Possible Causes
Loose power plug or outlet, Shared circuit with heavy loads, Internal power supply issue, Failing control board capacitors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not work on live electrical circuits. Turn off power at the breaker before inspecting outlets or wiring.
- Check power source: Ensure the Skylink opener is plugged directly into a dedicated outlet (no extension cords). Wiggle the plug gently to check for looseness.
- Inspect outlet: Test the outlet with another device or a plug‑in tester. If the outlet is loose or intermittent, have an electrician repair it.
- Dedicated circuit: Avoid running high‑draw appliances (air compressors, freezers) on the same circuit as the opener.
- Internal inspection: If external power is stable, the internal power supply may be failing. Look for bulging capacitors or burnt components on the Skylink main control board. Replace the board if damage is evident or if E16 persists.
