IS MY 139.53754-01 REMOTE COMPATIBLE WITH MY 139.53674SRT2 GARAGE DOOR OPENER?

  • deadcandance Jul 16, 2019

    Ok so I am in Canada and I bought this used Craftsman remote keypad that you install on the side of your garage door on the outside of your house. I assumed that as long as the keypad brand was Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain or Wayne dalton, that any keypad of these brands would work with any of these brands of garage door openers. WRONG!! I spent $40.00 for a used keypad only to find out that it is not compatible. So to avoid you all from making the same mistake...here is what I learned or know now. First off it is very important to try to find out what colour the square plastic learn button on the actual garage door motor was that the remote keypad you are looking to buy , was used with. It is also a good idea to find out what the FCC ID # is on the back of the remote keypad you are looking to buy.Once you have the FCC ID# for example mine was FCC ID# HBW1631. You can type into Google searchbox "FCC ID# Lookup" and that will take you to the FCC's website. If a search box does not automatically pop up, you scroll on the left side of the page and look for "FCC ID Search". A box pops up. The first box is called "Grantee Code (first 3 to 5 characters)...mine was HBW. The second box underneath is called "Product Code (remaining characters of the FCC ID#).......mine was 1631. Hit search and a result should pop up, In that result you see a lot of info but at the far right you will see the lower and upper frequency range of your remote keypad you are either selling or planning to buy. Mine was 315MHz upper and lower range. So that means that my remote keypad will only work with garage door motors that operate on or between a lower and upper range of frequencies that include 315MHz. Now we have to find out what frequency the garage door motor is. If you are buying the remote keypad....as the seller what colour the Learn Button is on the garage door motor. For my remote keypad I bought, it worked with a Green or Purple Learn Button on the motor. So the keypad I bought would not work with my motor with a red learn button. To find out what frequency your garage door motor operates at, you can either call customer service for the brand you own and give them the model number.Or Google the model number to search what frequency the motor operates at. I had a hard time googling it so I just called Chamberlain customer service and they told me my motor is 390MHz. So now I know the frequency range my garage door motor operates within, I can look for used remote keypads, ask the seller what the FCC ID# is, then type it into the FCC ID Search Lookup website to see if the remote keypad frequency falls within the operating frequency range of the garage Door Motor. Hope that helps a bit guys and gals. Kev

This is the most difficult question to answer because technologies and frequencies have changed and there is not a good way to check. If you program the opener to this remote and your other remotes quit working or if it will not program at all then you know the answer.

I have a feeling your neighbor operated their door opener when you were programming your new clicker. Try erasing the memory of your opener and then program the clicker again making sure your neighbors do not operate theirs at the same time. To erase the memory hold the smart/learn button in for 10 seconds.

Make sure that when inserting the 9 volt battery that those red & black wires are not somehow pinched, twisted or stretched. I just fixed mine... The battery terminal was crushing one of the wires and preventing the battery to supply power to the keypad. I found it out by NOT securing the battery case door and my opener worked fine. Securing the battery case door with the screw and thightening, my opener DID NOT WORK. It was that simploe of a FIX!

Raynor Model 120-8 Garage Door Opener. How do I program a Raynor Model 120-8 to a hand held remote please?

ensure that the remote is Raynor and compatible with you model GDO
on the back of your garage door opener there is a colored learn button--press and release-the learn indicator light will glow for a short time usually 30 seconds. within thirty seconds press and hold the buton on the hand held remote that you wish to operate your garage door. release the button when the motor unit lights blink. if you don;t have a light, two clicks will be heard. it has learned the code. procedure will be different for multi function control.

I have a Sears Model 139.53879 (3-Function Remote Control) garage door opener. It's about 12 years old. The remote controls open the door fine but the remotes do not close the door; it has to be closed...

Sounds like a problem with the safety photocells, to confirm locate the where the safety input is on the opener and bridge out the terminals ( not the supply voltage terminals) if the door then closes the photocells are the problem.

My wireless remotes will not learn. Is it a circuit board problem or remote compatibility. It acts like it learns but will not open or close door.

Without the model numbers of the opener and remotes no one will be able to tell if it is a compatibility problem. If it just happened and the components worked with each other before it sounds like a logic board problem.
