The customer reported that their garage door was opening and closing by itself at random intervals, often at inconvenient or unsafe times and sometimes late at night or when nobody was home. This unpredictable activity posed a serious security risk by leaving the garage unsecured and exposed, with the owner concerned about possible theft, trespassing, and hazardous situations for pets or children. The repeated malfunction made the existing opener unreliable and added daily stress, as the family wasn’t sure if the garage would remain safely shut or suddenly spring open. Searching for an urgent, knowledgeable local expert, the homeowner contacted Garage Door Repair Seattle for specialized help in Puyallup.
Initially, our technician suspected a major motherboard or opener circuit issue but quickly spotted the root problem without disassembling the opener mechanism. After thorough testing, we discovered that the remote control was malfunctioning—sending erratic signals to the opener due to hidden water damage within its casing. To deliver a lasting fix, we replaced the problematic remote with a new Genie three-button model and performed a complete resynchronization, ensuring compatibility and restoring reliable response. Once the new remote was programmed, the garage door opener performed perfectly with no further random activations, securing the customer’s property and peace of mind.
