Opener housing becomes excessively hot to the touch after a few cycles

Safety first: Allow the opener to cool before touching the housing or internal components.

• Check door balance: Disconnect the door and test manual operation. If heavy, have springs and hardware serviced.
• Improve ventilation: Ensure insulation or stored items are not blocking vents on the Skylink opener housing.
• Limit cycles: Avoid repeated rapid cycling. Follow Skylink’s duty‑cycle recommendations.
• Service or replace motor: If overheating persists with a properly balanced door and good ventilation, the motor may be failing. Replace the Skylink motor assembly or opener head.
