Possible Causes
Broken wall control wire, Defective wall button, Loose terminal screws, Shorted wall control cable
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on low-voltage wiring.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Test at opener terminals: Remove the wall control wires from the opener. Briefly short the two wall control terminals with a small insulated jumper wire. If the door moves, the opener is fine and the issue is in the wall control or wiring.
- Inspect wall control: Remove the wall button from the wall and check for loose or corroded connections. Replace the wall control if the button is physically damaged.
- Check wiring run: Follow the cable from opener to wall, looking for staples through the wire or cuts. Replace damaged cable.
- Reconnect and test: Attach the repaired or new wall control and test operation.
