No power to garage door
 
No power to garage door
Would anybody know what to look for. I have no power at the garage motors, both motors have no power, and I have no breakers tripped in the panel. Everything else seems to be working in the garage. What else would I look for. I even checked the GFI‘s.

Are you sure the breaker isn’t tripped? Have you turned it off and back on?
Anything blocking the safety beam that keeps the door from operating?

Were you away from TV and just returned?

You have two GFCI's in your garage. One of them is tripped. Also, if you have a circuit breaker tripped, it is hard to tell, you have to turn it all the way OFF, then back ON to reset.

Reset the breaker and the GFCI. A breaker may not looked tripped when it actually is.

Check the alignment of the sensors at the bottom on each side of the door. If they got bumped, they could be out of alignment. Happened to us once

Check the small box on the wall, where the up and down switch is. There is a lock on that small box, a switch that is VERY hard to see. Also check the main panel, it will be on a breaker with some other item possibly, to reset and work best.

Depending on the house. There is one on the back side wall in the garage, one on the outside wall of the garage by the front door and the garage door opener has another one that it's plugged into. At least that's what my Jasmine has.

:agree:
This exact same thing happened to me last week. Found/Reset the garage GFCI that was tripped. Problem solved.

I would just reset the GFIs that on the garage door circuit, if that didn’t work I would stick meter in the socket to actually see if no powers at the outlets, then, I would go to breaker box and look for garage outlet breaker, flip it off then on, you should fell it reset. Some where long the way you will probably find the powerless problem either at the GFIs or at the outlet that the garage doors plug into. I have noticed the electricians sometime get in hurry and screw the labeling up on the main circuit breaker box or don’t label all the circuits on the breaker and some just outright label them wrong.

I agree. The sensors may be out of alignment. I had an inop door and was so frustrated as I was unable to find the reason. Called a garage guy, he quickly realigned the sensors, and gave me an invoice. Check sensor alignment, you may have bumped one.

If you have a voltage tester, please go to the garage door receptacle and check the voltage from hot to ground not hot to neutral. What I have seen i that you may have the neutral wire come loose either at the receptacle or in the panel and that would give you the illusion of no power.

Look carefully on the bottom of your garage door control pads to see if there's a "lock"symbol with a small black on/off switch. If so, check to be sure the switch is on.

Did you check the lock buttons on the wall open close panel ?
