Yeah, that looks like a fuse, a spare one perhaps since it does not look connected.

The round one is for 220 ac and the yellow for the motor DC

Good evening my gate doesnt open all the time when you push the remote button. I tried to disengaged the motor with the manuel override. The override lever doesnt want to move so i can override my motor. What can i do and what do you think is the problem

Does it beep when you press the button?
In the past when mine did that I had to dial down it’s resistance (blockage detection).
If you don’t use the release often it does tend to jam up a bit so likely a separate issue.
If it’s not even beeping whole different story.

also make sure nothing is blocking your gear on the other side.
Hi All. My old ET500 suddenly started ignoring the limit switches. It will slam shut and attempt to derail on opening. I put dipswitches in OFF position and applied short across the jumper then pressed SET. The motor does not crawl, but slams full speed as before. Any advice?

That switch might be faulty. You can open the pc board, move gate and it shows gate open or close. test it, if it is okay, reprogram.
Thanks for your response. The LED indicators come on for the limits. Also there are two switches. During programming it does not crawl, but runs full speed.
Hi Guys
Could use some assistance with my ET motor gate please (unsure what model, red/maroon cover, but will attach pics of the board).
Maybe some warning signs days before:
The gate just suddenly starts getting stuck and not wanting to close all the way. Do it over and over. Clean the rails and eventually it closes all the way. No problem for 2 days, then...
Gate opened. But now refuses to close or move at all now:
When I press the remote, sometimes just hear a click by the board and a red light flash, nothing else happens. If I'm persistent, then after some time, pressing the remote makes a single beep, then stop, and each time I press, a single beep then stop. Hold in the button and it makes a continuous beeping until I stop. When I leave it alone for a while, then it just goes back to that clicking sound each time I press the remote.
I tried replacing the battery (which is 3.5 years old). Allowed it to charge for about an hour, no change.
1.) I'm not sure if the fuses are a problem. Not sure where to disconnect the power from the box.
2.) I see a loose white wire in the pic I'm holding it in my hand... It was loose when I opened the box, but strange coz can't think how it could've came loose by itself. Not sure where that fits in
3.) As mentioned replaced it with a new, exact same battery but also didn't help.
Could anyone please share some light on the potential problem please?

step one , check ac.
step 2, put gate on manual. move gate all the way, it must run freely. check wheels
step 3 check rails and magnet.
step 4, put normal , operate, but listen to beeps, check what led on pc is on.
step5, check dc while motor run.
motor got a pickup that say if it is running, that pick may be faulty/dirty.
