Lost remotes for overhead door model 556, what my options for replacing remote, company said I needed to install analog to digital convector?

This garage door appears to be "Overhead door" brand but was not sure if it is made by another company with Overhead Door's label on it? was hoping to avoid costly conversion etc! Hopefully you can suggest a remote that is compatible. Probably not even six years old...

SOURCE: garage door opener won't open garage door

did you use the manual release to unlatch the door from the opener? You may have a problem with the door binding and opening it manually will confirm that. You may also have misaligned the sensors at the base of the door so check that too.

SOURCE: 6 month old garage door will work.

On the back of the opener near where all those white wires go you will find 2 controls. One is labeled "up force." Increase this about 1/4 turn.

Remove the cover and take a look at the drive gear. It sounds like it is stripped.

SOURCE: lights on overhead unit on garage door opener will not go off

This is not too uncommon. What tripped the breaker in your house also got to one of the relays on the logic board of your opener. The only cure I know of is a new logic board.

Limited range of your remote controls could be related to radio frequency interference that comes from something in your home or in the surrounding environment. Certain electrical devices can radiate interference; this could be almost anything that is plugged into an electrical outlet.


Please keep in mind that the device can be brand new, or can be an item that has been in use for quite a while. Also, the item may continue to function properly as far as you are able to tell. The only problem with the item may be that it has started to broadcast the interference, with no other symptoms noted.


Some devices are more likely to generate interference than others. This includes TV cable, cable amplifiers, surge protectors, fluorescent lights, battery charging devices (power tools, golf carts, etc.), anything that utilizes a timer (sprinkler systems, lights, alarm systems, etc.), and a myriad of others. If the problem seems sporadic, we can safely assume that the device responsible for the interference is only being operated during these times. Again, please keep in mind that the age of the device does not determine if it is capable of broadcasting unwanted interference. Any electrical device can be the source of the problem.


The first step is replacing the battery in your remote. If the range on your remote does not improve, remove the wall control wires from the overhead unit. If the range does not improve you will likely need to replace the remote control. After replacing the remote, or if you have other remotes programmed in to the opener, and the range problem still exists, please proceed to the Power Down test.


Multiple garage doors:
If you have two garage door units and one is working just fine, you will need to start by unplugging the good unit. This will help determine if the unit with no range starts to function properly. If the range comes back to the bad unit then you will need to replace the logic board on the unit that was unplugged as it is emitting an RF signal that is over powering the other garage door opener. If the range doesn not improve after the “good” unit has been unplugged, replace the batteries and try programming some additional remotes to determine if the existing remotes are the issue. If the extra remotes do not have any range then you would need to replace the receiver logic board in the “bad” unit.

I am trying to install a clicker model klik2u keypad i have a legacy 696cd/b it says to press smart/learn button on garage door opener i only have one button on opener

The original Legacy opener came out with a static 390 mhz frequency radio receiver that utilizes 12 security dip switch settings. The model number of the Legacy openers are shown as 496 or 696. You will be able to locate 12 little switches inside an existing remote control or on the backside of the garage door opener motor.
That opener remote will not work. You will have to call Overhead door, or replace GDO with upgraded security and home link to use opener in car overhead. Step 2 lists openers that the glicker will work with.

I have 556 overhead door opener. The cable and photo eye are just fine,if I hold the hardwired push button the door will go down, if I use the remote the door will move down a few inches and reverse. How...

The f- and f+ buttons decrease and increase force respectively. The number of times the green light flashes tells you the force level, from one to seven flashes, and then solid green light for maximum force. After a power outage, my door would start down and immediately go back up. Found it with five flashes, and actually solved the problem by decreasing force, to three flashes - with too much force, the door moved too jerkily and the auto-reverse mechanism would kick in. I figured out the f- and f+ buttons by downloading the opener manual in pdf form online at: http://www.overheaddoorpartsonline.com/products/MODEL-%23-556-%26-656-OWNER%27S-MANUAL.html

Good luck!
