I have a Craftsman opener with a "purple" learn button but no dip switches. Will this remote work without any hassles?

No, this one is for dip switches only. They have other remotes for the "learn" button ones

I replaced a craftsman remote . I do not have my garage door opener model # with me. but it was installed when my house was built in 1998.

No you need to program it using the positions of the dip switches on your opener or old remote

one site says yes -- you'll need to set the ten dip switches on the opener to the remote opener -- easy to check by looking at your door opener -- check to see if it has ten dip switches in its control

What's a Dip Switch??? I only use it to open garage door and it works well. The switch is a click type so you don't have to press hard.

I don't know, but be careful. I ordered a remote for my Craftsman garage door opener and when I called the seller telling them that it didn't work they told me that it was the wrong one for my opener. They wanted a 20 % restocking fee if I returned it.

Each manufacturer has specific remotes for their product. So you can not use a Chamberlain remote to operate Craftsman garage door opener. Even the same manufacturer can use different remote for their garage door openers. The best thing is to call the manufacturer of your product and check with them about specific remote which you can use.

Look at your learn button on the lift unit inside tha garage itself. The color should be red or orange for it to work.If it is green then that is an older unit that does not code change and squires the older remote.

I have had the same Genie screw drive unit opening my garage door for 22 years. Naturally the remote gave up some years ago. The answer is yes! The Liftmaster remote will work for you. You will have to reprogram the new remote to the same program that was in you old remote. I looked at a lot of remotes before buying my Liftmaster, and I have one in each vehicle.

If your opener " learn" button is red or orange, it should still work with MyQ. See http://chamberlain.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/209/~/liftmaster®-remote-compatibility

I did not have a problem with mine. My original was Yellow and Grey buttons. I replaced it with Green and Grey button remote (as shown). They both had (4) dip switches. I verified that the replacement dip switches matched the replaced remote (which coincidently was exact and did not need to be changed - but if it did, I would have used a eyeglass screwdriver to reset the switches) Everything works, including the light dimmer. I took a chance, as I did not want to buy the complete fan and remote set replacement. For me, it worked like new.

it doesn't work with openers that have the magic button. it only works with openers that are programmed via dipswitch

I bought this for a Genie so I had no problems. I believe the Craftsman brand uses switch programming. If you have a Craftsman remote, check to see how to program. Genie uses an electronic beam to program.

It works with MY "purple button" unit but be careful. It took me two tries to get it right and a phone call to the manufacturer.

Hey Sandie, It won't work with that make of operator. If you let me know the color of your programing button on your opener I can have a solution for you. Thanks... Matty

I had to program it the same way I did the other remotes that came with my Craftsman garage door opener. I just had to get on the ladder and position myself near the remote and follow the directions on the opener which was only to hold a button till the light flashed and also push the button on the little remote. I first checked on the internet for the instructions. It was not very difficult to program at all and it works great. Hope this helped a little. Forrest

It can replace 2 different door openers and can use the learn button for the one and the dip switches for the other. Mine was older and used dip switches. My opener had up down and middle positions. The remote can only "see" up or down. So I had to reset my opener at the motor and then set the remote to the same settings. I only use the one side. There are instructions for both in the box and also online. Good luck. I've been happy with mine.
