Garage Door Keeps Opening And Closing Randomly

To troubleshoot the garage door opener button make sure it s clean and free of debris.

Garage door keeps opening and closing randomly. It all depends on the configuration but you likely have a button that activates the door operator. If that doesn t fix the problem check the wiring between the motor unit and the wall control. Garage doors use radio frequencies to open and close. The button can easily get dirty and stuck in the pushed position.

Erase all codes in your remote and then reprogram it. The symptom of this is a garage door that is in constant motion opening fully then immediately descending only to start the same cycle again. The door operator button is similar to a door bell. When your garage door opens or closes when you haven t triggered the remote one possible cause is that a neighbor s remote was programmed at the same time as yours.

There may also be loose wire connections inside the button housing itself. As these wires short against the housing the electrical impulse causes the door opener to activate.
