Find out how to program your garage door distant management
Up to date on May 22, 2009 Sweeps Luck moreContact Creator You should be capable of program your garage door distant after studying this!
I will be talking about Liftmaster and Craftsman garage door openers. The Chamberlain Company makes Craftsman, Chamberlain, and Sears Craftsman storage door openers. Whether or not you will have a chain drive, a screw drive, or, a belt drive opener, all of them program the identical. There’s a “study” button on the machine that holds the information from the remote control. The be taught button could also be positioned on the aspect of the opener but, most fashions have them on the rear of the machine. How one can find the button simply is to seek out the place all of the wires are working into the machine. The study button is normally square, however, it can be spherical. The colors of the buttons might be white, yellow, inexperienced, purple, or the new frequency is purple.
Look at the photo above and you may see the square (red) button located on the left side of the “Logic board”. The logic board is the pc that tells the opener whatto do and when to do it. It’s also usually the first thing that lightening will hit in a thunderstorm. I mainly is a radio frequency receiver that picks up electrically transmitted alerts. Lightening is an electrical signal, and a really powerful one. The little wire on the bottom right side of the logic board is the receivers antenna. Do not Cut IT OFF! I have have been to homes that the homeowners complained in regards to the distant control solely working after they get actually near the door. Whenever you minimize the wire you alter the frequency of the remote control, and need to change the logic board. The logic board can value anywhere from 85.00 up to 100.00 depending in your area. Oh, the prices i just quoted didn’t embrace labor.
Now, for the programing half you have got been ready for. Hold down the sq. or round be taught button that’s on your opener for about 20 seconds. This clears every other remote controls that may have been in the machine. Word: In case you loose your remote management, or, if you’re going thru a divorce, you want the clear the opener so that undesirable people can not have access to your home. One other tip….. while you go to have your automotive serviced ensure that you retain your remote control with you!
The reason i say this, will not be as a result of i’m saying automotive dealerships or repairmen are crooks, but, there are exceptions to every rule. If you go to get your vehicle repaired you give the individuals your name, tackle, and your distant control. I know of 1 drawback where a customer dropped off her Mercedes to be worked on and the mechanic had her address, and took her distant control, and went to her home that evening and stole her automobile. Just stick it into your pocket until you get your automotive back.
Okay, as soon as cleared, you are taking every remote control, and go to the back of the opener the place the study button is. Hold the remote control button down, and push and launch the learn button. It is best to hear a click on, and the lights on the machine might come on for a break up second. When this occurs, the remote management is programmed. Proceed this course of till all remotes are programmed. Notice: The opener will solely hold five remote controls, or, 4 remote controls and one keyless entry.
I hope this helped. Keep checking my hubs, my subsequent one will deal with programing your automobile distant management to the opener.
Remember: Its good luck to shake arms with a sweep!

Ellen, after 5 makes an attempt to program a remote it begins to drop the others already programmed. Hold within the sensible button for about 15 seconds. This clears the board. Now push and launch the good button and the push and hold the remote. The lightbulb will flash as soon as when accepted. Just repeat this step. Hope this helps

The directions are greek to me so I do not know if I am doing proper, can someone clarify in the simplest and stupidest of terms? Which is the transmitter, and which is the receiver? Do i hold the opener button or simply press it, because I’ve heard both answers. I am lost and confused please help ASAP.
I figured it out. To help others, that is what I did. The 315 receiver WILL accept the 371LM remote. Could not consider it!
First time doing it and now have second distant. I ordered the 371LM from a web site and the man advised me to pop of receiver front panel. Press the one button in front on receiver, mild comes on then press 371LM remote. It was that straightforward. My husband could not imagine it when he got here home within the automotive and was able to use older 315 distant too in opening storage door. Now we now have 2 working remotes for and OLDER storage door opener.
What coloration is the be taught button on the machine.?

John hold down the learn button for about 20 seconds. This clears the board. Then try to reprogram the remotes. Push and release the be taught button dont hold it down when programming. If the machine will nonetheless only settle for one or two you’ve gotten a bad board and must be replaced
John Chitty

A universal distant might be programmed to your machine the same manner . Its a bit difficult but should you learn the instructions it walks you through it
Mindy
I have a dumb query. If automotive visor remotes might be programmed just by holding down the button and then urgent the button on the unique remote management, why don’t they make universal remotes that work this manner? (or do they work that way but just don’t inform you within the manual?)

We have a craftsman overhead opener with the pink sq. button. Our keypad went unhealthy so we purchased a brand new one. After we programmed the important thing pad we had to reset the entire codes so the vehicles remotes then wouldn’t work. How can we get all of them to work collectively. We tried resetting all the codes and programming the vehicles remotes first then we can’t get the keypad to program. We also tried the opposite approach round. Can always get one to program but not the second. PLEASE Help Super Annoyed!!
Joanne..the yellow button is the study button..okay now that i know that…press the yellow learn button for about 15 to 20 seconds…this erases All the remote controls. Next ensure that all remotes hoe the dip switches in the identical position…then take one of many distant controls…and press and hold down the button on the remote…then press and launch the learn button..it should be programmed then…then do the same for the opposite remotes if you have extra
Hi. Thanks for the speedy reply. No, no study button at all. After studying through the internet ….I have come to that conclusion. I consider I’ve a hard and fast Code Setting. After eradicating the light cover on the entrance and the again of the motor unit on the ceiling, all I can see is the antenna, the 2 knobs for regulating the pace/drive of the door, there is one small yellow push button with an L.E.D. beside it………that’s all.
It is a 1/2 HP Steelcraft Model 1160SC . May possibly the code be under some panel I should unscrew on the housing of the motor unit????
I do know the unit works because I held that yellow button down while holding down the distant management in the other hand with the L.E.D. even lighting up.
Joanne..yours might have a learn button on the machine…if it does..all it’s important to do is about the dip switches where you need them and then press and hold the distant management button down and then press and launch the be taught button. If the machine has dip switches they are going to be situated the place the wires are going into the machine..let me know you probably have questions…Joe
joanne
Hi….it’s so good to see you serving to so many people.
Are you able to help me. We now have a 1993 Steelcraft Distant….someone has knocked change the pin settings in the distant (when all they should have carried out was just put in a new battery lol)I’ve looked all over the place on the ceiling mounted motor unit, and on the small handbook controller (mounted on the wall)….and that i can’t find the change settings so I can change the distant back to what it should be. They won’t look like the same switches in the remote I assume….are they written in code perhaps….I can’t find any switches on this unit…Can you help please????
Marie..no sorry the frequencies are completely different
marie

Niloo
Thx. Very useful, however when i program one remote, the 2nd remote stops working! The cycle goes on no matter how many times I do it. What do I do? One of the /2 remotes don’t work?
You want one other logic board..it has taken a energy surge..sorry
Spencestan..sure it sounds prefer it has taken a energy surge…once they take a surge, the machine will do crazy issues. How previous is the machine? What coloration be taught button does it have?
spencestan
I’ve the Liftmaster 1265 security+ unit on my rental. Only 1 (of the unique 2) remote works, I reset the unit and in addition can’t program the renter’s new Jeep to the working remote. Studying the numerous posts above implies the management board is dangerous, time for a new one.
However my question is the working distant beforehand would stop the storage door from opening/closing if I pressed the remote button once more, now I must wait for it to totally open/close before altering the course.
Is this another symptom of a failing management board?
Sure, the exhausting-wired unit works usually to vary direction.
Jair..a inexperienced study button makes use of a 81LM distant..sorry the 97LM is for a pink button..Totally totally different frequencys.
jair
can i open the storage with a 971LM control in a storage with inexperienced light be taught button?, is there someway?
Thanks so much. Much appreciated!
Brenda you need the 61LM distant is what i used to be informed as we speak..hope this helps..they are about to be phased out quickly
Alexis…you might want to get a 61LM remote..which is a dipswitch remote..take the back of the remote off the place the battery goes, and you will note the dipswitches..match the dipswithes on the reeiver and it ought to work for ya
we have no learn button. There is simply a dipswitch in the receiver and not the motor.
Alexis..a few of them work and some dont..i personally dont counsel people getting them..what coloration is your study button, and i’ll let you already know which distant you should use
alexis
hello I’ve an old craftsman 139664020. I simply purchased a chamberlain klik1u and am having trouble programming it. Does this remote not work with this old storage door opener?
Thx a lot in your hassle!
Brenda..i will examine tomorrow andmake certain which remote works that one..i believe its a 61lm and you’ll have to purchase that one from a door distributor….of whick i also am..however in addition they could be purchased on ebay
Okay….in the light of day, I looked at the machine and see that there is a yellow learn button. I held it down for 20 secs and heard a click on. I then pressed the button on the distant and held it down while I pushed and released the study button. If I’ve performed all that appropriately then I am going to assume that the remotes do not work on my opener. As I mentioned….they have been freebies so it was a shot in the dead of night! Let me know if I’ve accomplished something incorrectly otherwise I guess I’ll need to see if I can discover a suitable remote for my opener. I do not see the mannequin number on the opener however it is 1/2 HP and the model# on the back for the circuit board is 41A3493-1. Are you aware if it’s possible to still get appropriate remotes for such an outdated model? I am selling the house which is why I need to get at the very least one distant however don’t want to invest in a brand new opener! thx once more!
Brenda..in case your machine has dip switches..they will be on the motor on the ceiling. Look on the machine and where you see the wires coming into it..look and see when you see dip switches or a learn button…let me know and i can help ya..Joe
Brenda
I have a old craftsman garage door opener (circa 1983). It really works with the keypad that’s screwed into the storage wall however I misplaced the remotes ages in the past. Someone gave me 2 craftsman remotes from the same time period. I opened one of many remotes and it has the dip switches so I assumed I simply had to open the stationary keypad and match the remote switches to what was inside. Now…bear in thoughts I do not know of what I am doing past that! I unscrewed the cowl of the box on the wall (yes I disconnected the power) and that i can see the circuit board but no dip switches. I don’t need to interrupt it so fairly than do something additional I decided to google. Are you able to steer me in the right route? Awesome thread right here btw. thx!
Don..it could have been a detailed lightening strike or power surge.
Thanks. I feel the logic board must be dangerous
Godsgirl..yes you will want a remote that works with the Legacy
The distant was for one more storage door opener I do not think I will have the ability to get it to work, its an RCS 318T and the storage opener is an Overhead Door Legacy. I could have to simply go buy a new distant.
Mig..look to see if the wall button is flashing..whether it is..it is in vacation mode..or locked out..if the wall button is flashing the remotes will not work. Let me know..Joe
Don..this may match or could not..unplug the machine for a couple of minutes..then plug it again in and clear the machine and then attempt to reprogram the remotes..if it wont accept them after this..the logic board is dangerous

Hi, I’ve two Chamberlain Liftmaster Professionals. I haven’t used the remotes in a number of years. I simply changed the batteries in every (3) remotes and cleared all old remotes. I adopted the instructions to reprogram the remotes. Once i press the buttons on the remotes , the program light subsequent to the be taught button blinks indicating it’s receiving a sign (I feel) but the door will not be opening. They only open and shut with the wall mounted switches. Any idea what’s improper?
Viral..you want to erase the entire doorways and begin over..Go to each machine and hold the be taught button in about 15 seconds..then launch the study button and decide up the remote you wish to program to the door. Press and relase the study button, and then press and hold the remote button down until you hear a click..its programmed..do the remainder the identical means.. Let me know if you have issues….Joe

Hello, i’ve three storage doorways. My garage remotes and keypad (craftsman) stopped figuring out of the blue. I hit the learn button on the first two doorways and by some means programmed all of the remotes to open both doors without delay. HOw do i get them to open each one separately (one remote for one door access control system (arlenuno78732.hatenablog.com) door). all the remotes open two doorways directly. It is rather frustrating. i tried your advice about resetting and urgent the study button and remote button but they proceed to open and close both doors together. What can i do?
Cliff..you will have to loosen the chain on the machine. The place you loosen the chain in on the traveler..where the pink launch cord is. When you loosen the chain a little..take the bolt out of the rail that the traveler is jammed in opposition to. Now, before you flip the machine again on..turn your up restrict screw to open less. Id say turn it no less than a full flip..thentighten the chain again up put the bolt back in and then reset your limits. If it continues to hit the cease bolt..you either have a problem with the limit assembly r logic board..check the limit assembly first tho..hope this helps..Joe

I have an previous Sears Craftsman 1/2 horse opener. It has a purple learn button, with a yellow mild that comes on whenever you push the study button. I’ve a gray craftsman 315 controller, with one black button. I tried to push the be taught button for 20 seconds to clear, then push my black button and the be taught button once more.

Brandon
I have a safe ode stanley garsge door opener and two sears/craftsman remotes that are 139.53778. Is there a method I may program these remotes to work with the garsge opener? Thank you!
Micheal if the good button is crimson..you need to use the 971,,,if its green..you employ the 81lm..a new logic board is about 90.00..so a distant is a cheaper fix..hope this helps..Joe
Joe – ought to i return the 971LM and purchas one other 81LM so they’re both workning the freq? is there any good learning remotes available on the market which can be universal to all modules? we’re solely renting the property and don’t wish to spend to a lot in an effort to have two remotes,logic board sounds costly.
– Michael
Micheal..Sure the 971lm is for the pink good button. Im surprised the 61lm is working at all on that machine. You probably have issues programming each the 971lms..you will have an issue with the logic board…..Joe
Michael
Hi Sweeps,
Now we have just moved into our new house and solely recieved on distant for our raise grasp unit. After following the steps on the net I bought the 971LM due to the truth that I had Red programming button on the unit, in saying that the unique remote was a 81LM (in accordance with the sticker on the again) I am now having difficulties programming both remotes, I can get them to work one at a time but not together, is that this a frequency challenge? ought to I’ve each remotes with the identical mannequin quantity? I think it was strange that the 81LM was in a position to work with the pink programming button, the place the remote needs to be for the green button.
Hello What shade is the be taught button in your machine pink, inexperienced or purple?
chrispy
Hey Sweeps. I’ve been going crazy trying to syn my wireless keypad to my opener. I can never get the be taught gentle to blink. My keypad# is 139.18795 and my opener is a Craftsman 139.1847D. Any ideas?? Thx
Jason, i hate to say this however you might have a foul logic board. In case you change the board you are about half of the cost of a new machine…You should just exchange the unit. Sorry but oneremote is all you’re going to get it to program..Joe
Jason
I’ve tried all the techniques I could discover all over on-line. I’ve 2 remotes one stopped working after i washed it. Additionally I’ve 2 brand new remotes. All are 64LM remotes. I can not get the new remotes to program in any respect. I did set the 9 dip switches. On my 2 present remotes, I did get the washed one to program once more. Nevertheless no mater what procedure I try I can only get one distant to program to the door. I wiped the opener clear by pressing button for six seconds. All remotes were cleared. I then held transmitter, saw led in opener blinking, hit be taught button for 1 second. That one works. Once i add the second remote in the identical method door open or door closed it should erase the first remote. So no mater what the one distant that works is the last one programed. I’ve 2 doors and it is identical on both. I am at the point of buying new items. These are a bit older but I believe they’re more current than the 1997 that everyone refers to.
Kewon..no sorry they wont work with each other..Each have different frequencys..if it has a red sq. button..it uses a 971LM distant..the brand new machines have a purple square button and it makes use of a 371LM
kewon
Hey Joe is it doable to program previous remotes to a newer opener? I tried to program without any success the weird factor is that after programming the old one, once i strive to make use of it the light blinks as if its getting the signal however the door doesn’t move…
Sam..no sorry..it has to make use of the 315 mhz distant.
