Having a Problem?
1. The opener doesn't operate from either the Door Control or
the remote control:
• Does the 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 15.
• 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.
• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector
in the motor. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from the
Door Control:
• Is the door control lit? If not, reverse the wires. If the opener
runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a
short under the staples, or a broken wire.
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation
Step 6.
3. The door operates from the Door Control, but not from the
remote control:
• Is the door push bar fl ashing? If your model has the Lock
feature, make sure it is off.
• Program the opener to match the remote control code.
(Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat with
all remotes.
4. The remote control has short range:
• Change the location of the remote control in your car.
• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of
motor unit extends fully downward.
• Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal
door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.
5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:
Battery
positive
• If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the
side up (+)
opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM
can be installed. This kit was designed to minimize vibration
to the house and is easy to install.
