Possible Causes
Corrupted control board firmware, Power surge damage to logic PCB, Loose control board connectors, Failed memory IC on Henderson control PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the opener housing.
Steps:
- Power cycle: Disconnect power for 5 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Restore power and check if E6 clears.
- Inspect control PCB: Remove the opener cover and visually inspect the Henderson control PCB for burn marks, swollen components, or loose ribbon cables. Reseat all connectors.
- Factory reset: Follow the Henderson manual to perform a factory reset (often involves holding the SET or LEARN button for a specified time). Reprogram travel limits and remotes afterward.
- Surge protection: If E6 appeared after a storm or outage, install a surge protector on the opener circuit to prevent repeat failures.
- If E6 persists: Replace the control PCB with a genuine Henderson logic board. This typically requires transferring wiring one terminal at a time to avoid misconnection.
