The easiest way to program is to hold the button on the remote while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. If it worked before there is no reason for it not to work now unless it totally failed.

I have a chamberlain liftmaster professional Formula 1 Garage door opener that has been working for 5 years. Now will not go down unless you hold the main button. Sensors blink when it hits within 3...

Anytime the main light flashes 10 times and the door reverses to the open position it is a door sensor problem. They each have a small light that should be lit, both should be the same brightness and not flickering ever so slightly. If not tweak them a bit. If both lights will not come on you have bad sensors.

Try this.

HOMELINK PROGRAMMING




  1. Clear out anything previously programmed into the in-car system from the factory by holding down on the 2-outside buttons simultaneously, until the in-car LED starts flashing rapidly. This may take up to a minute (in most cases, the key should be on auxilary, and/or the car door must be shut).
  2. Decide which button you want to make to be your in-car garage door transmitter. Hold your transmitter up near the selected button, pressing both the garage door remote and the selected in-car transmitter button simultaneously. Hold down on the buttons until the in-car, LED light flashes rapidly. This sets the in-car remote transmitter to be your garage door openers make transmitter, but you are not done. You now need to make this in-car transmitter your personal transmitter.
3. Go to the Learn Button on your garage door opener. The button is usually next to the area where the floppy antenna is connected to the motor head. With Genie it is most often behind the light lens, and an indicator light flashes red when pressed. With Sears or Liftmaster (Chamberlain) it is near, or part of, the terminal screw board, and is a red, green or purple square button with a green, amber or purple indicator light. Press this learn button momentarily. The indicator light will turn on and blink if Genie or otherwise stay lit. For Genie systems, go back to the in-car transmitter button you programmed and press this button 3 or 4 times, or until the door starts moving. This should set your in-car transmitter to your garage door opener. For Liftmaster, Sears, or Linear Megacode press and hold the in-car button you programmed until the garage opener light flashes. Your in-car is now programmed to operate your door.

You can try programming it but if you have another remote that works and this one doesn't it probably just quit on you. To try programming it hold down the button on the remote and then press and immediately release the smart/learn button on the back of the motor unit.

When i push remote control, the green light flashes on the back of the unit, but garage door doesn't open.

The flashing LED shows that it is receiving the radio signal but the code may need to be set. Try programming the unit and see if that works for you.
