Possible Causes

Non-compatible LED bulbs causing interference, shorted accessory on logic board terminals, excessive load on accessory power output, or an incorrectly wired add-on device.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before changing bulbs or accessory wiring. Use only bulbs and accessories approved for Craftsman openers.

  • Remove non-approved bulbs: Replace any high-wattage or non-garage-rated LED bulbs with Craftsman-approved LED or incandescent bulbs within the wattage limit specified on the opener.
  • Disconnect accessories: Remove all add-on devices (e.g., smart controllers, extra keypads, car sensors) from the accessory terminals on the logic board.
  • Power cycle: Plug the opener back in and test operation with only the basic wall control and safety sensors connected. If the 10-flash code clears, the issue is with an accessory.
  • Reconnect one at a time: Reconnect accessories individually, testing after each. When the error returns, the last connected device or its wiring is the culprit.
  • Correct wiring or replace accessory: Verify wiring polarity and terminal placement for the problematic accessory. Replace it if it appears damaged or incompatible.
