Programming of LiftMaster Garage Door Remotes - Garage Door Repair Blogs

Posted on 2016-10-07 by Author admin

You can program a LiftMaster garage door remote to operate more than one opener by following a few simple steps. A new LiftMaster garage door comes with a preset code that allows you to use the remote after its installation as the default code is the same for all LiftMaster remotes. You need to reset the opener to a different remote for preventing misuse by unscrupulous outsiders, and for this, just follow this simple procedure:

1. Get a stepladder to prop yourself within reach of the back of the garage door opener. Pull off the bulb cover to uncover a row of toggle switches on the back of the motor.
2. Locate the learn button on the side from which the openers antenna hangs. It can be purple, red, orange, yellow or green next to a LED display.
3. Now, you need to sync the opener to respond to the remote, not the other way round. First, push the learn button which switches on the small LED light.
4. Within 30 seconds of pushing the learn button, you need to push a button on your opener remote. In response, the light bulb will turn on to indicate that the opener got the signal. In case there is no bulb in your opener, listen for two clicks. You have now configured the opener to respond to a particular remote button.
5. Replace the bulb cover to its original slot and test the remotes functioning. Press the button that you configured with the opener for both open and close operation. It should start working immediately.

At times you may be unable to operate the garage door opener through the remote in the first attempt. This may be due to battery running out. You can easily replace the battery too, but be careful when you pry open the remote. The battery that you need to replace will be clearly visible as it is the largest single object inside the remote. Before this, you will need to keep a replacement battery ready by ordering it online or visiting your nearest garage door opener store.
You can follow the simple steps to easily configure your garage door opener to respond to a particular button of a LiftMaster remote. It is important to make sure that your garage door opener is properly configured to function smoothly and last long. If you notice any snag or glitch in the functioning of the opener, it is time to call the professionals to fix the problem.
