How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power to the opener when away to prevent unauthorized access.
- Check all remotes: Inspect remotes for stuck buttons or items pressing them in a vehicle. Remove batteries temporarily to test.
- Inspect wall control wiring: Look for shorts between the wall control wires, especially where they pass through walls or near metal staples.
- Clear and reprogram codes: Erase all remote/keypad codes from the opener and reprogram only your known devices.
- Check keypad: Inspect the wireless keypad for moisture or stuck keys. Replace if compromised.
- Monitor: If the issue persists after these steps, RF interference or a failing receiver board may be at fault, requiring control board replacement.
