Garage door opener won’t open/close or start light when called for

garagegarage-door-opener

I have about a 12-13 year old Overhead Door opener. I was a dummy and left it open over night in the Arctic cold and snow we've been having. Now the contact closure for the motor won't engage the motor.

  1. Pressing the light switch on our wall panel toggles the contact closure for the light. The light works fine.
  2. The sensor beams seem to be fine. One is green and one is red and flashes when I break the beam.
  3. Pressing the motor switch on the wall or on the remotes does not engage the contact closure for the motor or the light. The wall switch does flash as its opening the LED's circuit.

Would there be a fuse or something worse wrong? Would it be time to replace the opener entirely?

Looks like power cycling the opener was the fix.

Glad to have helped.
