Questions and answers
Why does my opener randomly operate on it's own
The Allstar MVP opener may operate randomly on its own due to a stuck relay or interference. The manual mentions that a "stuck relay" can cause operational issues, indicated by a slow blink on the unit’s display. Additionally, interference or an issue with the antenna could affect wireless signals, leading to unintended operation. Checking for a stuck relay and ensuring the antenna is properly positioned may help resolve the problem.

Door will not go down. Green light flashing in back
The Allstar MVP door is not going down, and the green light is flashing slowly on the back of the unit, likely due to a "Stuck Relay" issue. The diagnostic LEDs indicate a slow blinking red light and no green light, which aligns with this problem. This suggests that the relay controlling the motor operation is stuck, preventing the opener from functioning properly. Checking and possibly replacing the relay on the control board may be necessary to fix the issue.

Both red and green light slowly flash. No response from opener at all.
