Hello, great videos, thank you! I do property maintenance for 2 4-story apartment buildings with underground parking, and we have these Liftmaster Logic 5 openers installed with braking mechanism. One has the older brake I'll call paddle style, while the other opener, recently replaced, came with a newer(?) drum brake. The paddle style works great, while this newer different drum brake style is junk. The brake pads wear down fast, in which the door then resumes its coasting. I understand this drum brake is adjustable, however I can't find any info anywhere (including Liftmaster website) on how to adjust it. I know it is simple, I just want to adjust it properly, without causing other issues if I happen to adjust the wrong bolt/nut. Thanks again!

Can a additional antenna be added to help pick up the Wi-Fi signal on these openers? We have 2 of these openers with a very strong signal in our newly built shop and our main internet connection is set up out here w/our router in the shop too. Often times when I am away from the shop or even in the shop it shows on the myQ app that my 2 shop doors are offline, but my third door which is our garage, is also on the same internet connection always stays online. Why am I having this problem? I would think the signal in our shop is more than plenty strong, but 9 out of 10 times it is offline.
@firstclassgaragedoor64718 ай бұрын
Not to my knowledge. Generally we don’t get to involved with the internet side of things as that is better suited for the IT guys that do it every day. I would probably say you need a repeater or extender to get the Wi-Fi signal out to the other doors but that would be from the IT side not the operator manufacturer or installer. I think the Wi-Fi antenna on the door operator is built-in to the circuit board, the one you see on the outside of the machine is the radio antenna for the remote(s). Good luck.

My app told me it was a sensor issue. For me it is sporadically. Like it will be fine one time and then the next time it will reverse a few seconds after it descends. One time it also reversed 1 foot prior to hitting the floor, but not recently. I checked the sensors and the alignments and everything looks good/steady lights. I did brush away any debris or cobwebs near sensors and underneath the door. Any ideas or things to look out for? TY
@firstclassgaragedoor64719 ай бұрын
If you can’t wiggle the sensors without the led light going off or flickering the sensors aren’t lined up properly and if they aren’t lined up properly the door may reverse at any number of positions. The sensors are likely clipped on to the door track, when your 150-500lb door moves it may vibrate or shake the track which could cause the sensor to go out of alignment. Hence the importance of having the sensors installed and adjusted properly. If your certain everything is as it should be and still have issues it could be a wiring issue, a bad sensor or a bad logic board.

Thank you. Well, if the remote opens the door it would be odd that it wouldn’t close it. Assuming all the basics are in fact good I would say you have a bad set of eyes or a bad logic board on the operator. Might be time to get a professional over as they would be able to trouble shoot a bit easier. Or, if you want to order a set of new eyes and hook them up direct to the opener, if it works great, if not you may be stuck with the sensor cost and still have a problem.

@waltb4415 Жыл бұрын
Solution: Lousy connections between the sensors and the long wires leading back to the motor were the cause. The installer gave the raw wires a twist, then wrapped in electrical tape, which degraded over the years. I soldered the wires and that was a solid fix. Tip: a solid green receiver LED is necessary, but insufficient for reliable closing. Solid connections are necessary as well. New sensors come with pinch-connectors, filled with dielectric paste. Original Post: My green sensor is continually green, no flickering. The opener flashes a 4-6 code, indicating sensor misalignment. The sun is not shining on the sensors. The sensors are 6 inches above the ground, clipped to the tracks like yours. I loosened the wing nuts, then aimed them and re-tightened. The green sensor is in the middle of it's band, i.e. I can point up a ways and down a ways before the green LED goes off. The Liftmaster 7675 is a "Q" type with a yellow Learn button. It has worked since I bought the house in 2016. There are many online instructions for handling a 4-6 code. All of them say "Align your sensors until the green light is solid". I have done that. What could cause a 4-6 error code with a solid green reversing sensor LED?
@firstclassgaragedoor6471 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, scotch loc connectors or solder and heat shrink. The codes are general, check alignment is a 99% of the time fix and for consumers typically as far as their knowledge will get them but yes, technically it could also mean a compromised wire(s), connection(s) or termination(s). Glad you were able to trouble shoot and repair.

Tks for the clear explanation! I had kicked my sensor off and needed to fix it, like you said it wasn’t square and caused the light to flicker. great job on the video!
Thank you and thanks for watching! Glad you were able to fix it.
Your garage floor looks good.
Thank you!
Greetings- Very informative and clear video! Unfortunately , none of these worked for me on my Liftmaster. Lights on and aligned. Lenses cleaned. Unpluged and re-pluged the main unit. I am stumped. Remote still opens, but won't close the door. Would it make sense try replacing the remote controller? We rent, so I hesitate to solder the connections myself. Thanks & much respect, -Kimbo
Thank you. Well, if the remote opens the door it would be odd that it wouldn’t close it. Assuming all the basics are in fact good I would say you have a bad set of eyes or a bad logic board on the operator. Might be time to get a professional over as they would be able to trouble shoot a bit easier. Or, if you want to order a set of new eyes and hook them up direct to the opener, if it works great, if not you may be stuck with the sensor cost and still have a problem.
Thanksssss so much for your video! I fixed my sensor’s finally thanks to you!!!
Glad it helped!
Hey man thanks for sharing the knowledge. I was fighting the alignment on my door that was reversing about 5 inches from being all the way closed. You gave every possibility and i found a single leaf hanging from the door about a foot from the bottom. When the door went vertical, it went right in the path of the sensor. Thanks again!
No problem. Thanks for watching,
Thanks for this. This could very well be my problem too(see comment above). I will check tomorrow. Was the leaf on the bottom of the door where the rubber portion is and traveling up and down with the door?
My sensor had yellow light. I did clean eye and adjust alignment but still have yellow light. May you please advice what can I do? I bought my house since 2007 liftmaster brand name. If I replace new one it didn’t have that part the same liftmaster sensor I have know. Thanks a lot
On the newer Liftmaster sensors there will be a yellow/amber light (always on) and the other a green light (only on when sensors are aligned and unobstructed). If your still having trouble it may be time to have a professional out. Thanks for watching and good luck.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 when I closed garage door it reserved back. What else reason do you think? Thanks a lot.
Can I change the handing of one of these openers by flipping the sprocket to the other side? I have a model H501L5R and I need a H501L5L. It looks like it will work but I don't know what I don't know....
Yes, you can just swap the drive sprocket from one side to the other. Technically the “L” & “R” refer to the chain hoist handing not the drive handing. Good luck.
Thanks. Amazing floor BTW. is that epoxy?
Thanks. Yes, epoxy with aspartic top coat. Thanks for watching.
Can’t see small lights on sensor lift master.
Who going to understand this video. Seems like you are running Daytona 500. Way stupid
thanks your video helped me take care of that problem, I bumped my sensor accidently and i took it out of alignment.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was helpful.
My door would only close if I held the button down, otherwise it would go back up again. Can't believe I lived with that problem for a month until watching this video. Took me all of 60 seconds to diagnose and fix the problem. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was helpful.
@drtrotter21 I am having similar issue? How did you fix the issue? Both sensors showing solid orange and green lights
Solution: Lousy connections between the sensors and the long wires leading back to the motor were the cause. The installer gave the raw wires a twist, then wrapped in electrical tape, which degraded over the years. I soldered the wires and that was a solid fix. Tip: a solid green receiver LED is necessary, but insufficient for reliable closing. Solid connections are necessary as well. New sensors come with pinch-connectors, filled with dielectric paste. Original Post: My green sensor is continually green, no flickering. The opener flashes a 4-6 code, indicating sensor misalignment. The sun is not shining on the sensors. The sensors are 6 inches above the ground, clipped to the tracks like yours. I loosened the wing nuts, then aimed them and re-tightened. The green sensor is in the middle of it's band, i.e. I can point up a ways and down a ways before the green LED goes off. The Liftmaster 7675 is a "Q" type with a yellow Learn button. It has worked since I bought the house in 2016. There are many online instructions for handling a 4-6 code. All of them say "Align your sensors until the green light is solid". I have done that. What could cause a 4-6 error code with a solid green reversing sensor LED?
Yeah, scotch loc connectors or solder and heat shrink. The codes are general, check alignment is a 99% of the time fix and for consumers typically as far as their knowledge will get them but yes, technically it could also mean a compromised wire(s), connection(s) or termination(s). Glad you were able to trouble shoot and repair.
Hi, If I need swap logic board on my H501L5B do I reprogram my travel limits and stop?
Limits are independent of the logic board so no, you don’t need to re adjust. As for the “stop” if you are referring to a mid stop then yes, you need to reprogram the mid stop.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 Thank you.
Hello, we use this logic 5 for our condo building, one of tenant lost his receiver with his vehicle both stolen, how could we reprogram and modify the dip code on this machine? thanks
Thanks so much. I looked at 3 videos and found that my sensors were working properly. But yours was the only video that offered a solution for a door that comes down and goes back up. You said the door might be bent…and i checked the insulation panels i installed and 2 of them were coming our of the slots. Voila!! Fixed and working perfectly!
Great! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
I can’t figure out how to align my sensors.
I need more information about the lift master comercial door opener please I am interested
Thanks for watching. You can find more info here www.liftmaster.com/
Where do the sensor eyes plug up in the
Without more information I couldn't say.
Is there an adjustment for the braking on the door opener. We have a Liftmaster wall mount door opener in our shop with a 20' Door. When we raise the door all the way up it hits the spring / stop lifting sensor and then instead of staying up all the way it will roll down close to a foot.
Yes, the brake mechanism is adjustable.
Solved my problem! Thanks. It was cobwebs!
Great! Thanks for watching.
How do I set the TTC to 10 minutes??
