Garage Door Opener quit working
Sort of. It still works with the door button, but I have two remotes
with good batteries that won't program. It's a 7 year old Chamberlin/liftmaster and the remote is 373LM. Suggestions? |

Presumably, you have just ONE door? I.e., don't have a second opener on which you can test the remote? Is that the remote that handles *3* doors? If so, have you tried programming buttons other than the "first"? I.e., in case the actual "button" has worn out? Are you getting any tactile feedback from the button? I.e., does it have the same "click" and "feel" as the others? Have you tried erasing all the codes from the opener and then trying to program? I.e., is the problem in the remote or in the opener? Does the opener do ANYTHING when you attempt the programming sequence? I.e., does it "see" that you've activated the remote (even if it is rejecting the programming operation)? Is the antenna wire visible in the opener? |

My garage door opener never quits working. I either lift the door up, or pull it down, and my hands always work! I've never had a power door opener, but I believe they have a switch on the motor device to change the frequency. That's so the neighbor's remotes dont open YOUR door. Maybe that switch got bumped and needs to be reset. |

This is a long shot but my garage door openers act very stupid when they have CFL or LED bulbs in them.
Maybe try it with incandescents? |

I took the CFL out and replaced it with an incandescent, solved the problem of that light not working properly, but didn't improve anything else. I'm pretty much of the opinion that something on some circuit is broken which probably means it's beyond my repair expertise. I'm thinking of going to the big box and getting a new universal remote to try and if that doesn't work I'll think about using this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Chamberla...rol-Replacemen t-Kit-955D/100431670 |

Maybe that switch got bumped and needs to be reset. Owners manual will help. No manual? Download one. Ones with limit switches are pretty old models. New ones are either done with adjusting pots or by software pushing couple switches. Even motor is DC driven (small but more torque) Remote also is now spread spectrum rolling code, even syncs. with your car. this is the owners manual and I don't see any mention of the ability to change the frequency http://www.manualslib.com/manual/268...er-373lm.html# manual |
