The motor has a thermal overload that will turn it off it if starts to overheat. Normally a 15 or 20 minute rest and it will automatically reset. The blinking yellow light may be sending a code. If it blinks 5 times and then pauses and then repeats it is the overload.

The code for 5 flashes is " Motor overheated or possible RPM sensor failure. Unplug to reset." Also if the door is stuck in the open position it could be the trolley is jammed against the bolt just in front of the motor unit.

The code it is sending by flashing 5 times is 'RPM sensor or motor overload'. Is the door stuck in the open position?

Take the cover off and check the drive gear. It is white nylon and is just in front of the motor. It may be stripped or you could have a bad logic board especially if you have had storms in your area.

UNPLUG UNIT TO RESET.

IF IT STILL FLASHES 5 TIMES AND MOVES 6-8 INCHES REPLACE RPM SENSOR.

IF IT STILL FLASHES 5 TIMES AND DOESN'T MOVE REPLACE LOGIC BOARD.

Five flashes indicates possible RPM sensor failure. First try unplugging opener for five minutes and plug back in. If it still does not work replace RPM sensor.

Try unplugging the operator. This may reset any problems you had.

UNPLUG THE UNIT FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. TO RESET TRY TO OPERATE IF IT STILL MOVES 6-8 INCHES AND FLASHES 5 TIMES THE RPM SENSOR IS YOUR PROBLEM - COULD JUST BE THE CUP HAS MOVED ON THE SHAFT. IF IT IS IN PLACE AND STILL NOT WORKING REPLACE THE PICKUP.
