How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power immediately if water is present near live parts.

  • Dry the unit: Remove the Garador cover and gently dry internal components with a cloth and allow to air dry completely. Do not use direct heat guns on electronics.
  • Identify leak source: Inspect the garage roof and any conduits entering the operator for signs of water ingress. Repair roof leaks and reseal cable entries with appropriate grommets.
  • Check cover seal: Ensure the operator housing gasket is intact and the cover screws are tight.
  • Inspect for corrosion: If you see corrosion on the control board or connectors, replace the affected parts.
