I have a garage door opener from Craftsman, I don't know the model. It is
about 10 years old. It will open from the manual switch, but not from the
remotes. I know how to re-program them, but that has not helped. This
has been a problem for a while, it seems off and on as to whether the
remotes will work. I assume the receiver in the opener to be defective,
and I doubt
it is replaceable. The mechanical part of the opener seems fine.

What is your recommendation on a new opener ?? Another Craftsman? What
about Genie ? The one I have is a chain driven type, and I wonder if the
belt driven types are better??

Thanks for any tips or advice !!

Genie worm drive is a good unit. it's about $150-175. and you can get an
outside keypad to open from outside the garage. I'd stay away from
Crapsman.
