Omlet Autodoor Crush Detected Error Won’t Clear? 6 Checks
The Omlet Crush Detected message is a safety response, not just a generic door fault. The system is designed to nudge an obstruction, reopen and retry before eventually staying open.
Quick answer
Remove any obstruction first. If the message keeps returning with a clear doorway, update Smart firmware, clean the door, recalibrate, check the fail-safe release screws and inspect the crush sensors for corrosion or failure.
What Crush Detected means
The Autodoor uses safety sensors to detect resistance while closing. If something blocks the panel, it gently reverses and can retry several times before staying open.
1. Check the doorway first
Remove birds, bedding, feathers or any object touching the door.
2. Update firmware on Smart models
Omlet includes firmware as an early troubleshooting step for persistent sensor errors.
3. Clean the door thoroughly
Dirt or debris can create enough resistance to imitate an obstruction.
4. Recalibrate
After cleaning, recalibrate so the controller relearns normal travel.
5. Check the fail-safe release screws
Omlet specifically calls out the fail-safe mechanism. Loose screws can affect how the crush system behaves.
6. Inspect the crush sensors
Look for corrosion or visible damage. If the sensors are faulty, Omlet sells replacements.
When the door stays open after retries
If the obstruction is still detected after repeated attempts, the door is designed to remain open rather than keep forcing the close.
Frequently asked questions
Is Crush Detected a motor failure?
No. It is specifically tied to the safety sensing and obstruction system.
Should I bypass the sensors?
No. Fix the obstruction or failed sensor rather than defeating the safety feature.
