Question posted by fordtuff1976 on January 16th, 2022

Only Works Once Or Twice And Then Stops

hello, our Genie powermax 1500 has to be re-programmed every 2 or 3 openings. Sometimes we have to wait days before we can reprogram it because it doesn't respond to anything we do it acts like there's no power when there's clearly power to it. Does anybody know what could be going on.? I've done all the steps correctly because it does work sometimes just not all the time!Could it be one of our remotes that's doing this?I did find out that there was a recall on this model with this serial number back in 2014.

Why does my garage door opener only work sometimes?

When the garage door opener works intermittently, the logic board may be experiencing radio frequency (RF) interference from nearby sources such as security lights, ham radios and some electronics. If the remote works only when held within a few feet of the motor unit, RF interference is probably the problem.
