Step 1
Check the electrical outlet that opening assembly is attached to. Unplug the opener from the wall outlet. Plug in an electrical component such as a lamp into the outlet. Test the component to see if it will turn on. If the component does not turn on, check your electrical circuit breaker box to see is the outlet has been tripped. Return the circuit to the "On" position. Plug the opener back into the outlet and test.
