Thanks so much. I appreciate the link, but $18 for ONE bulb!? I think I'll keep looking.
Wow, you described the issue I was having exactly, down to the same opener and the same LED bulbs. Insanity. Thanks man!
Peter Kimmich You are welcome. I’m glad you found the video. It’s such a frustrating issue but thankfully the fix is simple. Be sure to subscribe.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just moved to a new house so I reprogrammed the keypad code, changed the remote batteries and replaced a blown bulb. Of course, I used a nice bright energy-efficient LED bulb. Ever since, I've been racking my brains over the same problem. I had noticed that there was a time delay but I hadn't tied it to the time-out on the lights.
I’m glad you got it figured out!
Wooooowwww… I am an aircraft mechanic and couldn’t believe that this problem was eluding me. After 18 months of living in my new house, I was able to fix the issue thanks to you. Lightbulbs would have never crossed my mind 💡
It took me 3-4 weeks to figure it out so don’t feel bad! I would have never suspected light bulb interference.
Watched 3 other "fix" videos before I got to yours. THANK YOU! You were the first to mention anything about LED light bulbs. Had a FEIT brand LED bulb installed originally. Removed it and replaced it with a cheap LED bulb from Walmart. INSTANT FIX. Everything works perfectly. Couldn't be happier. You are my new best friend.
That’s great! I’m glad you found the fix!
Friggen amazing man. I was trying to think in my head what the correlation was with mine, and it makes so much sense now. Appreciate you.
Edwin Brodmarkle I’m glad you found the video! It was so frustrating at first.
You are a genius. I have been dealing with this for months. This was my issue as well that we had an LED bulb in it. I changed the bulb and it now works,
Randall Cooper I’m glad I was able to help. It drove me nuts for a few weeks before I finally figured it out. I couldn’t find any documentation online either.
I have battled this for 2 months thinking I somehow broke the receiving antenna! You solved my problem. Thanks for this video!
Pete Hagan I’m sorry you didn’t find the video sooner! I’m glad it’s fixed now though. You are very welcome.
Thank you so much for putting that video on CZcams. You hit the nail on the head! I spent several hours yesterday trying to figure it out with five different transmitters. Removing the LED lights fixed it immediately. I’m on my way to buy incandescent a. Thank you again!
That was EXACTLY my problem. Thanks for taking the time to share this video!
OMG, why couldn't I have found this video 3 hours ago! After all the trouble shooting, this finishing did the trick. Thank you!
Max Burgess I’m glad you figured it out in only 3 hours. This took me about 3 weeks to figure out!
You sir are a gentleman, scholar, and most important, a good guy. Changed out the bulb for an old style, and it worked like a charm. Thank you!!!
Yes! I’m glad you found the video. It was such a frustrating issue. I appreciate the undeserved accolades also! Merry Christmas.
The power of the internet.....you're a genius, been dealing with this since we got our new opener. Problem solved! Thanks man!
Nicholas Clark I’m glad I was able to help. Congrats on getting it working again.
Wow - you rock! Thank you so much for posting this! Unbelievably easy fix for a very long standing problem. Made my day!
jeff bare Yes! I’m glad you found the video! I wish I had a way to send it to everyone with a garage! 😂😂
Omg, you rock!! That had been driving me nuts. Never would have found it if not for your video. Thank you!!
Mark C I’m glad you found my video! I was going crazy too and CZcams was no help for me. I knew I had to make a video.
Thank you so much! I just replaced the old, blown out bulbs and used LED bulbs. Sure enough the opener wouldn't work closing the garage door. 2 weeks of frustration and a quick internet search lead me to your video. Changed out the bulbs back to the old fashioned ones and voilà, works like a charm!
Kaya J I’m glad you stumbled across my video. Genie makes an LED bulb now that works in garage door openers.
You are awesome! THANK YOU for posting this! My husband installed LED bulbs and that was around the time when I noticed that I could not close my garage from my car after pulling out of the garage! I was ready to give up! The garage door opener worked though. Your video described my exact frustrations!!!
Stefanie Kuhnhausen I’m glad you found the video! Feel free to share on social media so friends don’t have the same frustrations!
It worked like a charm!! Changed the CREE LED bulbs I had installed for FEIT LED bulbs and problem solved. Thank you!!!
Carlos Perez Good to know some FEIT bulbs work! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing! struggling with this for forever! Changed the bulbs and it works! You're my hero!
Leader DOT I was so excited when I finally figured out the issue. Check out the Genie LED bulbs. They work perfectly.
Awesome! I was having the exact same problem. Thank you for taking the time and sharing this simple solution.
I’m glad you found the video. It was really frustrating at first.
Thank you! This worked for us. Had the same issue and your video was the solution we needed. We have passed this onto a friend who is having the same issue and it resolved it for him as well! Crazy something so simple is the fix!
Kristen Freidinger Great! I’m glad you found the video. It was such a frustrating problem. Spread the word.
You are a life saver! Been trying to figure out this problem for a week and ran across your video. PROBLEM SOLVED. Many thanks.
jcb2001 I’m glad you found my video. It was such a frustrating problem!
Thanks for this video. This sounds like the exact thing that is happening for me (Opens on pretty much the first try, but takes multiple pushes to bring down), and I also installed LED bulbs in my opener... I will try fixing this tonight!
I bet it fixes your problems! Genie apparently now sells LED bulbs that don't cause this problem now.
You are the man! Had troubles ever since I replaced bulb with led. Had no idea of what was causing interference. Thanks again!
Mike Scherer You are welcome. Check out the Genie LED bulbs. They worked great on mine.
Amazing! Who would have thought an LED would cause this! Fixed my problem straight away - Thank you!
Ken Openshaw That’s great news! I’m glad you found the video. Be sure to subscribe!
Sweet! Thank you, I never thought the lightbulbs would be what was causing our garage door receiver to work sporadically. I was about to buy a range extender or something similar. I am glad I found this video.
Yes sir! It seems crazy doesn’t it?
Thank you so much for all your help. The new unit will be installed. You where the only person that could help with the issues we where having. Aging thanks for all your wonderful help. THUMBS UP!
Cindy RSDU You are very welcome. I'm glad I could help you troubleshoot
What a fix!
In my case I introduced two things at once LED bulbs & configuring second remote. So I was so tunnel visioned on the extra remote and honestly could have never thought of LED lights!
Thank you so much. Next step is to watch your video in fixing a noisy garage door.
Z Syed I wouldn’t have figured it out because I would have thought the same thing you did! I’m glad you found my video.
Thanks mate! I did everything from changing my wifi to changing the keypad but it never worked.
And finally your video was the lightbulb moment…
Yes! I worked on mine for two weeks before discovering the issue!
Thanks so much. This was confounding me for a few days. Changed the LED bulbs out and it was back to normal
Tony Corrie I’m glad to hear you found the video! If you want to use LED bulbs, you can get the Genie brand. They are made to use in garage door openers.
So glad you took the time to put on this video. Seems to be my problem. Removed the LED. We'll see over time if it opens continuously or not.
Al Adams You are welcome! There is a new LED bulb by Genie that is supposed to work. I haven’t installed mine yet to know for sure.
Thanks, your post was Right On!!!! I’m going nuts on how to overcome this issue and now I replaced the bulbs it all work like magic 🎉
Glad it helped
I had this issue after replacing older cfl tube lights with led fixtures. Sporadic issues, and my opener would sometimes work with the lights on, but unreliable at best. I since moved the led ceiling fixtures to a different switch which I only use when I need additional light in my garage for projects. Thank you sir! I thank you for the time you spent making this video!
Ian Caldwell I’m glad you were able to fix your issue. Be sure to subscribe!
Thanks for the video! You solved my issue. Amazon has a whole bunch of LED bulbs for sale now designed to work with garage door openers. They claim to minimize RF interference.
Yes. At the time to recording there was only one I could find. I haven’t tried the ones from Amazon brands because my Genie brand are still working!
OMG! I've been battling this for months now. I placed a bulb in my front porch light that's next to my keypad, Couldn't figure out why this was happening all a sudden. I literally was walking out the door to replace the keypad when I stumbled on your post, THANK YOU!
Yes! I’m so glad you found my video first!
Thank you soooo much for posting this. My daughter bought a house and the garage opener was doing this and she expected Dad to figure it out. I WAS STUMPED! You saved us!
R Wade Haha. I’m glad I could help you continue to be her super hero. I have two daughters of my own.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I recently installed a new Chamberlain B4505T Garage Door Opener and experienced the exact same problems that you described with the remotes and wireless keypad. I removed the LED light bulbs and now the remotes and keypad work perfectly! I never would have thought about the light bulbs being the cause of the problem. Great work, and thanks again!
R. Thomas, Charlotte
That’s great!
Awesome, problem solved!!! Thanks for the video, you saved me from more frustration trying to figure out the problem. I installed LED bulbs in my garage and that was the culprit.
I’m glad you found the video! I wish everyone could see this to avoid the frustration!
Thank you so much! I had the same issue, really appreciate the information.
Thank you for the great informative video. After replacing the LED light bulb on my Life Master, I finally get it to work properly again.
Kevin Yan Glad! I’m always happy to hear a success story.
Same issue, same garage door opener. I don’t want to admit how long I’ve had the issue! Thank you! FYI, the 4-pack affiliate link doesn’t work. I used the 1-pack link but ordered a 2-pack. I hope you still get credit!
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll find a new link. I’m glad you got yours working again!
Great Video, changed batteries , reprogrammed the cars, nothing worked...until I switched out the bulb, works great! Thanx
M Carrell Glad I was able to help. It was very frustrating! Look for the Genie LED bulbs at your hardware store. They are supposed to work fine.
Thank you so much!!! Was fighting our opener for years was just about to buy a new one..IT WAS THE LED BULB... LOL 🤣
Many thanks for your video. I had the same issue and it was driving me nuts. Never would have guessed it was the LEDs. All fixed now thanks to you!!
You're welcome!
What a helpful fellow! Once I removed the plastic cover, I saw that the bulb I had in place was the twisty (fluorescent? LED?) sort of bulb which was flickering slightly. When I removed it, all remotes worked. When I replaced it with a 60 watt old school incandescent bulb (the kind that used to cost like 25 cents) all remotes worked. To double check, I reinstalled the twisty bulb. No remotes worked. I removed twisty bulb and reinstalled the old school incandescent. All remotes worked.
Case closed! THANK YOU!
Yes! I’m glad you got it worked again. It’s such an odd issue. You’re welcome.
Thank you very much I just give up for two months untill see your video. You are a great.
VICKY YU I know it was frustrating! I’m glad you found my video and were able to get yours working again.
This boggles my mind! You are a genius and yes this worked.
Rich Haha. I wouldn’t say genius but I’m a problem solver for sure! Glad it worked for you. I will have a new video dropping soon showing a LED bulb that should work.
Thank you. I am having this issue as well. Will check the bulb suggestion when I get home.
I almost replaced whole opener... I gotta try this tomorrow. Thank you.
Seil Cho Hopefully this is all your issue is also! You can just PayPal me the money you were going to spend! Haha.
Thank you !!! You preserved the sanity I have left!!!! damn LED bulbs . That video describes exactly what I’ve been experiencing and the methods to try to fix.
Fernando Davidez You are so welcome. This was one of the most frustrating issues I’ve had as a home owner!
Thank you so much! I thought the problem was with my remotes and unfortunately ordered 2 new ones which didn’t solve the problem. You really made my day, thank you again!
Holy crappity crap crap! This gets my vote for the best video ever on the internet. Never has anything helped me more than this other than my vasectomy. This was exactly my problem. Noticed the opener stopped working shortly after replacing the lightbulb with an LED bulb. It did work when I got home at night, because the light was off. The more you talked in your video, the more I could not believe that this was EXACTLY the problem I was having. Thanks so much for this video. I will now go back and let this video play on a loop without skipping the adverts in hopes this helps you even a bit :)
Thanks!
JimmyJavalog Your comment made me laugh. Just call me Dr. Tightwad. I’m glad you found the video and appreciate you offering to not skip the ads!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I was ready to drive over my remotes! I reprogrammed them 10 times. Had 75W equivalent bulbs and had the issues. Switched to 60W ones and it’s good to go.
Steve Berghs I’m glad it worked for you too! Tell all of your friends!
Heck yes! Finally! Thank you!! This has been a nightmare for a couple of weeks.
Yes! I’m glad you found the video! I struggled with it for weeks too. What a pain!
Oh my god, that is it!!!! I replaced a bulb with an LED a few weeks ago, and I have been so frustrated for weeks. I was about to replace the whole unit. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
shephund Haha. You aren’t the only one who has felt this way. Genie makes an LED bulbs that will work with most openers.
Finally got an answer for this head-braking issue man... thanks! (I was about to replace the operator cause is getting old but the problem was related with the LED bulbs)
Noel Betancourt I’m glad you found the video!
Absolutely awesome. Thank you, I am having the same problem but I do remember replacing the bulb with an LED. Thanks!
Oddball AZ I hope this works for you too!
Thanks very much , i am having this problem for sometime , and i just found your video, went to the garage and took the light bulb out, it worked , before would open and not close until the light was off,thanks again
lyndon viana That’s great! I’m glad you were able to get it working again!
It was really bugging me until I read this. Thanks so much! Genius.
Dennis Reeve Im glad I was able to help. Pass along the video and be sure to subscribe!
I really appreciate this one. I just got new Chamberlain door openers and they didn't work correctly. Could not program them etc. I found your youtube and race out and removed the LED bulbs i put it. BINGO. Everything works. Thanks Buddy!!!!!!
Yes! I’m glad you found the video. It was so annoying!
Perfect! We have the same bulbs and the garage door signal is all over the place. Thanks!
scott brown Hopefully this will take care of it for you!
THANK YOU omg this solved our issue right away after many months of frustration.
Yes! I’m glad you found the video! It was so frustrating! You are welcome. Make sure you subscribe!
I cannot WAIT to try this.. this is EXACTLY our issue. Hooray, this has to be the solution. Thank you!!!
I really hope it fixes your issue too!
Dude, I was racking my brain looking at several different ways to fix the EXCACT same problem. So glad your video came up in my feed, you saved me time and money! BTW, yours was by far the easiest way to solve the problem. Thank you.
If an LED bulb does not turn out to be the problem, it may be caused by a bad capacitor on the power board. The capacitor that goes bad costs about 50 cents. However to install a new board may cost $75 for the part and $100 for labor. This problem is more likely in older models of garage door openers.
@@lincolnsecond7179 Thanks for the additional info, but when I turn the light to the opener off the door opens normally. When the light is on, the door won't open. Your info is much appreciated, just in case the bulb doesn't solve the problem.
Great! I’m glad this worked for you!
Thank You, it was a very frustrating problem and no one could help me. I changed back to the old bulbs and all is well.
Donald Anderson You are welcome. Genie now makes LED bulbs that don’t cause interference.
Double thumbs up man you are awesome. Fix my problem that was driving me crazy. I would have never been able to figure it out.
Tim Mikeljack This was probably the most frustrating issue I’ve ever had with my home. I’m glad I was able to share the solution. Check out this video too. They make LED bulbs that work now. czcams.com/video/4uQMIrg9kgA/video.html
That's it! Man I was pondering and I did notice it works after waiting a while.. But never made the connection to the bulb. You are a Genie!
Daniel Ruegemer it took me a few weeks to figure it out! Glad I was able to help.
This is exactly what’s happen too us! So frustrating! We put new bulbs in a week ago...who knew! THANK YOU!!!
Melissa D I'm glad you were able to figure it out too! I had no idea bulbs could cause a problem until it happened to me.
Wow, I have been fighting this issue for weeks now it is fixed thanks to you!
John Vogan I’m glad you found this video then! It’s a very frustrating issue.
I replaced a burned out light bulb in my garage opener with new LED bulb and the remotes for the opener quit working and I never correlated the led bulb with the remote controls not working. I thought the mother board went out - wrong. Replaced the led bulb with a standard bulb and the problem was solved - both openers worked again. You saved me $300 and about 4 hours work installing a new opener. THANK YOU VERY MUCH - YOUR VIDEO WAS SPOT ON
Alan Sanders You are welcome. I went through the same process before figuring it out.
Insane! I would have never thought a bulb would do this! Thank you!
Jon M. It’s crazy but true! I’m glad you at least found the video so you can get it solved.
100% We have Hondas and a genie garage door opener and the same damn problem. Removed the led bulbs works perfect now. Huge Thank You!
That’s great!
Great video! Thank you for the LED insight!! I hung LED Christmas lights on the house and the door stopped working. Unplugged them after watching your video and the door works.
Scott Adrian Wow! I didn’t even think about those interfering! Thank you for the information. I will include it on my next video.
Oh my godddddd. YES! Finally an answer! Gotta change my bulbs and hope this is the issue. You’re describing our problem exactly.
Shaunna Turner I’m glad you found the video! It was such a frustrating problem and at that point, I couldn’t find any information about it.
O..M..G the same happened to me. The light went out and replaced it with an LED type and door wouldn’t close. Removed the LED with a new CFL bulb and problem fixed. So happy I found your video. Thank you.
That’s great! I’m glad you found the video to fix this annoying issue! Tell your friends.
I never knew that I had to have a BULB in the socket. I have a bulb where my brain is supposed to be! The thing would work when it wanted to. You saved me a lot of aggravation. I'd send you a couple bucks for your enthusiasm on sharing your knowledge but you obviously have a nicer crib than I do. I finally found a place for a green light bulb thats been sitting around useless. Thanks a heap. New subscriber fer sure dude.
Jeffrey Kuhn Haha. I’m glad you were able to fix yours. It’s a frustrating problem for sure. I’ve worked hard for this crib. Full time job and two side hustles.
You are a Legend. All the Beers for this guy!
Jeremy Blackwell Thanks. I like IPAs. Should I send you my address?
Amazing!! I just installed new LED bulbs and got in trouble.The remote didn’t close the door,really a confusing situation. I appreciate you.😀
Yeah...nobody wants an unhappy spouse! I’m glad you found the video and were able to get it working again. I’ve had the Genie bulbs in for a couple of years and they work great.
Great video! I've been having the same problem you described! I suspected RF interference, specifically the new power meter they installed last summer! They are known to cause interference problems! Would you believe, I gave up troubleshooting the day and was closing the light cover on the door operator when I noticed the LED bulb! Hmm, I wonder! Time to check out CZcams. Bingo - I found your video! Back out to the garage to remove the LED bulbs - the door opened on the first try. However, it still wasn't working as good as it previously did! So next I switched off all the garage lights (nearly all LED lights of one type or another, and that made the difference! Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this video.
Don Stanley I’m glad you discovered the issue and found my video. Check out the Genie LED bulbs. They worked great for me.
Wow! This actually works! Had no idea..... Thank You!!!
Riley Bowenkamp It sure does. I’m glad you found the video. Be sure to subscribe.
Unbelievable. Thank you. I’ve been thinking our unit was bad. Crazy. Thank you.
David Bryan Woodworks It’s a frustrating problem for sure! I’m glad you found the video and saw the easy solution! Be sure to share the video with your friends!
This video ended more than a year of frustration. Thank you!
I’m so glad you found the video! I know that had to be a really frustrating time!
Unreal!!! This is the exact same issue I’m having. Opens just find but won’t close. Thank you so much, my frustration with my garage door is over! Got rid of the LED bulb!!!!!
Yes! I’m glad you found the video. If you do want to use an LED bulb, I have a link to the Genie brand bulbs in the description. They are made to work with garage door openers.
This was exactly my problem. Thanks for posting the video.
Bruce Lee You are welcome, Bruce. I love your movies!
No LED bulb in there, just the reg bulb 60W but my daughter said the same thing maybe I should put another bulb in. Will try that and pray it works, will let you know and Thank You So Much, your the only one finally came across that talked about the light bulb problem. I've been searching for a while. So thank you from our hearts. Will let you know.
Cindy RSDU Here is an idea. Take out the bulb(s) completely and see if the problem still occurs. This will tell you for sure if it's the bulbs or an issue somewhere else.
Awesome! This just started happening to me last night .. it was the antenna that had curled up in the the heat and was unseen by the remotes because it was behind the unit's body.... thanks for the tip, I have other issues to deal with...
James Hash Glad you were able to get it figured out!
You are my hero, even though you are a Georgia fan (Roll Tide). Thank you so much. That fixed my problem. I must have searched for hours. Thank you so much.
Glad I could help! Go Dawgs!
Unbelievable!! I’ve spent numerous times trying to program a new vehicle. It just so happened I put new LED bulbs in when going to program the new car. The other remotes worked but very poorly. I looked up several videos with all kinds of advice. None worked. Watched your video removed bulbs and success!! Thanks!!
Brian Schindler It is such a frustrating issue to solve! I’m glad you found my video. Feel free to share it with your friends because most people will run into this issue!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.and a double bravo- You solve my garage door opener problem at my home. I am an Electrical Engineer PE that specifies lights on houses and buildings. I will be sure not to use LED lights on or near garage door openers. Led lights can be great for saving energy usage but a problem for other usages. I am using blue blocker Glasses for protecting my eyes from the LED blue light illumination too.
I’m glad to hear the video helped you too.
Thank you thank you thank you!! You saved me hundreds. I was going to replace this opener because the same issue.
I’m glad you found the video! It has me stumped for a few weeks.
Perfect! After changing batteries in my remote with no success, then recoding the the remote and still no success, I was baffled. Changing the LED's back to the old incandescent bulbs worked perfectly. Thanks!
Dave Kerton I went through the same process before I figured it out! They do sell LED bulbs that work with garage door openers. Genie is the brand I ended up using.
I never comment but need to thank you for this video. I echo all the comments below- you are the man!
dshjyd Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I’m glad you got yours fixed.
Thank you. That may be the problem for me. Replaced light bulbs few days ago and every time I leave the house and lights are On when trying to close the door lights just blinks few times but not close. Never had this problem before. Also works OK when lights are Off and just opening the door. I noticed this happens just when lights are On and trying to close the door. I’ll try to buy different bulbs. I think they sell now LED bulbs special for garage door!
They do sell special bulbs now! Get you some!
You just saved my garage door openers life! I was just about to “fix it” with my hammer... and found your video. Thank you, thank you.
doc3379 You are welcome. I was at the point as well when I discovered the issue.
OMG you are the smartest man ALIVE! Thank you for the quick fix.
Jon Parks Haha. Well thanks. It did take me over a week to figure it out. I’m glad you were able to get yours fixed too.
Just installed a new open and put led lights in and have this problem with the same symptoms. Will be changing the bulbs shortly when I get some new ones. Thanks!
Brenda Ray It should fix you right up! Genie sells LED bulbs that work with all garage door openers. Check them out.
So aggravating. Same issue with the LED bulb. Changed it with and old one and it works fine. Thank you!
Definitely! It was quite frustrating!
Same issue. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video!
It’s my pleasure.
Great suggestion. I had one LED and a regular bulb in the other socket. Going to see if that's the problem
Michael Davis I think you will be happy with your results!
Thanks. I just recently replaced a lightbulb in the opener and also used an LED. Since then the opener seems to work fine with the remotes (although I haven't checked it to see if the light is off) but the keypad was very intermittent. Sometimes it works the first time (probably when the LED is off) but then it might take five or six attempts to get it to open, if it works at all. I will do some more investigating to see if the failures match your results.
GrandpaLarry777 Glad I can help. I bet your opener Will be more consistent if you change the bulb.
