Get your iDrive fixed by troubleshooting the issues.
The Wayne-Dalton iDrive is a garage door opener that allows users to open the garage door via a remote-control device. If you are having problems with your Wayne-Dalton iDrive, there are several things that you can do before you call a service technician. Troubleshooting the issues is not very hard. You don't have to be an expert to get your iDrive fixed. You can do it yourself with minimal knowledge of the subject.
Instructions
1. Go to the power outlet where the iDrive is plugged in. Make sure that the unit is actually plugged into the wall outlet.
2. Trace the wiring from the wall outlet to the iDrive. Make sure there are no breaks or frays in the wiring. If you do find breaks or frays, contact a service technician to relace the power cord.
3. Replace the batteries in the remote transmitter inside your car. Pull the back panel off of the remote and change the batteries.
4. Make sure that the door sensors are lined up if the garage door does not close. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold the sensors on the track. Line the sensors up properly to alleviate this problem.
5. Get a service technician to test the motor control board on your iDrive. The motor control board might have burned out. Your service technician will have specific equipment to test the control board.
6. Reprogram the remote control by pressing the program button on the remote. Wait until the red program light has lit and then press the program button on the transmitter. Wait for the transmitter light to flash 3 times. Press the transmitter button again to set the program.
7. Allow the motor to sit for 20 minutes after use to reset if you are having problems getting the motor to run.
