How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power immediately if water is present near electrical parts.
Steps to mitigate moisture issues:
- 1. Dry the unit: Remove the cover and allow the opener to dry completely in a warm, dry environment.
- 2. Inspect for corrosion: Check the PCB and connectors for white or green corrosion; clean lightly with contact cleaner if minor.
- 3. Seal entry points: Use appropriate grommets or sealant around cable entries and ensure the cover fits tightly.
- 4. Fix roof leaks: Address any building leaks above the opener.
Severe corrosion or repeated moisture damage usually requires replacement of the control board.
