Your garage door opens when you press a button on your remote or inside your garage. These buttons transmit a code to the receiver in your opener that tells your opener to raise or close your door.
Newer receivers generate a code each time you press the button. It prevents thieves from opening your garage. The code is always different, and only your remote knows the next one.
Why Would You Need To Reset Your Garage Door Opener?
Garage door systems have a keypad that allows you to enter your garage without your remote. If you’re the only one with the remotes, you can give trusted friends and family members the code so they can enter your garage.
Sometimes, you need to reset your remote or the code on your keypad. Some of the reasons you may want to reset your opener system include:
- You lost your remote and need to program a new one.
- Just bought a new home and you need to reset the remote.
- You forgot your code.
- The remote disconnected from the opener.
- Suspect someone has tried to enter your garage.
- There’s been criminal activity in your area.
Before you reset your garage opener system, it’s important to determine if it is experiencing electrical issues that require professional repair services. Attempting to reprogram a damaged opener system can be dangerous. Here are some electrical problems your system can encounter:
- A blown fuse
- Failed transformer from a power surge
- Burned or loose wire
- Defective circuit board
- Faulty capacitor
- The electrical cord detached from the opener
If you suspect an electrical issue, contact a professional. Garage door technicians have the necessary knowledge and tools to fix your opener system.
