Hi,
I have a Wayne Dalton door opener which has always had a problem with the integral light, and recently also when closing. I am in Australia and there is no agent that I can find for Wayne Dalton.
I purchased my house with the opener installed and there was no manual for the opener. I found the Wayne Dalton website on the internet and have sent them three emails asking for help over the last 3 years, but they have never replied to me, so I am hoping someone on this site may be able to give me some advice.
The light switches on when the garage door is opening and closing, and stays on for the set period when the door has closed, but once the door has opened, instead of the light staying on, it flashes for the set period at about 30 times a minute.
I am assuming the flashing is a way for the opener to tell me something is not correct with the installation, but other than the flashing light everything works fine. However, the flashing reduces the life of the bulb substantially.
Also, for the last few months the door doesn't always stay shut when closing. I realise that if the closer gets too much pressure when closing the door it will reverse, as it assumes the door has met an obstruction. This doesn't always happen though and sometimes the door stays shut. Sometimes the door is still about 2 inches from fully closed when it reverses. Other times it is fully down.
Logic says that it is friction causing this, but I have lubricated all pivot points, hinges, rollers, etc. on the door and this hasn't made a noticeable difference
Does someone have an answer for these problems?
Regards,
Barry
