Possible Causes
Dead remote batteries, Erased remote programming, Damaged antenna wire, Failed radio receiver on logic board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep the area clear while testing remotes.
- Replace batteries: Install fresh batteries in all remotes and the wireless keypad, observing correct polarity.
- Reprogram remotes/keypad: Press the Learn button on the opener head, then press the remote or enter the keypad code as per the manual. Confirm operation.
- Check antenna: Ensure the antenna wire is intact and hanging down freely from the opener head.
- Test at close range: Stand within a few feet of the opener and test. If it works only very close, the receiver may be weak or there may be interference.
- Receiver replacement: If no remotes work after reprogramming and the wall button is fine, replace the radio receiver module or logic board, or add an external universal receiver.
