Hello everyone!

We’re having a weird issue with our garage door opener.

We’ve been in this house for 7 years and not sure how old the garage door opener is. It’s a Legacy overhead door opener.

There’s been a few times where the garage door will open all by itself. Typical this happens during a storm or if we lose power to the house. After the last time this happened, I plugged the power into a surge protector, then into the outlet. Seemed to work but last night we had storms and woke up to the door wide open!

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Do I need a new garage door opener or an electrician?

It’s frustrating that it doesn’t happen all of the time but is a security issue so need to figure this out!

Thank you!!!

Genie company was making the best motors on the market from the Blue Max to the Genie Screen Drive at the beginning of the millennium, unfortunately they go from more to less quality, that motor you have was one of the best openers they made.
