I've got an old wickes garage door opener, we've just moved in and no remote supplied. I want to wire a push button open/close inside the garage to test and make sure the motor system works before I buy a remote. The model number on the motor assembly is "WICKES" "wecla d-66793" thre is also a model number of 203004/2000uk on it dated june 96. there are 3 contacts on the back of the unit labled 1to 3 but I can't find a manual for the correct I formation. Please could you help?? Many thanks Matt.

Something could be blocking the electric eye.they are down at ground level on both sides of the door

Make sure the door sensors are pointed at one another and the small light on each one is lit and not flickering. Tweak them a little.

You have a door sensor problem. Make sure the sensors are pointed at one another and the small light on each one is lit and not blinking. Also check the wiring.

check to seee if the little wire that hangs out of the operator is hanging out. This wire is the ant. if this is not the problem replace the 12volt battery you can buy them anywhere. make sure you didn't cut off the ant. wire (I have seen customers cut thios wire thinking its an extra and not needed or place the wire inside the box very little signal that way have to be very close)

Anytime a door opens and/or closes by itself I look for a smashed wire between the motor unit and the wall button.

If the wire is smashed the insulation becomes so thin that power will leak thru the insulation and activate the door.

Loosen the staples with a small screwdriver and slide the wire about ½ inch to move any areas of thin insulation away from the staples.

The second thing would be a bad wall button or a remote with a sticking button.
Or a remote in someone’s purse that gets the button pushed by other stuff in the purse.

The test is to disconnect the push button wires at the power unit. If the self operation stops you have located the problem. If you reconnect the wires and disconnect the wire at the wall button this will tell you if the problem is the wire or the button.

Do the above check just to be sure. If your unit is more thaan about 2 years old (freq. 390) you CAN buy an older non security plus remote and program it to your unit. this should eliminate the neighbors remote operating your door.

In your case the expansion of the wall in the afternoon may be enough to cause pressure on the wire to increase the problem – works in the morning but not the afternoon.

Also after you change the batteries you need to reprogram the remotes.
