Garage door opener only works sometimes. (Quick fix!)

[KeepinupwithKesha]

Totally fixed my problem!…in 2024 SO relevant and simple to understand! 🙌🏾

I started having this problem with my remotes and keypad. I had not changed the bulb for years. I removed the old bulb and put in a regular bulb, and so far, so good. Thank you VERY much! So, this worked for one day! The next day, after backing out of the garage, I was unable to close the door again. I tried removing the bulb, and it works periodically. Back to the drawing board.

Wow 2023 and this fixed my problem.... probably one of the best videos on youtube

Brilliant!!! I also tried everything - new mounted keypads, reprogramming, different places, etc. nothing worked - until I watched your video and wow... who knew that the light bulb can cause all pain... Thank you very much for your help and advice!

I have (Had ) the same issue. The door will not close if the (motor unit) light is on . Like in this video if the light is turned off manually it will then close. I did have an issue initially with the bulb (LCD-type) and RF interference but that is not the case now with a replacement Incandescent bulb it still wouldn't open even with the bulbs removed (but the internal relay for the lights is switched on). My fix was to reset the unit . 1: unplug and re-connect. 2: erase all codes (Hold the button, red in my case, for 6 to 10 sec. then 3: re-program all remotes (press the (red) button briefly and within 30 sec. press the remote you want to program (synchronize with the motor unit). I believe there was an issue with the "lock button" (on my wired control) you may want to press that on or off if you have that feature . One other thing (not sure if necessary but...) The Door was down while programming & I made sure the Motor unit lights were also off. All is working fine now.

Dude this worked. This has been an annoyance for me for weeks. Finally looked it up on here, found your video and it was fixed within 10 minutes. Thank you!

Thank you!! Had the same problem with the mounted keypad. Could not figure it out. Once I removed the LED bulbs it worked perfectly again.

Thank you very much. The exact same problem and the light bulb was the fix.

[eblwgsj]

You are the bomb! You were 100% spot on. Thank you a thousand times.

[guysteel]

Not confusing. Very clear demo Thanks brother.

Thank you for the awesome video ! I was having the exact same issue and couldn’t figure it out until I watched your video. Thank you again!

[trippinluv]

Thank you so much for posting this, I was losing my mind trying to figure out why my garage remotes started sucking

[willamxavier]

Mine is a regular bulb, but your video made me manually switch off the light and it works after that. Thanks man👍

[chrisc]

Worked for me too - had been driving me mad for weeks. Thank you

[chuongle]

Thank you so much Ruben!!! My garage opener finally worked again.

[huffyshuffle]

Dude! This was exactly what I was looking for. Your video helped me fix my problem. Thanks!!

[jackbrady]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very unselfish of you to do so. Hopefully Karma will do right by you for your effort!

Hoozah!! Damned thing was driving me crazy. Mine would work inside the garage fine but once I was outside a few feet it wouldn't work but if I was say 75 ft outside the garage it would work. I added to the antenna changed batteries I don't know how many times but being cheap and stubborn (deadly combination) I just lived with it until now. Opened up the light cover and shazzam! Yuppers there was an old style LED.! Make sure you hang onto a few of those old Edison bulbs for your door openers!

I had the same problem with mine a while back. Changed from LED to incandescent and presto it worked just fine. Crazy

When I watched your demo, I'm thinking no freakin' way. But it worked. LOL Thx. And the explanation in the comment by @Buddha Hollywood tells the story. I knew something had to be interfering with the signal, but I could not determine the source.
