The LiftMaster 25-4002-5K overload relay is a motor protection device used inside select commercial operator electrical boxes. In a starter-controlled operator, the overload is part of the motor protection circuit and is intended to open the circuit if the motor draws too much current for too long. This can help prevent damage caused by a jammed door, stalled gate, failing motor, improper voltage, or incorrect phase condition. This 1.8-2.6A version is selected by amp range, not by operator brand alone. The technician should compare the existing overload label, motor full-load amp rating, operator wiring diagram, and contactor style before replacing it.
Select LiftMaster commercial door and commercial gate operator starter circuits where the parts diagram lists 25-4002-5K or K25-4002-5K; commonly used in lower-current commercial motor applications where the motor full-load amp rating falls within the 1.8-2.6A overload range.

For LiftMaster commercial operator service parts, the safest fitment method is to match the original component label and the model-specific parts diagram. Similar-looking electrical parts can have different ratings, wiring, or software versions.
This item may be part of a high-voltage commercial door or gate operator system. Electrical testing, motor replacement, transformer replacement, control-board service, overload adjustment, and fire-door operator repairs should be handled by a qualified technician. Never bypass required safety devices or fire-door controls to force an operator to run.
The adjustment range is 1.8 to 2.6 amps.
No. They have different current ranges and must be matched to the motor and starter circuit.
A tight door, binding gate, wrong voltage, failing motor, incorrect setting, or damaged starter components can cause overload trips.
No. Oversizing an overload can remove needed motor protection and create a safety hazard.
Match the original overload number, amp range, motor nameplate full-load amps, and operator wiring diagram.
