Cross-brand diagnostic map

Different codes. Same failure family.

Linear, Marantec, Craftsman, LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie use different codes, lamps, LEDs and terminology. This library keeps those signals intact while grouping them by the homeowner problem they actually help diagnose.

SOURCE-BACKED TAXONOMY
01
Cross-brand failure family

Safety Beam Obstruction, Alignment & Interference

Use this family when the opener's safety-beam system is powered but the beam is blocked, misaligned or disturbed by interference.

02
Cross-brand failure family

Safety Sensor Wiring, Power & Hardware

Use this family when one or both photo-eye indicators are dark, the manufacturer reports shorted/reversed wiring, or the source/receiver is not being powered normally.

04

05
Cross-brand failure family

Operator Electronics, Control Board & Thermal Protection

Use this family when the manufacturer points to internal control electronics, a board/interconnect interrupt, battery/charging electronics, or a temporary thermal/over-cycle protection state rather than a beam, travel, or accessory fault.

06
Cross-brand failure family

Remote, Radio & Control-Side Failures

Use this family when one control path fails while another still works: handheld remote, wall control, wireless accessory, or an unattended myQ command.

Normalization rule: Cross-brand categories normalize failure families only. Manufacturer code names, LED meanings and programming rules remain brand-specific and are never translated one-for-one. A broad manufacturer signal may map to more than one family until an LED state or motion symptom separates the branches.
