We close our garage door when we leave and we will come back home and it is open. Sometimes the time frame is a long time, other times it is a short period of time. We want to change the codes but there is nothing in the Manual that tells us how to do this. Can you help? M. Pratt

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.
