Your garage door opener is programmed with
self-diagnostic capabiiities. The “Learn” buttonidiagnostic
LED will flash a number of times then pause signifying it
has found a potendai issue. Consuit Diagnostic Chart below.

• Disconnect ail wires from back of motor unit.
• Remove sensors from brackets and shorten sensor wires to 1~2 ft (30-60 cm)
from back each of sensor:
• Reattach sending eye to motor unit using shortened wires. If sending eye
indicator light glows steadily, attach the receiving eye.
• Align sensors, if the indicator lights glow replace the wires for the sensors. If
the sensor indicator lights do not light, replace the safety sensors.
Sym ptom : LED is not lit on door controi.
• Inspect door control/wires for a short (staple in wire), replace as needed.
• Disconnect wires at door control, touch wires together. If motor unit activates,
replace door control.
If motor unit does not activate, disconnect door control wires from motor unit.
Momentarily short across red and white terminals with Jumper wire. If motor
unit activates, replace door controi wires. ;

if motor unit doesn’t operate, motor unit is overheated. Wait 30 minutes and
retry. If motor unit still will not operate replace logic board.
Sym ptom : M otor unit doesn’t operate.
• Replace logic board because motor rarely fails.
