This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Brief, instructional, and to the point. Worked for me right away. Thank you!

Thank you for making this minute and a half video. Solved my problem. Not sure why other videos on the topic have to be 11 minutes. Yours is great.

I watched other videos that were of no help and my garage door would not remain closed. This video was spot on and my garage door works perfectly now. Thank you so much!

Mine just randomly started opening by itself today with the excessive force alarm and this video worked like a charm! Much appreciated.

Me and my husband are just so blessed to watch your video! It has helped us a lot. Thank you so much 👌

Works for the newer Chamberlain models as well! Really helpful!

I had to push and hold the middle button for 1-2 seconds then it entered into the mode shown on the video. Everything else was spot on. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial very easy to follow! I was at my wits end with it, tried programming it 5 times with door going down all the way and then finished up and door would go down till almost closed and go back up. Finally after some time figured out the bottom of my door had some dirt and leaves on it causing the safety to trip. My old one didn't have the sensors

After an hour of trying to fix my door, this is the video that told me the answer. I was trying to use the learn and I guess I accidently got it stuck in a mode where I needed to reprogram the force. I did the steps in the tutorial and now it works great. Thank you so much!

After watching a ton of videos this was perfect. Short and to the point. Worked just the same on my 2023

As others have stated, thank you so much for this video. Helped me with my door as well.

Thank you !! I was trying to hook up a parking laser and hit those buttons by accident screwing up how hard it wanted to push the door down. It’s not like the old ones where you just turn buttons to make it go up or down more. I was afraid I was going to have to call in a repair and found your video!! I appreciate the time you took to help people!!

Very helpful video. Without it, I wouldn't have been able to figure this out. Thank you

Video is very helpful and definitely works.

Thank you very much - I couldn't understand how it works. Perfect.

This worked. Thank you for the video.

Thanks dude, worked great

I appreciate you my brother

Ty I was about to put in a call, you sir saved me from said call!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a ton! NOTE: Mine started beeping and blinking automatically after the limits were set. Just a heads up for others -- don't panic the garage is automatically running.

Stupid thing wow Thanks for helping me out man I had to readjust the door because the arm broke ofd so i put a metal plate and reenforced it back to the door and attached the opener to the bracket I had to do exactly this Thanks so much

Good video .

Thanks very mush really save me couple hundred dollars

Thanks!

Helpful!!

Thank you

I owe you a meal. Thanks brotha!

Double tap yellow program button twice you'll be able to reset the forces you don't have to go through the process of resetting the travel and the force.

*I wished I've seen this video sooner. I ordered thicker weather strip and did the grunt work to slide out the old one and slide in a new one. And it still left gaps underneath the garage door. After learning that it's possible to adjust the limits, now the garage closes tight. I probably didn't need to replace the weather strip.*

Your video helped me save money and from calling someone to come do the job and charge me 200 bucks on it. Thank you

Thanks

Great video. Worked!!! I have been frustrated for 2 days. Stand in my hot garage on a ladder is no joke. Do I have to do this again if the lights go out?

Lol, better tutorial than liftmaster themselves put out

The only thing I would add to this is the sensor range check isnt just about checking the light to get the strongest signal while moving up and down, but also in and out. My green sensor would blink on and off on intensity of the green light depending on how much I went up and down. Going through the steps in this video didnt fix the problem. Just by chance I tried to align them again, only this time I happenned to also turn it in and out, the light then stayed on and with a stronger green light... problem fixed. So make sure you check all directions directions.

Man please I need Tried 100 times Didn’t work still don’t closed all the way down and when go up hit the end of the track ?? Any idea

Mine was working in the day and then I got the excessive force at night. Can cold weather affect these and should I set them during the cold?

these things are a pita, wish they just had the ones you could adjust with a screwdriver at least this video got me on the right track and can close it temporarily

thanks for the video the manual isn't great on the 8500w and after a new weatherstripping the door wouldn't close

Would this adjustment also help with issue of door not reversing when going down and face an obstacle? Thank you

U push twice the yellow button in up position..and run it 1 cycle...that the way to set the force.. I do garage doors and is in the booklet

Hey my lift master isn’t responding and not working when I click the up or down arrow, it just doesn’t move at all, but it works fine when I use it with the remotes.

Great video, if you could answer me this question. Today I went to spray some lube on the chain because it was really noisy. After the lube I push the button to open and then I push the button to close and then my nightmare began. In open position when I punch button to close it goes about 6 inches and then it comes back to open position. I cannot get it to move from there. When I put the lube I did not do anything other than spray on the chain but now for some reason it’s stuck in that position when right before the lube it was working correctly. Do you happen to have a suggestion of what It can be or what I can possibly do?

So what happens when you do the settings and you press the up and/or down to run the cycle and it get stuck again...

this works if you have the two light flicker

Can I get complete training video

I’ve got the wall mounted opener and I can set the limits but after I hit the black button for the last time, it doesn’t go back up to learn the forces when I hit the up arrow. Pretty straightforward watching your video but it’s not working on mine.

The rectangular button is now flashing blue while trying to compete these steps. Any suggestions? I am trying to reprogram my garage door clickers after I reset the garage opener.

Hello, thanks for the video. Wonder if you could help. When I am setting the limits, the door keeps on stopping. Need to hold the black button down and start again. Original issue is that it stops and goes back up. Sensors have a solid green light. Thanks for the help in advance

Having this issue. Ever figure it out?

I followed these instructions and set the travel, but when the garage door runs after that it's still closing too low. The chain on the right is super tight while on the left side is very loose. Why won't it hold my settings?

You dont have to reset the limits to do the force again you can just press the yellow learn button 2 times

2 things.... these ops run about an inch beyond the initial settings, gotta set them short some times ....and when up limits set , gotta make sure cables don't slack

Thanks, but when I follow your instructions and reach the point when I am pressing the down arrow, the door opens back up again when it reaches the floor.

Did you ever figure that out?

I am unable to close my garage door when it's windy without popping the emergency cable. I was hoping to increase the force but this model does not have the capability.

The video is helpful, but I'm on my second house with Liftmaster openers and they seem to require constant fussing with the sensors, and even then we have inadvertently left the door open when it does one of those last minute reversals which we don't catch. Can anyone recommend a quality opener that offers decent safety without being a pain to live with?

Honestly out of all the brands we see liftmaster by far has the least issues with eyes. We run a couple service calls a day just for safety eye issues on all brands. It is the single biggest pain in the industry. If you are having that many issues and you have them mounted to the tracks you may try and order the wall mount bracket adapters. Sometimes the tracks are just to tight or shake to much.

genie ....and I've been installing liftmaster since 1993....the new stuff works ok , but I've seen fewer problems with genie

My motor started going backwards chewed up the belt and it would not stop so I unplugged it don’t know what to do reset button don’t work help if anyone knows the problem

My garage would go down to about a foot and then go back up. This video explained my problem perfectly. Now I can lie to my wife about fixing the garage myself. Subscribed.

Any suggestions for a lift master opener that flashes the light 2 times when you hit the opener. It’s a brand new door brand new install. Checked sensor alignment. All was working great until I went to change the code on my keypad and pressed the button between the arrows. Now just flashes the light 2 times when trying to use any remote or wall switch.

I end up replacing the motor got one under warranty

mine was going all the way down, and up again so I would hit the button again before going all the way up, goes down hits the ground and back up, that pissed me off!!, it took about 5 tries to stay down. I reprogrammed it like you showed and voila, no longer reverses when it goes all the way down.

@1stchoicedoorsllc.253

That's a fairly common issue. Generally the ground has heaved a bit or just something randomly shifted. Sadly with these newer openers we get a lot of call to simply reprogram. I actually made this video for these customers to try and save then a service call.

My garage door does not close all the way even if I continue to press the down button 😢

Quiet man

Hey man I appreciate the info, but I tried resetting it and instead it blinks multiple times after pressing down! It goes up perfectly fine but it does not go down all the way, I have to hold it. Hope you can help. Thank you

If you have to hold it to go down that's a safety eye issue. Or a circuit board issue that thinks it's safety eye issue.

Mine won’t do any of that. Only humming.

Yeah. Don’t forget to adjust force the skipped right over it.

The forces set themselves after the limits are set. After you lock in the down limit you push the up arrow that sets the up and then push down that sets the down. The opener sets its own forces based off of the strength needed in the set up cycles.
