I'm not familiar with the whisper drive but I would start with the most obvious place for a problem. There are two units at teach side at the bottom of the door jam. They have to be lined up for the door to work. This is the most frequent problem I have found because they are close to the floor and can be bumped out of alignment. Check to see if one of them have been moved. Most of these little plastic units have a plastic locator pin in the top of the unit. these pins snap into the mounting bracket. If the unit has been bumped just move the pin until it snaps back into the bracket. I'm not a contractor but I have seen this happen a lot with friends and family. Ask the easy questions first. Is it plugged in? Is the breaker in the power panel tripped? Good luck

SOURCE: (Chamberlain 1/2 hp Whisper Drive garage door

If the wall button will operate the door up but none of the devices do then look at the wall button. Find the lock button and push it for 2 seconds and then try the remotes again. This is your vacation lock. You can get a manual at chamberlain.com. Now if the door does not open or close with the remotes you can reprogram them. Press the colored learn button on the motor head and then press the button on the remote. Repeat for each remote. If they fail to program you will need a new logic board. Thanks BB

SOURCE: MY GARAGE DOOR KEEPS OPENING AND CLOSING. AND ONE

As I have mentioned in other post, re-program travel and force limits. Make sure that travel limit (down) does not go too far (thus excessive force). Apparently this system has a force sensor that senses if there is something in the way of the door. This is different from the safety sensor "eyes". The problem in your setup is that you have programmed the door to travel down too much and he system looses its ability to use force sensor. Adjust travel limit (down) to a little less travel and you will be fine.

It sounds like the door is your problem.
Check the counter balance spring above the door. It is likely broken.
If the door cannot be operated manually, the garage door opener will not open it either. The machine is made to operate a door that works correctly. If the door is broken, the machine will not work either.
It also sounds like the opener gears may be worn out. That also occurs because the door required service.

Probably just a burned-out light bulb. The "click" you hear is the relay closing. Replace the bulb. *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

SOURCE: my garage door opener stopped working. when you

The blinking LED light will tell you what has caused the opener to stop working. Count the number of times it blinks after you press the button, then refer to the opener manual. If you do not have the manual, you can usually find it online.

If the safety-eyes are not aligned properly, or blocked, the opener will not function. It will open, but not close. It could also be a part inside the motor that has malfunctioned- usually a circuit board or RPM sensor.

See our tips and tricks page for a more detailed explanation, as well as a few maintenance tips to keep the opener working properly.

Garage Door Remote

Did you happen to put a new light bulb in it? I put an LED bulb in mine and the interference caused the remotes to stop working. I had a bear figuring it out, because it seemed to be totally random. Sometimes they would work and sometimes they wouldn't. Once I switched back to an incandescent, it worked fine.

I had a LiftMaster model 2000SDR. remote won't work when light is still on. Only wall control can operate garage door. Once lift is off, then remote control work. How to fix this problem?

Remove the bulb and try. The bulb or the socket may be radiating a signal. Unplug the opener and pull out on the center contact of the light socket. Try another bulb.

Make sure the green light in the wall control is not flashing. That locks out the remote. If it is press and hold for 3 seconds the lock button on the wall control. It could just be that your remote has failed.

Sears 1/2 hsp garage door opener. Remote control will not close garage door until light goes out. what is problem ?

I would suspect you have a light bulb that is radiating and causing interference with the receiver. Remove the light bulb and try. You can also try this: Unplug the unit and using a small screwdriver pull out on the center connection in the light socket. This will tighten the connection and prevent arcing.

Remote works only when Garage Door Opener light is OFF

I discovered that certain light bulbs interfere with the remote sensors. Harware stores have clear vibration reisistant bulbs for garage doors, try them instead. After spending money on a new remote, resetting remotes, and weeks of aggravation...poof.....i found it was the type of bulb I was using. Used a clear bulb and the problem went away. Hope this helps.

Main light on will not come on when door is opened/closed

For some reason, the bulbs I tested that worked somehow didn't work correctly when inserted into the door opener. We opened another set of bulbs we purchased and what do you know, the light now works. I don't fully understand as the other bulbs did work just not in the garage door opener.
