My sears garage opener has worked many years with no problem, the only
problem I've run into recently is the remote now only works every now and
then. It's not the battery. I would hope somewhere on this planet there is
another remote # 132A1812. The model unit number
139.653000 works perfect, I just need another remote # 132A1812. Thanks in
advance for any help.

Why do you need that specific model number?

Martin doors will fix you up with a new one.

G,

It could be the remote or it could be the receiver which is part of the
switch mounted in your garage. Sears sells the receiver. Any hardware store
will sell a universal remote. YouTube has videos which show how to program
your system

I assume you looked on Ebay? Checked Sears parts online? As others
have said, I think you can buy universal ones that have two parts.
One is the remote, the other the receiver that gets hooked up to the
wires that go to the manual button, so it will work with any opener.

Try adjusting the frequency.
Usually a hole in the case for said adjustment.
I've adjusted my neighbor's several times.
Finally, took it apart. The powdered iron tuning slug
was held into the coil by some foam that had deteriorated over the
years and it was flopping around.
Shimmed it with a rubber band and it stays put now.

Just tweak it till it opens, back away, tweak again...repeat for max
distance.

You need to buy the conversion kit unless you can find someone with a
used remote. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00283W1GI. You might also find
a universal learning remote. I was surprised that the system in our
Toyota learned the code of a very old Sears opener that was in the house
we bought. But I did notice that the model you have could not be
programmed by some vehicles.

Mr. G-

I wonder if you may be looking for the wrong part number?

A PDF manual for the 139.653000 is available at Sears Parts Direct. The
remote (Transmitter) part number appears to be 6545 or 139.6545. The
manual says, "ORDER BY CODE LETTER", which might be a letter marked on
your old remote.

Most of the repair parts for that model are no longer available at Sears
Parts Direct. One of the universal remotes may be your only option.

As someone else mentioned, your problem might be with the receiver
rather than the remote.

Hi,
Can you tell who is the original maker of your opener? Then find ing
replacement will be easy.

That is a good idea. Sears uses the first digits of their model number
to indicate their source. In this case, the source number is 139.
According to
http://vintagemachinery.org/craftsman/manufacturers.aspx, 139 is
Chamberlain (garage goor openers).

Had a similar problem but never could locate a remote for the existing
equipment. If you have no luck, Google 'SkyLink'. They sell universal
receivers and remotes at reasonable prices. Just wire the receiver to
the opener motor's circuit board. The instructions to do so are included
in their kits, its really easy, just connect a couple of wires and set
some pins for the receiver and remote to communicate with each other.
The remotes are tiny little things (small enough to put on a key chain)
with a common replaceable battery.
