Gliderol opener displays E13; door will not move and there is a noticeable burning smell or visible damage on the PCB.

Safety first: Immediately disconnect power if you smell burning or see smoke. Do not attempt to operate the opener again until inspected.

Steps to assess board damage:

• 1. Visual inspection: Remove the cover and inspect the Gliderol control board for burnt components, cracked ICs, or blackened areas.
• 2. Check accessory wiring: Disconnect all non‑essential accessories (keypads, wall consoles, safety beams) and inspect for miswiring or shorts.
• 3. Do not bypass fuses: If the board fuse is blown and there is visible damage, replacing the fuse alone will not fix the issue and may cause further damage.

In most cases of E13 with visible board damage, the only safe and reliable repair is to replace the entire control board assembly with a genuine Gliderol part. Have a qualified technician verify motor and wiring before connecting the new board.
