Opener Problems

a blocked door or dysfunctional opener, we are

• When your garage door opener is not working the
  way it should, you would have to be blind to not
  take notice. This does not mean you should go
  into a serious panic mode use the elimination
  technique to zero in on possible problems. For
  instance, if you notice that the control pad is
  not lighting up or that the operator motor gives
  an unusual sound, you know where you have to
  start your investigation.
• Follow the symptoms and they will probably lead
  you to a cure or at least offer you the exact
  cause which you can then report to a professional
  in Riverside for assistance.
• The Car Remote Is Not Working
• Try to activate the garage door through the wall
  unit if it responds, check your remote batteries
  and contacts. Batteries could be dead or the
  contact could be dirty. Some remotes will flash
  an error code, which you can then look up in your
  user manual. If these steps fail, remove the
  batteries and turn off the wall socket for about
  30 seconds to reboot both the systems.

• The Wall Unit Isnt Working
• If you can engage the opener using your car
  remote but not the wall unit, there could be a
  possible disconnection at the power source.
  Replace the batteries if the wall unit is battery
  operated or check that it is plugged in to an
  outlet that works. If these steps do not help,
  try to locate any possible damage e.g. broken
  wires and let your technician know what you have
  done and what the results were.
• Next, you should rule out electrical faults by
  examining your circuit box. Replace a burnt fuse
  or turn a tripped circuit breaker back on it
  will be out of line with the others. If these
  steps fail, turn the breaker off for a minute and
  then turn it back on to reset the connection. If
  you see a problem that is beyond you, contact a
  qualified technician in Riverside.
• The Garage Door Stopped Mid-process
• Safety sensors are most likely the culprit. Find
  them on either sides of the garage door and
  confirm that each is beaming one red, the other
  green. If either light is missing, check for
  objects obstructing the sensors and remove it.
  Clean the surface of the sensors and ensure they
  align well. Attempt to open or close the door
  again.
