Garage Door Opener Led Light Bulb Does Not Work

Garage door openers operate by using radio waves similar to how a remote controlled car works.

Garage door opener led light bulb does not work.

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. Listen for the light relay on the logic board to click. 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. If you hear a click replace the light socket if you do not hear a click replace the logic board.

Led lights have drivers inside the bulbs which produce a field that interferes with the garage door preventing the door from opening. Unplug the garage door opener then immediately plug the opener back into the electrical outlet. Garage doors operate using frequencies between 28 and 360 mhz. We have observed brand new light bulbs that don t work right out of the box.

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. I have not been able to determine yet if this really occurs but it has been reported in some cases.
