Possible Causes

Weak power supply, Loose internal connectors, Failing control relay on logic board, Overloaded accessory circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the opener before opening the housing.

  • 1. Remove accessories: Unplug all Ryobi accessory modules from the opener and test again. A shorted accessory can drag down voltage.
  • 2. Check power outlet: Verify the outlet provides stable voltage and is not shared with heavy loads that cause drops.
  • 3. Inspect internal connectors: With the cover off and power disconnected, reseat all plug-in connectors on the logic board and motor.
  • 4. Test operation: Reassemble and test. Persistent clicking without motor movement usually indicates a failing relay or board, requiring replacement.
