Possible Causes

Burned-out bulb, Corroded light socket contacts, Incorrect bulb type, Broken light socket wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the opener before changing bulbs or touching the socket.

  • Replace bulb: Install a new bulb of the correct wattage and type recommended by Wayne Dalton.
  • Inspect socket: Look for corrosion or burned contacts. Gently bend the center contact up slightly for better contact if it is flattened.
  • Check wiring: If the bulb and socket look good, inspect the wires from the logic board to the socket for breaks or loose connections.
  • Replace socket assembly: If the socket is heat-damaged or cracked, replace the light socket assembly with a compatible part.
