Sears Craftsman LiftMaster Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Wireless Keypad Model 976LM Security+ Logo
Posted on Jan 24, 2009

Grage door blinking yellow, click and won't open with anything.

I have 1/2 Craftsman garage door that is around 10 years old. It was working fine. I lost the remote and I purchased a car that has home link. I reprogrammed the car home link, and my new remote that I recently purchased. Everything worked fine that day, door open and close no problem. Next day, I can not open the door with the remote or the car or the wall mount either.
The unit on the ceiling is flashing yellow. When I push the wall, any of the remote the unit is making a click, but won't open.

TRY RESETTING THE UNIT BY UNPLUGGING IT FOR ABOUT 5 MIN.

IF WHEN YOU PLUG IT IN THE REMOTES STILL DON'T WORK TRY TO REPROGRAM THEM.
IF STILL HAVING TROUBLE--
COUNT THE FLASHES - GOTO LIFTMASTER.COM DOWNLOAD A FREE PDF FOR A SIMILAR UNIT (THE MODEL NUMBERS ARE DIFFERENT BUT THE CODES ARE THE SAME).
HOPE THIS HELPS

Call around to the Chamberlain dealers in the yellow pages. They might have one in stock. The part number is 66LM. They are expensive though. $55.00. You might consider replacing that old opener you have.

Anytime the main light flashes 10 times and the door reverses to the open position it is a door sensor problem. If the transmitting sensor light is blinking it is bad.

If you cannot get the light on the sensor to come on by tweaking it,making sure it is pointed at the other sensor and your wiring is not broken or shorted then your sensors need to be replaced.

Check to make sure your door sensors are properly aligned. They each have a small light and both lights will be on if they are aligned.

Make a slight adjustment to the Upward force on the side of the machine. Turn the screw a 1/4 turn each time and test, see if that helps. Also, make sure there are no obstructions or friction when the door opens and closes. Try it manually first.

Garage door opener motor will not open garage door

It sounds like you did a really good job! My Craftsman 1/2 hp gar. dr. opener has a red reset button on it on the l/h side as you are looking at the light/motor from the garage door opening. You have to take the light cover off to be able to see it. My reset button is on the same side as the ground wire. You might check the ground wire while you're there. I really hope that this fixes it for you (and me). I'm quite sure it will as you know your way around the garage door opener already. Good Luck and Let me Know (Please) if it fixed it or not. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know. Have a Good Day!
