Liftmaster garage door opener battery replacement beeping

You've had your garage door motor, a LiftMaster Battery-backup, installed for a while. All of a sudden it's starting to beep constantly. What happened? A beeping opener is an indication that the motor is running from the battery source and not your power outlet. We see this a lot after major storms that involve lightening. The most common source of the problem we have come across is that the outlet where the opener is plugged into has died. You can do a few things to test this.
​
1. Unplug the motor from one side of the outlet and plug it into the other.
2. Plug the motor cord into an extension cord and plug the extension cord to an outlet in a different part of the garage.
3. Use an extension cord to plug a different electronic to the outlet that the motor is originally plugged into and see if that electronic works.

These steps will be able to uncover what the source of the problem is. If there is something wrong with the motor, call your installer or if you installed it yourself call the manufacturer's customer service. If your outlet has gone bad, call an electrician.

Reason for a Beeping Garage Door Opener

The latest garage door openers have a way to connect to Wi-Fi and include a battery backup for when there is no electricity. If your garage door opener with a battery backup is beeping it is usually to inform you about your battery back or similar issues. The length and number of the beeps determine the reason for the beeping. Commonly, the garage door opener is programmed to beep either every 30 seconds or every 2 seconds depending on the issue.

Why is My Garage Door Opener Beeping Every 2 Seconds?

If the LED screen of your garage door opener shows a solid orange light it indicates that the opener is using a backup battery due to a power loss. The power outage can be due to your home losing power or a problem with your electrical outlet. So, if you have power to the rest of your house, the issue is most likely caused by the electrical outlet that the garage door opener is connected to. You can check it by testing another gadget in the same outlet of the opener. Still not working? You may need to get a professional electrician scheduled to check out your outlet for the cause of the problem.

Our homeowners in Delaware and North Maryland, who have LiftMaster garage door openers have spoken and Precision Garage Door of Delaware’s technicians answered! Check out 3 of the most common problems that LiftMaster opener users experience and our recommendations for how to handle each one, listed by symptom, below.

Beeping Garage Door Opener

1. If your garage door has a battery backup, there are several possible beep scenarios:

• Beeping every 2 seconds and an LED display that’s steady orange means the unit is using battery power. Is power restored in your home? Test the outlet to make sure.
• Beeping at 30 second intervals with an LED display that’s flickering orange indicates a low battery. See if the outlet will provide power when plugged into a different device. If so, the battery needs to be replaced.
• Beeping every 30 seconds with a steady red LED display indicates a dead battery that needs to be replaced.

2. If your garage door is Wi-Fi enabled, most beeps you hear will be related to the opener’s status in connecting to the network:

• 3 slow beeps indicates that the opener is connecting to Wi-Fi.
• 6 fast beeps mean that the opener has failed to reach the server.
• 2 beeps will be heard when the opener attempts to connect to the MyQ server.

Garage Door Opener Lights Flash, but Door Doesn’t Close

Your LiftMaster garage door opener features two safety mechanisms that could stop the door from opening or cause the opener lights to flash.

1. Check that the lock button on the main door control isn’t activated. When on, this feature will lock out requests from all garage door remotes and restrict operation to the main door keypad.
2. If the lock button isn’t activated, it’s likely that your garage door’s safety eyes, which ensure that the door only closes when the opening is clear, may be obstructed or misaligned. See this article for more help on safety eyes.

• If your door comes down, hits the floor, and reverses, your safety eyes are also likely the culprit.

Garage Door Opener Light Won’t Turn Off

LiftMaster garage door openers are equipped with at least one light whose function is wired into the opener. Lighting is defaulted to remain lit for 4.5 minutes and turn off automatically. There are several ways to check whether you just need to adjust lighting settings or that there’s a wiring issue:

1. Make sure that the light button on your Multi-Function door control hasn’t been accidentally activated. Press and release the button again to turn it off.
2. Have you been walking back and forth in the garage? It could just be that the safety sensors are being crossed and, because of that, the garage door light is remaining on.
3. There could also be a motion-detection feature. Check your owner’s manual and, if desired, follow the steps to deactivate this feature.
4. Your owner’s manual will also tell you how to reset the light time-off feature. You can reset it to as short as 1.5 minutes after activation.
