Possible Causes

Failed light relay on control board, Burned light socket contacts, Incorrect bulb type drawing too much current, Loose wiring to light socket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the opener and allow the bulb to cool before handling.

  • Check bulb: Install a new bulb of the correct wattage and type recommended by Marantec (often LED or incandescent within a specific watt limit). Avoid high‑wattage or incompatible LED bulbs.
  • Inspect socket: Look for corrosion or burned contacts in the light socket. Clean lightly or replace the socket assembly if damaged.
  • Check wiring: Verify the two wires from the control board to the light socket are intact and firmly connected.
  • If light still inoperative or stuck on: The light relay or triac on the control board is likely failed. Replace the Marantec control board.
