Possible Causes

Lightning strike or surge, Internal fuse blown, Burned components on logic board, Corrupted firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the opener housing. Capacitors may hold charge briefly.

  • Verify outlet: Test the outlet with another device to confirm power.
  • Inspect logic board: Remove the cover and look for burned traces, components, or a blown fuse (if present).
  • Replace fuse: If a replaceable fuse is blown, install the same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, there is a deeper fault.
  • Replace logic board or opener: If there is visible damage or no response after fuse replacement, install a new Guardian logic board or replace the opener head.
  • Add surge protection: Use a surge protector on the opener circuit to prevent future damage.
