Possible Causes

Motor overheating from excessive cycles, High friction in door causing overload, Poor ventilation around opener head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the motor to cool before further use to prevent damage.

  • 1. Let it rest: Leave the opener powered but unused for 20–30 minutes to allow internal thermal protection to reset.
  • 2. Check door movement: Manually operate the door to ensure it moves freely. Correct any binding issues.
  • 3. Reduce rapid cycling: Avoid running many open/close cycles in quick succession.
  • 4. Improve ventilation: Ensure the opener is not boxed in by storage items and has airflow around it.
