Possible Causes

Blown light globe or LED, Incorrect bulb type drawing too much current, Faulty light relay on PCB, Corroded lamp holder contacts

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before changing bulbs or touching the lamp holder.

  • Check bulb type: Merlin openers typically require a specific maximum wattage and may specify incandescent or approved LED types. Install a bulb within the rated wattage.
  • Inspect bulb and holder: Remove the bulb and check for broken filaments or darkened glass. Clean the lamp holder contacts with a dry cloth and ensure the center contact is not bent flat.
  • Test with known‑good bulb: Install a new, correct‑type bulb and test operation. If the light still fails, the relay or PCB may be faulty.
  • Board inspection: With power off and cover removed, look for a small relay near the light terminals. Burn marks or cracking indicate failure; the board should be replaced.
