Make sure batteries are in correctly and are the right voltage.
test the the batteries with a voltage meter. Not all new batteries are actually new. And you could also check the remote, see if it's paired up with the door. If it's an older model it might even have a dip switches inside. If that's the case make sure the switches are numbered the same as as the device.

There is a thermal cut out in the motor, usually the motor must cool before the opener will operate again. If the opener only operates 3 times it must be heating up too quickly.
First you opener is only made to do your job for you, which is opening and closing the door. If the door does not operate properly manually the opener will not operate properly.
When the door is disconnected from the opener it should lift easilly, it should basically stay at whatever point you let go of it (midway and fully open) and it should close without slamming down. It does not matter what size the door is!!! If it does not something is wrong with your springs and the door can be VERY DANGEROUS!!
With that being said it sounds more like a static lock-up possibly a loose ground or even a circuit problem in the home.

SOURCE: remotes quit working for garage door
I had the same problem with my Craftsman opener but different model. However to fix this I simply followed the instructions that came with the opener and reprogramed the remote to the opener. The instructions are in your owners manual and are pretty straight forward.. John

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: keypad garage door opener will not operate
what keypad are you using with new opener? Frequency has changed. can't use old one. you probably never needed to change things; just needed to follow proper coding procedures.
