• Locate the ceiling outlet into which your garage door opener motor is plugged.
• Unplug the garage door opener, wait about 5 seconds, then plug it back in.

This will reset the circuit board and your garage door should operate normally.

**Many brands of garage door openers can be reset by this method.**

Hoermann:

• Press "T" button on garage door opener unit and wait for garage door to operate.

If that is unsuccessful, press button marked "reset" on the back of the garage door opener. It will be necessary to remove the gray cover just above the "T" button area. You will need a Phillips screwdriver.
