Odds are it is the control panel for the door. Someone put it on lock and your friend didn’t know to look there.

Have someone use a heavy duty extension cord and plug the cord to the garage door opener into a known wall plug that is working - could be shorted or bad wall pug where the motor is plugged into right above the motor. Good Luck

Bad GFCI
Now that you have tried all other options, run an extension cord from the garage opener to another outlet, and see if it works.
As the garage opener is tied to one specific outlet, that outlet may have a red light on letting you know that it's bad. I ended up having to have that outlet replaced. Good luck. |

I had to have 2 breakers replaced in my new home in The Villages. Also when the electrician came out he told me you have to push the breakers to the right and snap them back.

If you know the breaker number even thou the breaker doesn't show the flag turn it off then back on and see if that works.

Get these testers
Lots of references to checking for voltage or 'get a meter'. To most people this is effectively meaningless.
What you need is either a non-contact voltage detector, Here: https://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-N...voltage+tester OR A circuit tester here: https://www.amazon.com/Sperry-Instru...=outlet+tester Better yet, both Here: https://www.amazon.com/KLEIN-TOOLS-N...=outlet+tester I have only linked good brands above, there are cheaper brands available. These tools are small and well worth having. Edit to add: For those who don't bother clicking on the links, these are less than 8.00 to as much as a whopping 23.00. They will pay for themselves many times over for this sort of occasion Last edited by Toymeister; 12-17-2018 at 09:07 AM. |

There is a reset button on each garage door unit.

Never though of that. Could their be a fuse in the opener too? I do not think I have one but I could.

It could be another GFI between the ones you checked and your mains if there is more on that circuit.. Doesnt make much sense that both went down, has to be in the circuit between the motors and your mains..

Interesting, of the 25 posts:
3 said check the beam 7 said check the breaker 8 said check the GFI 4 said check the control panel switch 2 said use an extension cord. Does anybody ever read previous posts?

Get a new Chamberlain if you can. Rechargeable battery. No one else will have the same programable button.

Duct tape. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
