Troubleshooting of electric remote control garage door opener
1. The garage door opener cannot be operated neither from the door control panel nor from the remote control
Do garage door openers have power? Insert a light into the socket. If the light does not come on, check the fuse box or circuit breaker. Are all doors unlocked? Re-read the installation instructions warnings. Is there ice or snow under the door? The door may have frozen to the ground. Clear obstacles. The garage door spring may have broken. Ask a qualified person to replace it.
2. The garage door opener can be operated from the remote control but not from the door control panel.

Short the red and white terminals with one wire touching both terminals at the same time. If the garage door operator operates, check the door control panel for wiring errors, shorts under the staples, or broken wires. Are all wiring connections good? Read the installation instructions again.

If you have two or more remotes and only one is working, repeat the routine detailed in the "Programming the Garage Door Opener and Remotes" section. Is the gate button blinking? The locking feature on the garage door opener is now activated. If you have a multifunction door control panel, press and hold the lock button for 2 seconds. The gate button will stop flashing.

Is something blocking the door? Pull the release handle. Operate the door by hand. If it is unbalanced or stuck, it should be repaired by qualified personnel.
