Troubleshoot your garage door

hey hey hey everybody once again it's the garage door man 82 what are we doing guys all right let's go over troubleshooting tips with the garage door now troubl shooting tips is let's get started all right your troubleshooting tips start with the garage door opener now listen carefully guys your re your rece or your receiver light if that's flashing or out means not receiving any signal at all you got to make sure these are aligned if they're not the garage door opener will not go in the closed position the light will sit there and Flicker at you and that'll be it it's just the way it is but these now this is another thing guys you have to make sure you insert your wires good give them a little pole I mean just a little I mean you don't have to jerk them out of the wall or anything just get them a little Tu to make sure they're in there good that's all and now let's and another thing I got to tell you guys these 8500s they very very fussy about the garage door being balanced now when I mean balance what I mean by balance is it has to be pretty well balanced I mean the door can't be hot and it can't fall the door falls to the ground you need to call a garage door technician and have them attention that spring now if they don't know how old that spring is they ain't going to touch it they'll deny it and walk away they will not touch it I mean if you want to go ahead and you know pay for new Springs yeah they'll do it but if they don't know when the last time the door is serviced they will not touch it I had a old door call a guy he said it's fine and walked away so yeah you got to make sure your door is Bounce let me show you what I mean by bounce oh and one thing I got to correct I didn't write in the other video If you have a power door lock be sure you cuz you won't be able to lift the door if that's there so go and retract that by pushing it back now you have the little red thing my door is a 7t tall so door so I don't need it Go and grab it pull it let's give this door a balance check go and put your hand underneath the strp and go and raise the door see it should stay I mean look it's pretty well balanced yeah it stays going to give it a lift there you go okay that door is sitting by itself I am back here see the door is sitting by itself I ain't touching it that's a balanced door guys go and lift it up a little bit more hang on guys give little too much juice yeah it's pretty B balance guys see it stays we're good this door is balc so the opener doesn't have a problem with it now you don't want to slam it to the ground I should have warned you that so go and just go and close it it's closed it's safely to the ground we're want to re-engage it by just doing that uh next thing we're going to do guys let me let me show you here okay let's say I just installed the door let's say this is a brand new opener I have this for a while now let's just say I just install this let's say it's a new unit let's just pretend all right to program your garage door opener say we have I just install this oh another thing I want to point out I didn't point out in the other video These Nuts these bolts make sure you tighten these you know a little bit of turn on the top a little bit of turn on the bottom you got to go back and forth and tighten them guys do not try to tighten one all the way up cuz that clamp will uh will be uh out of whack so you got to tighten it a little bit of the time each screw you know tighten a little bit of the top tighten a little bit of the bottom just back and forth until it gets good and snug and there is a set screw on the back be sure you tighten that now let's go and do our programming mode first thing we make sure is this will retract well I don't know if we program but if you're going to reset your limits on your door be sure this is retracted cuz if the open is not smart enough to lift pull this back the door won't work so just go and manly unlock it like that now let's go and do some programming now first thing we're going to do guys listen carefully first thing you're going to do is you're going to grab your these buttons they're a little different your 85 57 and your 8550 and the 8 the 83 55 they're a little different this is a little different machine in the other one cuz there's not an opener over there so we're going to go ahead and program this door let's it's new so we're going to go and push the button till the yellow indicator light comes on see it's flashing let's go and run the door up now if I let go to the button anytime the door will stop see so we are programming now when you program your door be careful you do not open it too far guys cuz these machines will see I got it up a little too far that time so we're going to the Dr send it down I did that kind of on purpose guys let's go and just bring it back down a little bit you want it like right there perfect now let's grab our remote this one right here hopefully no one's not watching this one right here listen carefully guys listen very carefully grab your remote as soon as you smack that button immediately push that yell button do not wait until the door closes all the way you'll mess it all up immediately push it watch what I do guys watch carefully here's my remote we're going to push the big button I'm I'm going to immediately push the L button watch just like that that's how you do that now you're setting a for limits let's go ahead and run the door down now I I made a mistake last time guys do not use this to run the door down and that was my bad go ahead and use that yellow button so let's go a and do that this is what you can use to lower the door now same thing if I was to let off the button the door will stop so we are in programming mode so the opener is going to learn its settings where the door needs to sit so how much to turn the close the door you know you don't want to where it's going to smash the door on the ground and you see what I mean it's I mean you want a good seal so you know go ahead and just give it a little tap just like that now I'm just going to check door make sure no one can't lift it it's perfect now let's go and set it guys now how you set this which is going to complete it is you're going to grab your remote again you're done with these buttons do not touch them you're done cuz you you it won't it won't complete just do not touch these buttons at this point you got the up and down you got the down prepare for its down setting uh your down force uh your down setting limit it's set you got to completely set it by pushing the remote do not push the button or it won't work so you're almost done with the down setting settings to complete it you are going to push the remote button it don't matter what one as long as the left master project it can be the 890 the 893 the 8 the 895 Max you know the one with the LEDs it don't matter just be sure it's a lift master product go ahead and push the button now you can see the door is Raising I have the remote and I'm not touching the buttons now you want to be by the machine just in case something malfunction goes wrong perfect now listen carefully guys keep your receiver in your hand have it by now now we're going to set the four settings and what the four settings do guys and listen carefully the four settings what they do is they learn the machine learns how much force it has to put on the door to close it or open it that's what the force settings do that's how that works so we're going do that right now we're going to go and put in force we're going to set down the force settings and I'll learn how much force it needs to close this door or open it so we're going to do that right now now listen carefully now this yellow button I know the black one I told you pushed once the yellow one you pushed twice so let's let's go and do that right now now once twice you see it's flashing we're ready when it's flashing we're ready let's go and run it now we're in the force settings and it's going to learn the down Force right now machine is learning how much force it has to put on this door to close it okay we're halfway done it's learn the down Force now let's go and learn the up Force probably ran this more on my supposed to hopefully I don't blow the machine up but now it's learning the up Force right now okay perfect it knows what to stop now the four settings are done do not touch it you're done with this you're done with the settings we're done so and let's go over the let's repeat our steps here guys make sure These are nice and snug and like I said just give them a little pull you mean you don't have to jerk them out of the wall or anything make sure your safety sensors are hooked up correctly make sure the receiver lights's on and the or the sending light and the receiver lights on if the receiver lights out say it's out it the machine will not let the door close cuz it's thinking something in the way and if there's something in the way it will not close so you got to be sure those are lit and make sure your like I said your wires are good in so we going and close that but yeah be sure those are lit good and strong the uh receiver light if it's flashing not good enough it has to be lit strong and good Next Step let's go down to your wall console button let's take a look inside now the reprogram mute remotes guys look here here carefully everybody I don't care who subscribed to my channel look at this carefully guys I mean like the Liftmaster 8500 uh guy I mean I know he he's got a different name he's changing his name all the time I I can't keep up with it I hope you're cool with that man I I don't want to upset you but you do do change your name constantly let's let's I'm let's just kind of chill a little bit about that well we're off that subject anyways but the point is guys is with this machine you can reprogram your remotes right here no more climbing up on the ladder to the m head of the motor or anything or you'd only actually use this to program the 8500 but if you had a head over there on the ceiling where those brackets sticking now you set the climb to the head of the machine to program your remotes now lift M has changed all that and made it very easy now so excuse me for getting the wall but anyways they made it very easy they put the learn button right here on the the machine which means you don't have to climb a ladder so that's cool now now say you want to program this remote there's a little hole in there come on there it is okay you push the little button that low light will come on I'll just push the ram button see that light that would come on that come on solid well if you push let's say you want to use this button to uh program so you go ahead and push that button that would go out and you push the other one to set it like this and your door would work but we're not going to do that cuz this one's already programmed but that's how you do that let's go ahead and close the door cuz I got the air on and we'll talk some more there's that [Music] guys perfect perfect done and uh another thing guys uh homeowners especially pay attention this is very very important to homeowners if you don't know what you're doing with these Springs do not touch them do not touch them Springs these things can be deadly if you don't know what you're doing yes deadly do not use screwdrivers to tighten your Springs if you know what you're doing if you're someone to know what you kind of know what you're doing the tighten Springs do not use screwdrivers get professional whining rods professional lining rods like garage door guys do no screwdrivers so whatever another thing homeowners again any these bolts are loose do not attempt to tighten them call somebody cuz if you say these bolts are like loose and this bracket this this bracket's very dangerous when when this door is closed right now this bracket's a lot of tension right now I mean there's tons of force of tension on that bracket right now if you would go ahead and take these bolts out this thing could cut your arm off yes cut your arm off you would have no arm your hand be you be can stitch up without a hand let's put it that way but this thing is deadly right now if you were to loosen those boats forget it that thing be buz off same thing just don't use screwdriver tightness Guys these Springs ear a lot of tension I mean these things are you don't want to know what could happen if those things broke on you I mean they're not like uh what do you call them like extension Springs that run beside the track here like this let's say you had an extension spring you know you got your cable runs up the door and know there's another po mount to the side of the track there and then it run down and hook to your uh to your uh right angle bracket and then the spring stretches well there's a safety cord in there if there's not a safety for that uh spring oh you don't want to be out here when that explodes man cuz that thing's like a rocket it I mean it'll go right through your wall so you don't want to be anywhere near them if you don't have the safety cables in there I mean that's really bad so go if you can go towards the spring they're safer and they're better they'll last longer I should get at least 14 years that's probably a high rate anywhere between 20 and 30,000 Cycles I shouldn't have to touch that spring for 14 to 15 years and my battery's going to go dead so we're going to have to call this video short guys but I don't know what to tell you guys I mean you obviously seen everything I done show you how to program the opener I show talked about the safety eyes and oh one more thing I want to talk about real quick guys before my phone dies the wall button yes this has to be mounted 5 ft up off the floor so small children can't play with it we uh I know a little bit about this there's a house being REM actually brand new built I've been to a few times and guess where the wall button is it's not to code it is about R whe light switches it's in that proximity that is not to code that should been 5 ft off off the floor that is not the code and this I mean there ain't nothing this doesn't have to be any prox height you can put it where you like it another thing I want to point out guys here's where your door sensors are I think this is federal law across the country I'm not sure it varies where you live but everything I heard about on YouTube is these have to be four to six inches off the floor they can be as low as 4 inches and they can be as high as six if they're higher than six it's against code so you have to have no more four to 6 in off the floor the above six it's not up it's not code wall button has to be 5 ft up off the floor like I said there's a house getting build right now I'm working at button's not to code it's right in line with the wall uh with the wall switch which means small kid could go up and push it and play it like a toy not to code those need to be moved if I was an inspector in this town I fail that that's not to code and I hope that the PE I hope the inspector turns that down cuz that's not to code that needs to be 5 ft off the floor so that's how that works guys if you install an O please put it 5 ft off the floor so small children can't play with it because if something malfunctions with that machine your kid or your animal or your loved one can be killed cuz this door is the largest moving part of your home yes the largest it's it it's TW it's it's a garage door 16 ft long by 7t tall your normal doors in your house are like three a 3 opening by 80 or you know 3 by 8T you know this is the largest movement object of your house you got to treat that door with respect if you don't it will will hurt you and it will kill you you got to treat it with respect man if you don't that door will hurt you it will come crashing on your head you know anything can happen you have to treat that with respect if you don't you will get hurt all right guys I'm done talking like this I'm going to ruin my voice but anyways guys I chose you everything about the door I showed you the remote I told you how to program it so you know if if this doesn't help this guy I don't know what to tell him he's doing something wrong call a garage door technician man if you can't figure it out I shows you everything I know so I bet I wish you the best luck whoever you are I hope you get it fixed but I showed you everything you need to know so if you can't get it figure out I guess you're have to call
