The garage door works when it wants to.

Now, to close the door i have to press and hold the garage door botton on the wall in the garage. My garage opener remotes don't work any moore...they did last week. The remots do work when i want to open the garage door but they don't work to close the garage door.
We did have some very cold days in the last couple days; I'm wondering if the weatcher has any thing to do with my garage problem.

You have a problem with the safety eyes. Make sure a light is on on both eyes. If not, realign until both lights come on.

Button in the garage works, but remote will not open or close garage door?

That button on the wall is called a wall control. If you have a wall control with 3 buttons and the light in the control is flashing you need to press the lock button and hold for 3 seconds. Make sure the battery in your remote is good.

Wall mount button LED is flashing, remotes won't work, door won't close unless the wall mount button is held down until the door is fully closed

Sounds like you have a couple problems. First of all press and hold the button on the wall control that has a lock icon for 3 seconds and release. This should take care of the flashing LED and the remotes will now work. Having to hold the button on the wall control until the door is closed is usually a problem with the door sensors. Make sure they are pointed at one another and the small light on each is lit and not flickering.

Garage door wont work with remote

If the small light in your wall control is blinking it is in the lock mode. Press and hold for 3 seconds the button with the icon of a lock. This will toggle the lock function off.

Pressing remotes the door won't go u[

It sounds like you have the lock enguaged. When it is flashing it locks out all remote access. Hold the lock button for 3 seconds. The green light should go solid. On the issue of closing, it is most likely a safety eye issue. Hold down the wall button. If it closes it is the safety eyes. Holding the button overrides the safety eyes. Make sure that thelight on both eyes are both lit.

I have the similar problem + the light bulb is on all the time???

HOLDING DOWN THE WALL BUTTON OVERRIDES THE SAFETY EYES.
WHEN HOLDING IT DOWN MAKES THE DOOR CLOSE PROPERLY THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SAFETY EYES.

ARE BOTH LEDS ON? - CHECK FOR A LOOSE OR BROKEN WIRE.
ARE THE EYES WIRED CORRECTLY?
ARE THEY AIMED AT EACH OTHER?

YOU CAN GET THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS AT LIFTMASTER.COM
THE MODEL # WILL BE DIFFERENT BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE THE SAME LOOK AT THE MANUAL FOR MODEL 3280

HOPE THIS HELPS
