door travel not learned correctly, Door hitting physical stop before limit, Incorrect door type selected in programming, Excessive friction during learning run

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the door is correctly installed and balanced before running auto‑set. Disconnect power while adjusting mechanical components.

  • Verify door hardware: Confirm that the Garador door opens fully without hitting the lintel or brackets and closes without striking the floor too hard. Adjust mechanical stops if necessary.
  • Check door balance and friction: Operate the door manually. Correct any binding, rubbing, or imbalance before attempting auto‑set again.
  • Reset operator: Perform a factory reset according to the Garador manual to clear previous travel data.
  • Program correct door type: In the setup menu, select the correct door type (e.g., sectional, up‑and‑over, canopy, side‑hinged) as required by your Garador model.
  • Re‑run auto‑set: Start the automatic travel learning sequence with the door in the recommended position (usually closed). Do not interrupt power or press any buttons until the sequence completes.

If E8 recurs, there may be a control board or motor issue; consult a Garador service technician.
