Garage Door

Laura French 14/07/2026 - 12:37 PM

My garage door remote opener and wall-mounted keypad have stopped functioning, although the interior garage door openers are still working properly. What could be causing this issue, and how can it be resolved?

Are you a pro and able to answer this question?

Your wireless accessories have stopped functioning because the Vacation Lock Mode was likely activated on your interior wall console, which intentionally blocks all outside radio signals while keeping the hardwired indoor button active. To fix this, press and hold the "Lock" button on your indoor wall panel for 3 to 5 seconds until the flashing light goes solid or turns off. If that does not work, replace the batteries in both units, or press the colored "Learn" button on the overhead garage motor to quickly re-pair the wireless signals.

If you have a battery in the unit change the battery and check again, make sure that all sensors are all cleaned and that the sensors are properly aligned with each other.
