Possible Causes

Incorrect motor wiring on control board, Reversed limit wiring, Faulty direction relay on PCB, Misconfigured direction setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before changing any wiring. Unexpected door movement can cause injury.

Steps:

  • Verify wiring: Compare motor and limit switch wiring to the Henderson schematic. Correct any swapped wires, especially up/down limit leads.
  • Direction setting: Some models allow reversing motor direction via a jumper or menu setting. Ensure it matches the installation orientation.
  • Test operation: After corrections, run the door through a full open and close cycle while observing direction and stopping points.
  • If E20 persists: The direction control relay or triac on the Henderson control PCB may be defective. Replace the board.
