Default Garage Door Opener Cycling Up & Down On Its Own ?

Hi,

My son just wrote me the following re his automatic garage door opener:

Â*Â*Â* "We came home today and discovered test our garage seems to be opening on its own.

There's nothing sitting on the automatics in the cars and nothing stuck at or near the garage.

To stop this temporarily I switched to manual and unplugged.

But this is a temporary fix for something goofy"

Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be going on ?
As always, thanks for help.

Bob



I'd start this guessing-game by pulling the cover and blowing the spider webs and dust out of the door opener, any door safety sensors and any of the wall-mounted push buttons.

Another guess would be to change theÂ* code on the remotes and opener.

Another guess would be to remove the batteries from both remote controls to see if the door still opens on its own.
