If your garage door opener has a "learn button" make sure to hold in in for a few seconds before releasing it. When the LED light next to the learn button lights then press and hold the remote button for a second or two. The LED light next to the learn button will flash and then will go off. The transmitter should the be programmed. I stood on a ladder next to the opener when programming for convenience. Check for battery weakness if problems persist. If your learn button is not green you may have an incompatible device.

Make sure the battery is not in backwards. If that is not the problem then you might need a new remote. Try contacting chamberlain customer support and explain the issue. If they can't get it to work then they should send a new remote since the opener is still under warranty.

Sorry, Jennifer...my opener is from Sears and the learn button is red/orange; I don't know whether yours will work!

Most openers I have seen have at least 4 wire leads, 2 of them turn the motor on. the other 2 leads turn the light in and off with the wall switch. look at the wiring diagram of the opener to find out which ones control the opening operation of the door. Remove the other 2. try the door opener. The light should go on even if the 2 leads from the wall switch are not connected. Therefore, the light should also work when you are using the new remote you bought. I'm not sure, but I think the wires from the wall switch are not connected to the correct terminals in the opener.

I followed he step by step instructions and everything ran smoothly. Might be an issue with the board. If the opener is under warranty call. I have had mine replaced already once.

Are you referring to the light bulb on the actual garage door motor? If so, we had one that doesn't light and my husband said he heard a clicking noise when the light bulb was supposed to blink. There is also something in the instructions regarding this issue.

My opener was made in 1990. If the dip switches are set properly it should work. There is a learn button on the motor unit. After the dip switches are set press the learn button on the main unit. Hold down the button on the remote. It worked for me.

Not sure...I had a problem with my 15 year old Liftmaster, and tried to replace the receiver, but that didn't work....the frequency was wrong, or whatever....then I needed a transformer......and was getting nowhere......so eventually I replaced the entire garage door opener....so no more problems. I should have realized that there was a problem, when the yellow LED on the old unit started blinking....I ignored it and then the remotes wouldnt work....and I returned the receiver for a refund.

Is your garage door opener one of the listed ones and does it have an orange button on the back. Did your old one no linger work? I have a raynor navigator bought in 1998. There are tests you can run which will insure it is not the garage door opener at fault. Have you tried any of these? It turned out my garage door opener had a bad circuit board, I replaced it before ordering the remote. The board is simple to replace as the whole rear of the unit is sold as one piece. No soldering, just a simple connector is all that is needed. The remote then worked fine.

The instruction manual states: 1) Lift the cover on the remote light switch to access the "LEARN" button. 2) Press and HOLD the garage door remote control button OR press and release the Learn button on the garage door opener. 3) Then press and release the "LEARN" button on the remote light switch. Both the LED on the remote light switch and the light will flash once indicating the programming is complete. NOTE: If needed, press and release the "LEARN" button on the remote light switch with a narrow instrument. Hope this helps, if it doesn't I would call Chamberlain technical support at 1-800-528-9131. They were very helpful when I ran into a slight programming issue.

Two thoughts first press the red button on the top of the black little box where the power cord attaches to the LED Board. It should come on immediately; unless something is seriously wrong with the board. Then check your remote control open up the battery compartment there may be a piece of the plastic tab still in there or the battery may have come loose during shipping. If you open the battery compartment and there's no plastic in there and the battery is in the proper place you may simply need a new battery. Mine has been up and running since day 1. If none of these seem to be the problem I would return it for a replacement. Good Luck.

Replacing a spring should not affect it, but I would start by checking to be sure the opener has power in case the installer unplugged it and forgot to plug it back in. If it is powered, look to see if anything was disturbed or obstructing the safety beam system. The red light on the beam should be a steady "on". If that is clear, I would try pulling the cord to release the door from the opener mechanism and see if the door is jammed. You should be able to open/close it manually. If the replaced spring does not match your original tension it may have cocked the door and jammed it. With the door still disconnected try the opener and see if the motor runs. If it does, the opener should work OK when you reconnect the door. If not, you may need to get the opener checked. To repeat, replacing a spring should not have affected the opener itself. Hope this helps.

Well if the red button that says OPEN doesn't open the drawer. Check the batteries. If it isn't that, I don't know. I'm sorry :)

I have three, the third one was the recent one for my son's truck. When I programed his, I also reprogramed the other two. Push the button on the back of the liftmaster, until it blinks. Program each one at a time. That should fix it.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don
