Q: What might be some reasons my garage door opener makes a beeping noise?

A: There’s nothing quite as annoying as a constant beeping sound, especially if you don’t know the cause. If you hear a beeping noise from your garage door opener, there are a few different things you want to troubleshoot.

The good news is that it probably isn’t something you’ll need to call in a pro for. Your garage door opener is just trying to communicate with you. Here are three things your garage door might be telling you:If you’re closing your door using a LiftMaster timer-to-closer or MyQ® technology, the garage door opener will beep and lights will flash to let you know that the door is closing.

This is simply a warning mechanism to keep you in the loop about what’s going on.You may not run into this unless your power goes out, but whenever your garage door opener is running on its battery backup function, the garage door opener will beep. It’s letting you know that, for some reason, it had to go into battery backup mode.

Another reason your garage door opener is beeping may be that the battery for your backup is running low. Look for the LED light on your garage door opener to see if this is the case. If you’re confused as to where to look on your garage door opener, check out the LiftMaster® video below.

NOTE: To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, always disconnect the battery if you unplug the garage door opener while on vacation or any other extended period of time. Want to know some more tips/facts?

If you run into a garage door beeping noise and the three options above aren’t answering your questions, please contact a garage door repair service company in your area. Do not attempt to fix any electrical issues yourself!

Q: Have an old sears h.p. 1/3 Garage door. Remote stopped working. First, I changed the battery in the remote which didn't help. Then, I wondered if I may have bumped the code on the remote and changed it. When I look into the motor, there is now numbered code to match that of the remote. What do I do?

A: The receiver on the opener might have gone bad. Or the transmitter in the remote might have gone bad. In this case, you can get repair parts to swap out the circuit boards. But, it might be worth just getting a new opener.

I had a Lift Master that would not work by either the remote or the keypad. I suspected the outlet it's plugged into might be bad. But, when I unplugged the unit and plugged back in, it worked. But, 5 minutes later it wouldn't work anymore.

I called out a repair service and the technician said that he could repair the unit. But, that didn't mean other things wouldn't start going wrong with it. So, I just had him replace it. He put in a very quiet belt-drive unit that operates a whole lot smoother. It cost a few hundred dollars to have it installed. But, I think it was well worth the money.
