Garage Door Opener Led Light Bulb Does Not Work

Led lights have drivers inside the bulbs which produce a field that interferes with the garage door preventing the door from opening.

Garage door opener led light bulb does not work.

If you hear a click replace the light socket if you do not hear a click replace the logic board. Unplug the garage door opener then immediately plug the opener back into the electrical outlet. I have not been able to determine yet if this really occurs but it has been reported in some cases. We have observed brand new light bulbs that don t work right out of the box.

Listen for the light relay on the logic board to click. But if new led bulbs seem to have caused the problem look for a brand you can trust and an fcc label and you should be in good hands. Bulbs will not work in older garage door openers and some people believe these new style bulbs can actually interfere with the transmitter and receiver causing the opener remotes to not work properly. Garage door openers operate by using radio waves similar to how a remote controlled car works.

Of course if your garage door opener has stopped working with its remote make sure to check the batteries in the remote before you take additional steps like buying new light bulbs. If your garage door opener light is not working the fix might be as simple as changing the light bulb.
