Troubleshoot Wayne Dalton Idrive Garage Doors

A garage door opener simplifies leaving and arriving.


Wayne Dalton is a brand of garage door openers, doors and storm protection systems for commercial and residential areas. The Wayne Dalton idrive is a system that mounts on the counterbalance above the inside of a garage door. The unit features a security arm that locks the door manually after it is closed. Small issues with your idrive unit may cause the door to malfunction, but you can troubleshoot many of them without having to call for service.


Instructions


1. Inspect the power cord at the wall outlet to ensure it is plugged in securely if the unit doesn't respond to the wall station or transmitter.


2. Replace the batteries in the transmitter or program it according to the manufacturer's directions if the wall stations controls the door but the transmitter doesn't work.


3. Look to see if a circuit breaker has tripped or a fuse has blown, if the door won't respond to the transmitter or the wall station. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker, if necessary.


4. Realign the safety sensor so it is straight or clear the garage door path of any obstructions if the door stops during operation, or reverses its path. The idrive unit will beep three or four times to signal the problem.


5. Wait for one minute for the unit to reset itself if you've cycled the door open and closed more than eight times within five minutes. Apply constant pressure to the wall switch up and down buttons to ensure the door keeps moving.
