[QUOTE="Pheasant Surprise, post: 5078648, member: 1103"] Just had to order a replacement door controller as the existing one died unexpectedly, not quite before it’s fourth birthday. Mind this is a three-phase industrial/commercial unit not a home garage door opener. No major fireworks or anything, it just tripped the main supply RCBO going to the shed - the internal fuse was still intact and replaced it to check but appears the power supplies sealed inside the unit have gone. Rang the in country manufacturer reps this morning and they just shrugged their shoulders and mumbled something about possibility of electrical surge(s) from the mains damaging the power supply. Pretty common get out clause that one! The door installers were a bit more sympathetic so have sent a replacement unit out at cost to arrive Friday. It’s just the hassle factor and the looming possibility that the other unit we have might fail soon too. It’s well out of any sort of warranty, but not exactly a tinpot brand either - certainly would have expected it to last a bit more than four years. Just crap luck or are these things getting more disposable by the day? [/QUOTE]
