Jun 27, 2006 - Now, I cannot get the light in the sensor at the door to come on. ... the green LED went OUT about 1/2 way up the door opening sequence. .... other is working (I don't recall if it's green or amber, but know that it is lit.) ... Their is also a green LEDflashing 2 times every 5 seconds or so at control center of unit.
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 color of the sensors is normal and have nothing to do with your problem. If you cannot raise the door manually and it is released from the opener then you have a door problem. If you mean the door won't open and you cannot get into the garage to release the opener then you are going to have to call a door technician for help. He will get in.
You are going to have to find where you are losing power. The most likely place is the logic board especially if you have had any electrical storms or power surges. Remove the board and check for loose or missing traces on the printed circuit.
Sometimes the sensors will be aligned closely enough that the logic board will turn on the receiving units light but it will act like yours. If you look real close at the light you will see that it is flickering ever so lightly. Tweak the sensor so the light is on steady.
If the main light on the motor unit flashes 10 times and the door reverses to the open position it is a door sensor problem. Check to make sure they are pointed at one another. Each of them has a small light that should be lit and not flickering when they are aligned correctly.
The code for 5 flashes is RPM sensor or motor overload. Did you remember to put the black plastic interrupter cup on the end of the motor shaft? Also check the small quick disconnect on the RPM sensor printed circuit board. Make sure it is connected securely.
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.
door only opens about8 inches then returns the led on board flashes 5 times
