I'm not the OP but for someone else, I already know I need another
receiving unit. Are those the words I should look for?

Do I have to buy both fobs and receiving unit? Or buy a receiving
unit made for the fobs.

Or is it all universal?



I really don't know. I have never had one die. I would start by seeing if
the MFG has a website and a PDF version of the manual and parts list.
Determine what they call it.

I suspect that there is no such thing as universal. I also suspect that
with the pricing strategy currently in effect that you might be better off
replacing the opener. All the parts I have purchased in recent years are
way out of line with the retail selling price of a new anything. Changing
out an opener with one of a similar design should only take a few hours for
the average handy person. Only hand tools would be required and nothing
dangerous about it.
