A common garage door opener repair and troubleshooting issue is short range transmitter reception or intermittent operation from your garage door openers remote control. One of the first things you would do is to see if all your garage door opener remotes behave the same way. If they don’t try changing the battery in your transmitter as they become weak with routine use and require periodic replacement, the type of battery will depend upon the make and model of your automatic garage door opener. If you only have 1 remote and changing the battery doesn’t help you could have a problem with your receiver board inside your garage door opener control box on the ceiling. It’s also very possible that you have a damaged or intermittent garage door transmitter.

Since your garage door openers remote control or transmitter works off of radio frequency there are many things that can interfere with the signal and diminish the distance or range that your garage door opener will work from. Some of the causes can be another garage door opener unit in the same garage, cordless telephones, WiFi, Invisible Pet Fences etc. Furthermore the source of your garage door opener repair could be interference from your neighbor’s home, cell phone towers, a nearby airport, microwave transmitting station or a radar station.
Sometimes the garage door opener that you think needs repair isn’t the problem and it’s actually your other garage door opener needing repair. If you have more than 1 garage door opener in the same garage try unplugging the other garage door opener from the electrical outlet and see if that solves the problem. If it does the radio receiver circuit board in that machine may need to be replaced.
