If you have to hold down the button to close the door, you are bypassing the sensors ...
Check the alignment of the sensors. Should see a solid GREEN light

I have a Chamberlain Heavy Duty Garage door opener. Recently we lost power to our home for a couple of days. The door functioned perfectly until after the power came back. The door opens and closes well. The problem is that the light will not turn on. I've manually tried turning the light on and can hear a click when I press the light button. I've changed both light bulbs with new ones. I was looking for a reset button, but could not find one. The motion detector appears to function, too, but the light still does not come on. Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
We had he same issue and changed our bulb from a CFC back to a traditional bulb and the problem was solved!

We have a Chamberlain garage door opener and a craftsman keypad outside the door. Is this keypad compatible? We have a third garage door that still has the original Craftsman garage door opener also-is there a way to program the old garage door openers (Craftsman) with the Chamberlain garage door opener unit, or do I need to buy extra openers (we have several teenage drivers!)Thanks,
Linda
Hello,Linda well this is your lucky day ,I have installed garage door openers for sears for 10 years and i can tell you that craftsman,chamberlain ,and liftmaster are all the same machine and manufactured under the liftmaster name , if you buy it from home depot it will be a chamberlain ,if you buy it at sears ,it will be a craftsman, and if you go to commercial building supplier it will be a liftmaster! now getting that out of the way even though they are all compatible ,there is one thing that stands in their way and that,s time ,For example if your chamberlain machine is 5 years old and you went to sears last week ,the chances of the frequency being the same are not good , most likely you have the wireless keypad , one way to test the sears keypad against the chamberlain machine is to locate the smart button on your machine ,this button allows for programming of remotes and keypads , to test and see exactly what im talking about take your remote and locate the smart button ,if you have three buttons on the remote press one of the buttons that are not being used on the remote ,above the smart button their will be a blinking light ,if you press your remote button you will notice the light go from a blink to a rapid flash , This is telling you that you are sending a signal for programming to the machine , well the keypad is exactly the same all you have to do is push the enter button on the keypad and have someone watch for the rapid blinking light ,if they are compatible the light will blink rapidly on the machine so all you have to do now is have someone press the smart button once on the machine your indicator light will now be a solid light you will have approx 60 seconds then to put a 4 digit code in the keypad and then press and hold down the enter button on the keypad , at this point you will notice the lightbulbs on the chamberlain machine to shut off and come back on this is to tell you that the machine accepted the code , after thats been done you can use your keypad , you can also find the owners manual to the chamberlain and follow the same instructions to programming the remote , they are identical in programing , if your keypad is not the same frequency you can also tell by looking at the frequency code on the backside of the keypad and also the chamberlain unit usually where the light bulb is will be its code

I have a Chamberlain Whisper Drive modelHD600. I've check and checked and have no idea why the main rail would bow when the door closes all the way, its subtle but still it bows. If I adjust the down travel so it doesn't bow, the door does close all the way. Any ideas?
What you describe is common with those operators.

Hi I owned a Wayne Dalton 3016 garage opener about 5 years ago. Some how the remote control does not work even I change the battery. I went to Lowe's and they told me that the remote sometime it die but all four of them? Are they right? They recommended me to buy the universal garage door opener remote control (Clicker) model KLIK1U. So I bought it and follow their 7 step instruction but did not work. My question is: Are Lowe's right about the remote just die and if they are right then what solution do I have about the Universal remote control from Clicker? Thank you!!

I can just barely open the door with the remove next to the metal sectional door closed. even with the door open, the range is only 15 feet. can you help please, before i buy a whole new system and still have the problem. Also , do you know the frequency that the remotes operate on??
have you changed the battery inside the remote yet?

Chamberlain Whisper Drive Model 248754 is less than two years old.
The red LED stays on and a beep sounds every 30 seconds or so.
The manual only says "contact for service".
Any suggestions/advice so that we can fix ourselves or at least know what's happening before calling for service?
Thanks!
My battery is bad. I knew it, but did not feel like it was worth any of my attention. The beeping started yesterday and this was worth my attention. Everyone in the family complained. I suspected it was the battery.
I unplugged the unit. Disconnected the battery. Waited for 30 seconds. Plugged it back in. It works fine and no beeping.
I suspect it is a warning to replace the battery.

garage door motor is beeping
More than likely the battery back up is being used or the battery back up unit has gone bad. There is nothing else on a garage door opener that can beep. Look in your book ti decipher the beeping and color of the led codes it is giving you. Thanks

my chamberlan garage door opener keeps beeping
The only thing on a chamberlain garage door opener that can beep is the battery back up unit. It beeps if it is being used or if it has lost it's charge or if it has lost the power to be charged. There is also an led light that will give you information on the status up by the battery too. These will be in your manual to decipher. You can get a new battery at chamberlain.com Thanks BB

my garage door starts going down and stops. it goes back up and will not close. one of the sensors is yellow.
take some toilet paper, or some very light rag and dust the RPM sensor over, under, inbetween and in every spot on that darn thing, and bingo, it will work. Its the plastic ribed piece mounted on the end of the motor under opener cover. If something gets under door as door starts to go down, the RPM`s will slow and thats a warning to stop and go back up. With it being dusty, it can`t sense the RPM`s properly and goes into an alarm every single time. Ugg
