SOURCE: garage door remote won't open the garage door

The little button with a padlock on the wall control is a "vacation" lockout feature that disables the remotes. There should be a small LED on the wall control that is always on steady. When the padlock button is pressed and released the LED should be constantly blinking (indicating the vacation lockout mode is active) and your remotes should be disabled. The wall control will still operate the door. Pushing the padlock button again should make the LED stop blinking and restore the door to normal operation.

The unit is in the lock mode, push and hold the lock button in for about two seconds and the green LED should stop flashing. Your remotes should work.

SOURCE: Remote will not operate garage door opener from outside garage

Will the remotes work in the garage? If yes but not outside with the door closed you might have radio interferace with your remotes. You might have to chage to a your reciever and remotes to a different brand (frequency). Sometimes it is less trouble to change out the operator. Chamerlain changed frequency from 390 (old) to 315 (new).

SOURCE: The wall button has a green light that is blinking

this just happened to us today as well. the wall pad has three buttons: one large back-lit button pad to open it and a lock button and a light button. the open button was blinking quickly and would open the door, but the car remotes did not work. I found that by pushing both the "lock" and "light" button at the same time for about 3 or 4 seconds, the back-lit "open" pad stopped blinking and went to steady green. I went back to the cars and checked the remotes there. both opened the door.

hope this helps someone out there

Wall switch will operate door. Remote would operate door if held next to opener. Replaced logic board but remotes still will notwork at all. Wall button still works. Thanks Adrian

Did you program the opener after replacing the logic board? Press and hold the button on the remote while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button on the logic board.

If the LED is flashing rapidly when the button on the remote is not pressed you have interference from something. Check for old remotes stored in a drawer somewhere or some new electric item nearby. Start unplugging things until that rapid flashing stops.

Use the pull cord and disconnect the opener from the door.

Operate the opener and let the carrier slide back away from the door.

Is the carrier moving smoothly when disconnected?

Next, lift the door by hand from the bottom to the top. Is it moving smoothly?

If not, lubricate the axles of all the rollers on both sides of the door.

Check the cable pulleys at the top sides of the door channel, lubricate them as

well. Are all cables in all the pulleys, there are 4.

After checking those things, there is a "up force" and "down force"

adjustment on the opener, try increasing the "up force" by turning the

adjustment in the direction of MORE force.

Give me some thumbs up if this helps you.

Make sure the green light in the wall control is not flashing. That locks out the remote. If it is press and hold for 3 seconds the lock button on the wall control. It could just be that your remote has failed.

REMOTE CONTROLS WILL NOT WORK-WALL BUTTON FLASHING RAPIDLY

Does your wall switch have a lock feature? By pressing the lock button, the remote control is disabled. A flashing light indicates this feature has been activated.

To deactivate, press and hold the lock button for 2 seconds. The flashing should stop and your remote should work again.
