I just purchased this garage door opener and I can't program it. No lights come on for programming. Any thoughts? I can't contact Genie until Tues.

It sounds like you got a bad unit. I went through several of these before switching to another brand.

When mine did something similar I had to wait until they sent me a new control board.

Hi Sharon. I have also had problems with mine. I bought on for my mother and while I liked that she could use it....it has been very hard to program. I will see if I still have the instruction sheet and email you a copy. I can likely do this tomorrow

I purchase two of these and we are not able to use them yet. They didn't come with any instructions on how to program. Took it to the dealer and they wanted to charge $80 to look into but not guarantee that they could program. Please advise. Thanks, Michele

I had no trouble with programing garage doors but cannot get it to do our property gate. I had no trouble with wiping out other controllers but mine is a rolling system and it should not. Were they all set to open this gate. I plan to use google to look into the problem when I get back to ohio...

Hey Ray, I happen to be a garage door technician. First of all I would recommend you to buy new 2032 batteries for the remotes and try that (you might need to re-program them once you put in new batteries). Make sure you put them in the correct way with the negative side down. If that doesn't work then it's definitely a logic board issue. If you replace the logic board, make sure you unplug the unit first. After you finish puttingin the new logic board you'll need to program all remotes and keypad. I hope this helps you

I had the same issue. Mine works fine. Based on what I have read, the "M" is just a revision. Make sure power is cut to the opener before you start work on it. Also remember you will need to re-program the unit to open with yuor garage door opener.

I wish I could but I'm as clueless as anyone. I would love to see a "How To Program and Set Up Various Items For Dummies". I buy things and then can't get them to work & it's usually too late to return. Help!!! Susan M.

Is it the same garage door, if not it might be a different model & code#, that might not work? I purchased a single button LiftMaster, that works on ony one of my three garage doors. All three doors are Sears, two are the same (model /code) & one is different (model/code), al-though the three look the same. Two codes are the same and one is different! Two 3 button remotes work two dooors, but won't work on the third door. Other than that, you might want to call LiftMaster. Good luck, Mario...

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

You will need to reprogram the remotes, you may have deleted them while going through the programming functions. Do read the Manual thoroughly before programming.

Mine worked fine right away. Either check your batteries, or, if they are working fine, you have something wrong with your opener. Good Luck!

The instruction manual states: 1) Lift the cover on the remote light switch to access the "LEARN" button. 2) Press and HOLD the garage door remote control button OR press and release the Learn button on the garage door opener. 3) Then press and release the "LEARN" button on the remote light switch. Both the LED on the remote light switch and the light will flash once indicating the programming is complete. NOTE: If needed, press and release the "LEARN" button on the remote light switch with a narrow instrument. Hope this helps, if it doesn't I would call Chamberlain technical support at 1-800-528-9131. They were very helpful when I ran into a slight programming issue.

Suggest you disconnect the power to the garage door opener. Then remove the logic board. Check the contacts. Are they corroded or bent? Check the Board. Is there any oil on it or dirt? If so, clean it. Is the antenna wire properly secured? If this does not help and the garage door opener has good gears etc. You may consider a new Board.

I took mine to a Pontiac dealer and they were not able to program the remote. I believe I have a problem with a module.

That was my complaint about this item. Mine didn't give me a message or anything. I never got it to work so it's in a box in my garage. I tried contacting someone without any luck. I hope you have better luck than I did. Good luck.

That's the problem. It needs to be programmed but I managed to get it done at Lowe's. They have the ability to make copies of keys w/ chips so I asked the guy if he can clone my working key to this blank no charge. I told him the key lost its programming. I got if cut elsewhere for $2.before bringing it to Lowe's
