Steps to Restore Power to Your Opener

⏱ ABOUT 3 MINUTES

Step 1: Power Cycle the Opener

1. Unplug the opener's power cord, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in.
   • If your opener has a battery backup, remove the battery first. A screwdriver may be needed to access the compartment. On overhead units it's usually on the back or side panel, on wall-mounted units it's on the front panel.

Success: LED turns on.

If the LED remains off, continue below.

Step 2: Test the Wall Control

Press the wall control to see if the door operates.

Success: The door moves, meaning the opener has power. Continue to Step 4.

If not: continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Test the Outlet

Plug a different device into the same outlet and confirm it powers on.

• If the outlet has power but the opener does not, the opener may require service or logic board replacement.
• If the device does not power on, check for a GFCI outlet nearby and press its reset button, then check the circuit breaker. If you're not able to get power at the outlet, contact a licensed electrician.

Step 4: Check the LED

Check the LED again.

Success: The LED turns solid green, confirming the opener is connected to the myQ server. If this is your first time setting up the opener, continue with Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener | Setup & Connect to Wi-Fi.

If the LED Changes Color During Setup
