Possible Causes

Burned-out bulb, Corroded light socket, Stuck light relay on logic board, Incorrect bulb type drawing too much current

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps to fix:

  • Replace bulb: Install a new bulb of the correct wattage and type recommended by Motorlift (often LED or incandescent up to a specified wattage).
  • Inspect socket: Look for corrosion or burned contacts in the light socket. Clean lightly or replace the socket if damaged.
  • Check for constant-on issue: If the light never turns off, even after the timer period, the light relay on the logic board may be stuck. Replace the logic/control board.
  • Verify settings: Some Motorlift models allow a light-on override via the wall control. Ensure the light button is not latched on.
