Thanks! This video saved me a $80 service call. I followed the instructions and was able to determine the wall unit was defective and still under warranty. Switched it out with the company that had installed it and the new one works great. Took me 10 mins following the instructions given. Best video on this subject!

I agree. Well done sir.

Oh my god. That was so simple. I replaced the remote batteries and didn’t work then checked if the overhead unit has battery but didn’t find any. Then I found this video and figured that someone pressed the lock button. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for the great instructions. This worked for one of my units but not the other. For any future viewers, it should be this simple. If it's not, and you've already changed the battery in your remote, then you most likely need to replace the logic board in the motor

First 34 sec saved me a LOT of time and money Thanks

My thanks as well sir! I was able to fix my issue with the remote and learn a little more about the operation of the door itself that I never knew. My thanks again!!!!

Thanks for the RF interference tip. A recently installed wifi security camera in the garage happened to be source for RF interference in our case.

Your comment on RF interference gave me the clue to my troubleshooting. Initially, I thought my wireless keypad was not working, but I was not able to reset the password. Then, I realized that remote only works in close proximity to my liftmaster unit. Then, I watched this video that the root cause is the RF interference. Then, I realized I changed the bulb to LED yesterday. Once I swappes the bulb back to old style incandescent bulb, everything is working now. Thank you again!

Sir, you rock! Thank you so much for this video. I was going nuts trying to figure out why the remotes stopped working and after watching your video I was able to fix it by unplugging the power for a minute, plugging it back in and reprogramming the remotes. It works perfectly now, thank you! Oh, your beard rocks too!!!

yeah all 3 of my openers wont work so that was a great tip not mentioned on other videos.

Great video. I could not figure out why my remotes (all three) worked to close the door but not open it. Turns out I had accidentally pressed the lock button. Reprograming as described here, worked.

More detailed than I could ask for thank you for this helpful guide

step by step instructions are extremely helpful and i was able to diagnose remote controller problem in less than one minutes and saves tons of my time and money. thank you for making such useful video!

Thank you so much, my remote opener was not working, your video help me.Thanks uncle Santa.

Excellent thank you so much for this video. You covered quite a few Different possibilities which fixed my problem. Fantastic man well done..

It was the lock button for me. Other sources were telling me two flashes meant the wires were shorted or disconnected. Thanks for setting it straight.

Thank you very much. I solved my problem because of the lock key. I appreciate your experience and saving me a lot of $$$. God Bless you

Ah hell, I just installed LED replacements for all my garage lights. I even removed all the ballasts. None of my remotes work now unless I'm right next to the opener...

Thank you for the pointers. I had to use a different code. Apparently one of the sliders no longer worked in its old position. Thought sure my 27 year old opener was done.

This video helped a lot. Every question that I was thinking was answered. Thanks.

Thank you so mucho it helped me a lot, Now my control remote is working again.

Thanks! This video was spot on!

Finally ! Took me 2 freaking MONTHS to figure out that Walmart sold me an incorrect battery (it being only 3 volts when 6 was required).....Your tip at 2:40 re: reprogramming the motherboard, also helped immensely. I was just going completely nuts when the 2-step instructions were failing to work ""Push and hold transmitter button. Push and hold receiver button until flashing stops." Or something like that and it was failing to work !....Then I went - Wait a minute - Why did this transmitter have TWO 3 volt batteries in it ? And what does the ONE Walmart sold me say on it ?....3 volts ! Anyways - Long story short ? It is working again !

Thank you Great trouble shooting guide, covered all bases. Appreciate ya.

Excellent video. Thank you!!!

I just got a 55 dollar service call refund after paying a local garage door company to come out.

Original remotes lost. Adjacent opener in garage remote attempted to be used (3 button remote) main button opens one door and I'm trying to set the second button to open the door I lost the other remotes for. I'm able to reprogram my remote/second button to open n close the door but it disconnects from the keyless entry pad. I reprogram the entry pad and it disconnects from the remote. Both will not connect at the same time.. Any ideas?

Thank you! Dumb ole lock button! That was easy.

On one side of the garage the door button operates the garage door opener fine, but the learn button does not learn, period, neither with remotes with new batteries nor with my auto's homelink system. I tried unplugging the Crafstman 1/2 HP, waiting 30 seconds and then reconnecting, but that didn't work either. On the other side of the garage, the same unit works perfectly. Any suggestions?

Hey, when I try to open my garage door it is weak, at least if feels like it is, every time I open it I have to help it out by pushing it up, same thing happens when I close it, I have checked all the lights and they're all good, can you please help me?

I was adjusting the up and down knobs and when it close, got stuck and now it makes an humming sound everytime I push the button. Is stuck. What do I do?

Thanks buddy!

Thank you, but why no body talk about the home link systems in the car. My garage door opener stopped working out of the blue and nothing works, from cara, from remote controls that we don't use because of the home link systems. The remotes work only if I put the remote close to the garage opener, antenna looks okay and I haven't added any electronic or electric stuff recently? Anyway thanks because your video some how send a light for some issues.

thanks a lot

I can program one remote but not a second remote. When I program a 2nd remote it works but it disables the first remote and vice-versa. It seems that the model I have will only program one of the remotes but not two at a time. Why is that? I have followed the instructions and watched several videos but nothing is working to get both remotes programmed, only one. The wall control does not have a lock button feature yet the green light on the wall contol is blinking, which I interpret to mean the lockout feature is enabled. How can I disable the lockout feature if I do not have a lock button on the wall control ?

thank you kindly good sir

Thank you for all of these great tips! I had purchased a new remote but could not get it to program - I did not know holding the learn button would clear all previously stored codes and had not tried removing power to the motor unit as my next steps - hoping to get it working today.

Thanks!!!! That was our issue

I have a built in garage door opener remote in my car. How can I tell if the battery is low?

I had two remotes that come with my Craftsman garage door opener that stopped working and was able to revive them. It turns out that the buttons inside where dirty and not making a connection. To fix this problem all I did was to remove the small circuit card and soaked it in 91% isopropyl alcohol for about 10 minutes. I blew them dry with compressed air, reassembled and then successfully reprogrammed all 3 buttons. Try this before buying a new remote.

I can only program one of three portable garage door openers to work on three openers. All three wall controllers work fine. The other two portable controllers seem to set the signal (lights flash), but won't open or close the doors on any of my three garage door openers. I have reset the openers, canceled and reprogrammed all three portable controllers, but only one portable controller actually works. So, I bought two new controllers that are supposed to work on these doors. They seem to also set the signal (lights flash to set), but they don't open or close any of the three doors. I removed any and all RF signal noise-producing devices. Any suggestions?

My wall control does not have the lock button, but the green light is blinking - which means the lockout feature is enabled. I can program one remote but not a 2nd remote. How can I un-lock the unit if I do not have a lock button on the wall control??

Is there a limit to the number of remote you can program?

Still hunting for a solution; remote doesn't work only when the garage light is on. It's not an LED bulb, have reprogrammed the remote and have replaced the battery. Can't find a source of RF interference. Remote does work when the opener light is off, but will not work when the opener light is on. Have also tried using when no bulb is in, no dice. Looking for advice.

I accidentally erased the remotes, then I can't reconnect them anymore, what could be the problem? thanks!

I have a sears craftsman old garage opener with SR code yellow button on the back. Pressing the button for 6-10 seconds is supposed to reset and erase all the programmed codes and any remote codes. However, I am unable to reset the codes and the led besides the button never goes off when I keep the SR code button pressed for 30 seconds or 1 min. Sears tells me that the logic board has to be replaced and is not something available since it is an old system. Is there an alternate way to reset the codes on the logic board? Please guide

You can try unplugging the garage door opening for 5 minutes and then plugging it back in to reset the control board. If that doesn't work, then you'll likely need to replace the garage door opener.

Let us know the model number of your Craftsman garage door opener and we'll try to provide some help. The remotes on some Craftsman models have a small button on the back side of the remote that you need to push before programming the remote.

3 remotes reprogrammed. Unit power cycled, etc. Nothing has worked. Remotes will close the door but not open it. After closing door with a remote, wjen you hit the button again to open door it does not work. The light on the unit blinks 5 times. This happens on 3 different remotes that are all different models and were working fine before. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I just had a new motor installed for a garage door. It came with 2 programmed remote however I would like to program my universal ones too.

Make sure that you're pressing the recessed button on the back of the universal remote when you're attempting to link the universal remote to the new motor unit. Here's a video/article that shows how to program universal remotes: www.searspartsdirect.com/article/how-to-program-garage-door-opener-remotes-video.html If you're following the correct procedure to program the universal remotes but they won't link to the new motor unit, then there's a possibility that universal remotes aren't compatible with the new motor unit's logic board. The universal remotes work with most Craftsman models that begin with numbers 139. If the model number of your motor unit begins with 200 (such as 200.57933) then the universal remotes aren't compatible. You'll need to buy remotes compatible with the new motor unit if the universal remotes aren't compatible with the motor unit that you just installed. If you need help checking compatibility of the universal remotes with the new motor unit, let us know the model number of the new motor unit.

My garage door remotes or outdoor keypad are working. I have unplugged the unit and reset the unit. When I push the button on the remote the light flashes on the garage door opener but nothing happens. Both hard wired buttons inside the garage work. Any thoughts on what the issue could be?

Your symptoms point to a problem with the safety sensors attached to the bottom of the garage door travel rails. Check the alignment of those safety sensors and realign them if necessary. Here's a video that covers additional troubleshooting for the safety sensor problem: www.searspartsdirect.com/diy/article/garage-door-wont-close-safety-sensor-troubleshooting-video-lights-blink-10-times If the safety sensors are aligned and you find no other problems, there's a possibility that sunlight could be interfering with safety sensors. If that's the case, you can likely fix the problem by installing sun shields on the safety sensors as shown in this video: www.searspartsdirect.com/diy/article/installing-a-sensor-sun-shield-on-your-garage-door-opener-video We hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, let us know the model number of your garage door opener and give us additional details about the problem.

Try replacing the batteries in all remote devices. That sometimes fixes the problem that you're describing. If replacing the remote batteries doesn't help, then your symptoms point to possible RF interference interrupting the close signal. Motion detectors on security lights or home alarm systems can cause RF interference. Electronic game consoles can also interfere with RF signals. When the remote isn't working to close the door, use the wall control to close the door then test the remote to see if it will open the door when it's in the same location and situation that it was when the remote wouldn't close the door. If the remote won't open or close the door, then RF interference is likely causing the failure. Try to find and eliminate the source of RF interference or install the antenna extender ( www.searspartsdirect.com/part-number/41A3504/0009/139.html ). We hope this information helps. If you need further assistance, let us know.

If the motor unit lights blink when you try to close the door using a remote device, then the safety sensors are likely blocked or misaligned. Watch this video for troubleshooting tips on the safety sensors: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmVhzKN7dsS1fLg.html

If you haven't replaced the battery in the wireless wall mounted keypad outside your house, then a weak battery in that device could be causing the problem. Replace that battery and try to program the car remote. If that tactic doesn't help, try holding the car remote a few feet away from the garage door opener motor unit when attempting to program the device because RF interference can prevent the logic board inside the motor unit from programming the remote. We hope these tips help. If you need further assistance, let us know.
