Garage door opener operates by itself without pressing any buttons on Overhead Door opener

Safety first: Until resolved, disconnect power when the door is not in use to prevent unexpected movement.

• 1. Inspect wall button: Check if the wall button is physically stuck or damaged. Remove it from the wall and disconnect the wires. If the problem stops, replace the wall button.
• 2. Check wall control wiring: Look for pinched or shorted wires along the wall and ceiling. Repair or replace damaged sections.
• 3. Clear and reprogram remotes: Erase all remote codes from the opener and reprogram only your remotes and keypad. This prevents interference from unknown transmitters on older fixed-code models.
• 4. Test with wall control disconnected: If the opener still activates by itself with the wall control wiring removed, the logic board input circuit is likely defective.
• 5. Replace logic board if necessary: Install a new Overhead Door logic board to correct false triggering.
