Motor overheated

Check/Repair

The motor can overheat if the door is opened and closed several times in a row. Unplug the garage door opener to reset the logic board. Allow the motor to cool for about 15 minutes before restoring power and using the garage door opener. Pull the emergency door release and check the up-and-down travel of the garage door for binding. Repair the garage door if it doesn’t travel smoothly. If it overheats after a single use and the garage door travel is smooth, replace the motor.
