Possible Causes

Stuck wall button, Shorted wall control cable, Neighboring remote programmed to your operator, Faulty radio receiver

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power when the door is not supervised to prevent unauthorized opening.

Step-by-step:

  • Check wall controls: Inspect Hormann push buttons or key switches. Disconnect the wall control wiring at the operator and monitor if the problem stops.
  • Clear receiver memory: Erase all learned remotes from the receiver, then re‑learn only your own transmitters.
  • Change remote code (if applicable): For older fixed‑code remotes, change the DIP switch pattern on all remotes and receiver to a unique combination.
  • Test receiver: If the door still opens randomly with wall control disconnected and remotes cleared, replace the radio receiver module.
