Professional ServiceRemote Problems FAQ
Why did my garage door remote suddenly stop working?
Common causes include dead batteries, lost programming, signal interference, or opener antenna problems. Sometimes power outages or electrical issues can affect the opener's receiver, requiring reprogramming or professional service.
How do I know if it's the remote or the opener?
Test the door using the wall button. If the wall button works but the remote doesn't, the issue is likely with the remote, battery, or programming. If neither works, the problem is with the opener itself.
Can I program a new remote myself?
Basic remote programming can sometimes be done by homeowners following the opener manual instructions. However, if you're unsure or the process doesn't work, professional programming ensures proper setup and function.
Why does my remote work sometimes but not always?
Intermittent remote function often indicates a weak battery, programming issues, antenna problems, or signal interference. This typically gets worse over time and should be addressed promptly to avoid complete failure.
