  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener reverses before fully closing and the light flashes, it indicates that the obstruction sensing system has been activated. This could be due to binding in the door's travel, loose or hanging objects activating the infrared safety sensor, or insufficient closing force. Check for any obstructions in the door's path, remove any hanging objects, and adjust the closing force.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener isn't working from either the wall button or the remote, the possible causes are: no power to the opener, a short circuit in the wiring to the opener or wall button, or the motor protector has tripped due to excessive use. To troubleshoot, check the cord to the outlet, wall switch, and circuit breaker. Isolate the issue by disconnecting the wires at the opener from the wall station. If the motor protector tripped, allow the motor to cool for 20 minutes and try again.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener closes and then returns to the fully open position, and the opener light flashes, the issue might be due to the door arm adjustment, the close travel adjustment being set beyond the normal door position, obstructions on the floor, or insufficient down force. Adjust the door arm and close travel. Check for stones or ice under the door and remove them. Also, adjust the downforce, ensuring obstruction testing is performed whenever the downforce is changed.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener light flashes and the door doesn't open, it usually means something is obstructing the door's travel, the opening force is insufficient, or there's a buildup of ice and snow around the door. Disconnect the door from the operator and operate it by hand to find any obstructions, or call a service person. Adjust the opening force and clear any ice or snow from around the door area.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener works from the wall button but not the remote, the radio control system may be non-operational. Try replacing the battery in the transmitter. If that doesn't work, the transmitter may not be programmed to the opener. If two or more transmitters don’t work, have the motor control board tested.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door stops and does not close fully, the close limit might not be set properly. To fix this, adjust the close travel with a screwdriver, turning it clockwise to the desired setting. A 1/4 turn equals 1” of travel.

  If your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door does not open fully and the light does not flash, the open limit is likely not set properly. Adjust the open travel with a screwdriver, turning it counter-clockwise to the desired setting. A 1/4 turn equals 1” of travel.

  If, when activated with the door in the fully open position, your Wayne-Dalton Garage Door Opener travels for a second or less, stops, returns to the fully open position, and the light flashes, the infrared safety sensors may be out of adjustment or defective, or there may be obstructions in the door opening. Check the alignment of the infrared safety sensors according to the instructions and look for any objects blocking the infrared safety sensors.
