Replace the batteriesThe most common reason for remote control not working is usually dead batteries. You will find yourself changing the batteries more often with regular or low-quality batteries. Open the battery cover, check the type of battery and replace it with the exact ones. Damaged battery contactsIf you replaced the batteries and the remote control is still not working, check the battery contacts. If they are dirty or worn out, clean them with dry steel wool.

Replace the remote controlIf the wiring or other parts are damaged beyond repair, it is best to get a replacement Clicker. Before buying one, confirm your opener’s model to ensure the remote control you get is compatible with the specific garage door opener. After receiving the replacement, program it to the opener to make sure it works. Clicker Garage Door Keypad Not WorkingSince the Clicker keypad is usually located outside the garage door on the wall, it is prone to damage by the elements. Fixing the keypad is usually a very straightforward task. The following are some of the reasons and solutions as to why your clicker keypad is not working. Dead batteriesThe Clicker keypad is wireless, but it uses batteries to power it. If you have not changed the batteries in a while, dead batteries could power off the keypad. Open the battery compartment at the bottom and replace it with new batteries. Make sure the positive(+) terminal on the battery is in contact with the negative(+) terminal on the keypad. Keep in mind that low-quality batteries will require more frequent changes. Stuck keysInspect the keypad and check for stuck keys. Make sure all the keys depress and retract correctly. If you notice some stuck keys, it is usually due to dirt and grime in between the buttons. Take a dry toothbrush to remove dust and dirt in between the keys. You can also remove dry from the inside using compressed air. Take a soft cloth and dampen it with appliance cleaner and wipe the dirt on the outside. Radiofrequency interferenceOther electrical devices that use radio signals can cause interference. You should locate the device and disconnect it from power, whether it connects to a wall outlet or batteries. It could be a remote-controlled toy, microwave, speaker, Bluetooth devices, LED lights, and others. Damaged antennaCheck the antenna on the motor unit, make sure it is not damaged or curved, and then straighten it to ensure it can receive the signal from the remote control. Damaged wiresChanges in temperature, the elements, and even pests can damage the wires inside the keypad. Open the back cover and look for cut, disconnected or frayed wires. Reconnect any wires using electrical tape, make sure the wires are secure or replace the damaged wires. Error codeMake sure you are inputting the correct passcode. If you are not sure, it is best to reset the keypad and reprogram it to the opener. Inputting the incorrect passcode several times at once can damage the keypad permanently. Defective keypadSometimes the damage to the keypad may be irreparable, especially from humidity or liquid spills, and may require you to discard the old keypad and replace it with a new one. However, if the problem persists, then the problem could be with the garage door opener itself.
