How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power immediately if you see water inside the opener. Do not operate until fully dry and inspected.
- Dry the unit: Remove the opener cover and allow the interior to dry completely. Use a fan or gentle airflow; do not use direct heat.
- Inspect for corrosion: Check connectors and the control board for rust or corrosion. Clean light corrosion with contact cleaner and a soft brush.
- Seal entry points: Identify where moisture is entering (roof leaks, condensation, open conduit). Repair leaks and improve garage ventilation.
- Replace damaged parts: If the board or connectors are heavily corroded, replace the Skylink main control board and any affected harnesses.
