OT: Garage Door opener keeps frying

Posted by blinwmiaol.com on October 02, 2013 at 11:04:05 from (32.135.21.200):

I have two Sears garage door openers that keep blowing
the motherboard. They both did it the first time within the
warranty. But the labor to have them replaced was going to
be more than me buying the parts and replacing it myself. I
talked to a professional door installer and he said that if I'm
having problems I need to put in surge protectors on both
garage door openers. I bought one surge protector just for
garage doors from Sears and bought another one off eBay
and installed at the same time I put in the new
motherboards. The half horse model lasted just over 6
months before it blew the surge protector and the
motherboard. It was on a secondary door but I don't use it
much so I just unplugged it and left it alone. About a month
later the three quarter horse opener on my main door blew
it's motherboard while being plugged into the surge
protector but did not blow the surge protector. So I called
the company that made the surge protector and file the
warranty claim because it was only 9 months old and they
sent me a new motherboard. I installed new motherboard
and plug the unit into the surge protector that still worked.
Now 6 weeks later the motherboard is once again blown
and the surge protector works just fine. what in the world is
causing this and what can I do to quit spending $100 a shot
on a new motherboard? The garage door openers are on
their own separate circuit and the breaker for that serve it
has never been blown. The only other thing in the garage
plugged in using electricity is a freezer but it is on its own
circuit. This just isn't making sense to me nothing else in
the house or the garage seems to have an electrical
problem but these two garage door openers.
