Common Garage Door Remote Issues

One frequent problem with garage doors is when the remote control stops working. If your wall switch isn’t activating the opener, the issue might be with a faulty circuit board. Sometimes, a new remote is needed, but there are a few troubleshooting steps that might save you time and money before jumping to that conclusion.

Here are some common issues to check

- Dead Batteries: Ensure the remote’s batteries are fresh and properly installed.

- Locked Garage Door: Verify that the garage door isn’t locked manually.

- Antenna Adjustment: The receiver antenna on your garage door opener may need adjustment.

- Broken Photo Cells: Check if the photo cells on the garage door remote are damaged.

- Reprogramming: Sometimes, remotes need reprogramming if switches get bumped or wires get crossed.
