What Should I Do If My Garage Door Remote or Keypad Stops Working? Easy Fixes & Expert Repair

Is your garage door remote or keypad not working? It’s one of the most common garage door frustrations, but luckily many issues are simple to troubleshoot.

Quick Troubleshooting Steps

• Replace the batteries in your remote or keypad. Weak batteries are the #1 cause of remote problems.

• Reprogram the remote or keypad following the instructions in your garage door opener manual. This often resets the connection between the devices.

• Check if the remote’s LED light comes on when pressing buttons. No light? Likely a dead battery or faulty remote.

  
  

If these steps don’t work, the problem might be deeper:

• Faulty receiver in the garage door opener

• Damaged wiring or antenna

• Interference from other wireless devices
