P.S. Are you sure the problem you're trying to fix is the Receiver in the unit and not really a bad remote? Have you checked battery, reprogrammed, tried a different remote?

It should work. I have a garage opener that is more than 20 years old and the remote was lost. I bought a new receiver and remote from Liftmanster and replaced it and now it is working great. Good luck

This should work fine. I put the white wire on terminal 1 and the red wire on 2 and 3 jumped together. You will need the remote transmitter that goes with this unit.

I replaced the receiver from my mid-1970's Sears opener with this one and it works perfectly. Easy to connect and program.

Thank you all for your input and suggestions. I think my best next move is to get a new one and try it--

I have an old sears Digital Control opener, for mine to work I had to get the 355 LM 315MHZ receiver and a 85 LM transformer to plug into the receiver, and a remote, I got the small one Liftmaster 371 LM , and make sure you have an AC plug in close to plug your transformer in.

IT does have a small electronic board in it. We did have to replace ours when it was maybe 4-5 years old, but it could also be faulty wiring between the switch and the opener. As I recall it's a two wire system, using bell wire (Single strand wire) should be pretty easy to pick up a small roll of wire and re-wire the switch, it's low voltage, but if that makes you nervous, just unplug the drive unit before you start (always a good practice.)

This is for the 2 wire Intellicode openers. The 4-wire ones have been discontinued for about 4 years now.

As a novice at electrical things, I really don't know the answer to this about wiring. I just followed the code, ups and downs, inside my old remote which was taken from inside the opener. I do find the range less than the old one, but I would rather be safe and not open the door too soon! Great item for the cost.

Yes it will work with any opener. It uses two wires on dry contact relays. Just buy a power supply if your opener does not have 24 volt ac power out.

If your GDO has the terminals for a wall button this unit should work. The old Sears remotes will not work with the Genie unit, so if you need more than 1 remote you'll need to buy additional Genie remotes. More info is on the review I wrote for this back when I installed it.

OK on mine, which is an older DIP switch type; not sure what model it is, but it's probably at least 25 years old. Other reviewers have complained about it not working Craftsman openers, which unfortunately means it's a crap shoot, but I'd guess odds are on your side. If you have a DIP switch type, pay attention to the instructions about having no middle position settings, I had to change mine to just + and 0 settings to make it work.

Liftmaster made openers for Sears. You have to have a purple learn button on the opener for this remote to work.

Mine works find however be sure that the small wire antenna from the garage opener is not hidden or obscure. Just try pointing it up like a flag pole to keep it working.

Agree with Husband, Dad, Nerd. Universal model is the best bet. If it wires like this model, you wire it into the "Safety Beam" circuit on the opener. When the beam is broken as you enter the garage the laser is activated.

I do not know if this will work with your opener but I would not buy it. The one I bought worked once and never worked again. Good luck.

Hum, my experience was pretty straight forward per the instructions. However, when connecting the CLLP 1 wires to the opener it is important to reconnect the wires from the door frame mounted safety sensors to the opener just as they were originally installed. In other words if the door frame mounted safety sensor wires that connect at the opener are reversed the opener won't work. Chamberlain tech support can offer further help too.

It worked just fine with my late '80's Craftsman overhead that had a Chamberlain keypad which died. Hooked the new keypad to the inside opening pad/button just like the orginal.

I'm not familiar with the Sears model, but this works with my Chamberlain, and they some of the Sears opener. You may need to call/email Liftmaster for a better answer. At the very least, you need to see if the frequency matches, number of 'switches' for code is the same.

Correct. You need one 888LM to replace each old opener button and you only need one gateway to plug into your router. They will work with any Liftmaster or Chamberlain opener 1998 or newer. The only difference between the Chamberlain and Liftmaster controllers is the nameplate, so buy the best price.

I am not familiar with your opener, but The LiftMaster 850 basically just makes a contact, the same as a doorbell type switch. If you have two wires that lead to a wall mounted switch, it's almost a certainty it will work. If you have a wiring diagram inside your current opener it may help you find a voltage source to operate the LiftMaster. If you have terminals for the doorbell switch wires on the outside of the opener, just follow the wires to the inside of your opener. This will tell you what wires need to make contact to operate your opener. Disconnect and run those two wires to the Liftmaster. Very easy.

I guess I wasn't clear about the wires. This would be so much easier if I could upload a picture. There needs to be a wire for power to the new unit. That's the issue. If there is none such coming out of the opener to connect to the new receiver, you need the power transformer I mentioned. I'd almost bet you need it, given the wires you mentioned. Still cheaper than a new opener.
