Owner's manual for old Sears garage door opener?
replying to JasonW, Gary wrote:
Went to Sears Parts website in model 139.66380 referenced by Jim above. Was looking for a replacement remote. They could only offer a rolling-code converter for $70. Fortunately was able to get the remote working. Any other issues, I think, will mean buying a whole new opener... -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...er-472350-.htm |

There are not really that many types of GDO remotes. You just need to figure out which one you have. |

I bet you could find something on Ebay or failing that, don't they have universal ones where you get new remotes and a new receiver and it hooks up via the door opener button circuit? |

I don't remember all of the details but I had no problem getting extra remotes for my sears opener and a remote for the one I use as a "next" button on my MP3 player. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/next%20button.jpg .... or the one I use as an alarm in my car. (turns on the outside lights and whatever else I plug in the box) Basically you have a couple of frequencies and a different number of dip switches in the remote but if you match them up they work. There are a few sites that describe it a lot better and get you on the right track. |

I bought a package of 5 O-rings from Sears repair parts http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part...t/index.action The 5 rings together weigh about 1/4 ounce and fit in a small mailing envelope. The price of the rings was $3.58 but the shipping was $9.98. I live in a rural area without much shopping around, so I had no choice. I guess I'm lucky that I could even get them. Sears won't be around in any place or form in a few years. Update: part still has not shipped and searspartsdirect.com doesn't know the status. Thankfully, this water neutralizer is the last Sears product I still own. I will never buy another Sears product. Apparently a lot of other people feel the same way. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sears+fina...&t=ffsb&ia=web My experience is not unique https://www.resellerratings.com/store/Sears_PartsDirect -- Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers and having to visit 10 different news stands to pickup each one. Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those newspapers delivered to your door every morning. |
