Possible Causes

Stuck wall control button, Shorted wall control wiring, Remote button stuck in vehicle, RF interference or cross-activation from nearby opener

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power to the opener when away to prevent unintended opening.

Steps to troubleshoot:

  • Inspect wall control: Check if the wall button is sticking or physically jammed. Replace if necessary.
  • Disconnect wall control wiring: Temporarily remove wall control wires at the opener. If random openings stop, the issue is in the wall control or wiring.
  • Check remotes: Remove batteries from all remotes and keypads. If the problem stops, inspect remotes for stuck buttons.
  • Change remote codes: Clear all remote codes from the opener and reprogram using a new code sequence to avoid interference from neighboring units.
  • Replace logic board if needed: If the opener still activates with all inputs disconnected, the logic board may be defective and should be replaced.
