Cant program remotes to my garage door opener

I cleared all the past remotes from my Chamberlain garage door opener, but it will only allow me to program 1 remote to it now. Individually I can program any of the remotes I have, but after that one is programed, it will not allow any others. Any advice?

It sure sounds like you might have a logic board problem but first make sure you are programming it like this.

Hold down the button on the remote and then press and immediately release the smart/learn button. Do this for each remote. The key is the word immediately. If you hold it in it will erase the one you just programmed.

I just installed a new rolling code chamberlain garage door. it works fine, however my other garage door opener is a much older sears.

the remote can use only 1 button to open and close if programmed right
open the lid of the seers control box and press the program button then use a different button on the remote to open and close
It would appear that the seers unit is also made by chamberlain

Have a HBW1241 which I had programed in my car. Got rid of the car. Now I want go go back to the remote openers which came with the system, but I cant program it to open the Garage Door. Please advise.

Locate the smart/learn button on the rear of the motor unit. Press and hold the remote button while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. Do this for each remote you have.

I have a 3 stall garage with two garage doors, we also have 3 garage door openers. When I push the button on one opener both doors open or close. How can I fix this?

You will need to clear the memory of both openers by holding the smart/learn button in for 6 seconds. After doing this none of your remotes will work but your wall control will. Now you need to program the openers making sure you don't program any remotes for both doors.

Unable to program remotes from opener

TRY UNPLUGING THE UNIT WAIT ABOUT 5 MIN. PLUG IT BACK IN CLEAR THE CODES BY HODING DOWN THE PROGRAM BUTTON FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO PROGRAM A REMOTE TO THE SYSTEM.

HOPE THIS HELPS

Chamberlain garage door opener unit-is it compatible with craftsman keypad?

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
