Pull the emergency release handle. Use remote to open door then close it again with the remote. Now re engage the emergency release. That should put the chain in the right position for proper operation.

SOURCE: garage door wont work with remote

If the small light in your wall control is blinking it is in the lock mode. Press and hold for 3 seconds the button with the icon of a lock. This will toggle the lock function off.

SOURCE: Door will not close with remote.

The code you are seeing with 5 blinks is "RPM sensor or motor overload." We can eliminate the motor overload because the door is trying to close. The RPM sensor is a small printed circuit board just in front of the motor. It's a snap to replace and is available at any good door opener company. They will know exactly what you are talking about if you ask for an RPM sensor board.

SOURCE: Remote Control closes garage door but does not open

It sounds like a case of your keypad losing signal strength enough that it cannot transmit through the closed door. If a new battery doesn't do the job a new keypad will.

SOURCE: garage door only closes halfway

If the main light is flashing 10 times when the door reverses when closing it is a door sensor problem. You can override this with the door control but not with a remote. Make sure the door sensors are pointed at one another and the small light on each one is on and not flickering.

Merlin 230t Door completes closing and goes straight back up again without using the remote...all adjustments have been made by a licenced door mechanic and yet it still refuses to stay down

Check for black marks on the wall or something it may be hitting . (if so the track is to tight to the wall)..... also Release the door from the opener and check it manually make sure its smooth and balanced correctly two panels up two panels down

Merlin 230t

If the chain is loose I would definitely tighten it up to remove the sloppiness of the drive. That will in turn help you to accurately find the sweet spot that is currently eluding you. And you have to work fast because you do not want to overheat the motor.

The garage door will open and then close then open and then the light starts to flash it's a Merlin 230t

This just happened to me. The issue was that the chain that the motor moves back and forth to open/close the door needed to be tightened as the tension had become slack, so the door was hitting the ground hard when it closed and the system automatically raised the door. I closed the door by adjusting the downward travel and then tightened the chain tension by twisting the bit at the of the chain (you'll see it and can use your fingers to do this), once done, then it was a matter of adjusting the upward and downward travel knobs and testing the door to make sure the door was back to normal.

I have a Merlin 230T garage door opener which abruptly stopped working altogether. Could it be the fuse?--or any other suggestions.

There is a fuse in a Model M-230T and I have seen a service man change it.Now that the fuse has blown again, I want to change it myself BUT can't now find it!

Can anyone please offer a guide to changing the fuse?
