Neither keypad nor remotes will close the door. I have to press the wall mount and go inside to front door exit.

    Make sure that the eye sensor are lined up.check your wall button to see if their is a lock button. If the wall button is flashing on and of that means you locked out the remotes.

(Repeat answer):

Check the two antenna wires on the garage opener itself. Loose (or missing) wires means no reception. If the wires are missing, add 2 feet of speaker wires, or even old "lamp cord" wires, just hanging down from the opener will regain reception. (Ps... I am assuming you already tried putting new batteries in both the remote and the keypad).

If the main light is flashing 10 times when the door reverses you have a door sensor problem. Make sure they are pointed at each other and the small light on each one is lit and not flickering. Tweak them if necessary. If you cannot get the small lights to both come on you have bad sensors.

Wall mount button LED is flashing, remotes won't work, door won't close unless the wall mount button is held down until the door is fully closed

Sounds like you have a couple problems. First of all press and hold the button on the wall control that has a lock icon for 3 seconds and release. This should take care of the flashing LED and the remotes will now work. Having to hold the button on the wall control until the door is closed is usually a problem with the door sensors. Make sure they are pointed at one another and the small light on each is lit and not flickering.

It is related. One of the buttons on your wall control is the lock button and has a lock icon on it. Press and hold it for 3 seconds. The blinking should stop and your remote should now work.

Remote only closes the garage door, will not open it

Anytime a door opens and/or closes randomly or doesn’t work consistently I look for a smashed wire between the motor unit and the wall button.

If the wire is smashed the insulation becomes so thin that power will leak thru the insulation and activate the door or interfere with the remote signal.

Loosen the staples with a small screwdriver and slide the wire about ½ inch to move any areas of thin insulation away from the staples.

The second thing would be a bad wall button or a remote with a sticking button.
Or a remote in someone’s purse that gets the button pushed by other stuff in the purse.

The test is to disconnect the push button wires at the power unit. If the self operation / interference stops you have located the problem. If you reconnect the wires and disconnect the wire at the wall button this will tell you if the problem is the wire or the button.

In your case the expansion of the wall in the afternoon may be enough to cause pressure on the wire to increase the problem – works in the morning but not the afternoon.

Also after you change the batteries you need to reprogram the remotes.
