Garage door opener button not working. The button is bad. If the garage door opener is not powered up it won t work. If you ve checked the door springs and the track for obstacles and those things appear to be fine check to see if the lock on the door is engaged.

The locking mechanism protects access to the garage by disabling the power unit. If the door operates either the wires weren t securely connected to the button or it s gone bad. When your garage door opener is not responding to any command from the remote or the door control you need to check if the opener has electricity.

The location of the switch will depend on the model of the device. So get a ladder and place it under the opener. Unplug the garage door opener from the socket outlet and plug in another device.

Press and hold the wall console button until the garage door is completey closed. Simple but true the remote transmitter needs power to send a signal to your opener. Door starts down then stops before it is closed.

For some units lockout mode produces a flashing button. Look for labeling such as vacation on the unit then press and hold this button. This is to verify if the socket works.

Disconnect the wires from the button and touch the bare ends together. Check the console lock switch. If your garage door doesn t open but the opener motor runs for just a few seconds and then shuts off the garage door itself may have manually been locked.
