Additional Troubleshooting
-
The garage door opener doesn’t operate from either the door control or the remote control:
- Does the garage door opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn’t light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
- Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 8.
- Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation Step 5.
- Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
- The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced (see page 3 for reference).
-
The door opener operates from the single button control station, but not from a remote control:
- Reprogram the remote control and replace the battery if necessary. Repeat with all remote controls.
-
The door opens and closes by itself:
- Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.
- Remove the bell wire from the single button control station terminals and operate from the remote only. If this solves the problem, the single button control station is faulty, or there is an intermittent short in the wire. Replace the control station.
- Erase the memory and reprogram all remote controls (refer to the instructions provided with the remote control or visit LiftMaster.com/Customer-Support).
-
My remote control will not activate the garage door:
- Verify the lock feature is not activated on the door control.
- Reprogram the remote control.
- If the remote control will still not activate the door check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener is working properly.
-
The remote control has short range:
- Change the location of the remote control in your car.
- Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.
-
The door stops or reverses to open limit and the opener beeps and lights flash 5 times:
- Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or call a trained door system technician to repair the door.
-
The door doesn’t open completely:
Check power door lock. -
The door opens but won’t close:
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the door opener will move in the down direction. If you are able to close the door using constant pressure, verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions (see page 13). -
The door reverses for no apparent reason:
- Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
- Review Adjustment Step 3.
- Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.
-
My door will not close:
- The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
- Verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions.
-
The garage door opener strains to operate door:
The door may be out of balance or the springs may be broken. Close the door and use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. Open and close the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the garage door opener and call a trained door systems technician. -
The garage door opener motor hums briefly, then won’t work:
- The garage door springs may be broken. See above.
- If the problem occurs on the first operation of the garage door opener, door may be locked. Disable the power door lock.
-
The garage door opener won’t operate due to power failure:
Manually open the power door lock. -
Cable unspooling upon obstruction near top limit:
If cable unspools, please contact a Professional Door Dealer for service. -
The door hits the floor and reverses for no reason:
Verify collar screw install and tighten set screws. -
The garage door opener motor hums briefly, then won’t work:
Verify collar screw install and tighten set screws.
Automatic Garage Door Opener
Safety & Maintenance Guide
- Garage Door Opener Safety – An Automatic Decision
- A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes – which could lead to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.
- Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system.
- Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm.
- Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this guide carefully and keep it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function in a safe and trouble-free manner.
- Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door opener’s manual as it provides more details and safety considerations than can be supplied with this guide.
Garage Door Openers are Not Toys
Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger
of being trapped under the door.
- Stay away from a moving door.
- Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children. Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control devices.
- The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the closing garage door.
- Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the wall-mounted push button or transmitter.
Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
- Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine.
- Review your owner’s manual for both the door and door opener. If you don’t have the owner’s manuals, contact the manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s).
- Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit
WARNING – Springs are under high tension. Only qualified individuals should adjust them.
- Visually check the door and installation:
- Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
- Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
- These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
- If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
- Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6″ from the garage floor.
- Test the door for proper operation:
- Open and close the door manually using handles orsuitable gripping points.
- The door should move freely and without difficulty.
- The door should be balanced and stay partially open at 1 ft and 3-4 ft above the floor.
- If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance
- Test the opener safety features:
- Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
- Place a 2×4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2×4 and then reverse direction.
- Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
- If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
