My opener no longer accepts signals from remotes. The wall switch operates the door, but remotes will not. I have reprogrammed the remotes several times ( I was able to easily program a new remote on our 2nd door opener (same year, make model as the one not working). I was able to program a remote, but it only opened the door, now it won't open or close the door.
This sounds like a similar problem that I had. The circuit board on the garage door motor has a capacitor that goes bad and this prevents the remotes from working. You can either buy a replacement circuit board online (for around $80 if I remember) or if you can solder, simply replace the capacitor for a few dollars. I answered a similar question on this site before after I went through the process. There are more details there. The capacitor in question was close to a heat producing component and over time it cooks.

COULD BE A BAD REMOTE, I WOULD TRY ANOTHER ONE FIRST. COULD BE A FREEZER ETC. PUTTING OUT INTERFERENCE. OR Anytime a door opens and/or closes randomly or doesn't work consistently I look for a smashed wire between the motor unit and the wall button. If the wire is smashed the insulation becomes so thin that power will leak thru the insulation and activate the door or interfere with the remote signal. Loosen the staples with a small screwdriver and slide the wire about ½ inch to move any areas of thin insulation away from the staples. The second thing would be a bad wall button or a remote with a sticking button. Or a remote in someone

On the wired end of the machine is a "Smart" button.
On one of the machines, press and hold the button for 10 seconds, that will clear the memory. Now no remote will operate the door.
Press and release the "Smart" button, and then press one of the buttons on you remote that does not open the other door. The light will flash off and on. Now that button will open the 2nd door.

Something could be blocking the electric eye.they are down at ground level on both sides of the door
