    If this unit can be operated with a wireless remote, then you should be able to purchase a universal wireless battery operated keypad. To determine if it is wireless look at the lift unit and see if there is a antenna (thin insulated wire) hanging from the unit. If so, go to Sears or any bigbox home store and purchase a universal wireless remote. You may also have corrosion on the wires inside the outside keypad. There may be a few screws hold the front and back of the keypad together. Before taking this off make sure power has been disconnected to the unit. Mine (battery operated wireless remote) had corroded the wires from the battery to the remote and I had to replace the wires.

Are you sure it's hardwired? I have a 12yr old kenmore, and it uses a 9volt battery to power the key pad.

Testimonial: "Definitely hard wired. There's a cable that goes from the keyboard on the outside, through the door jamb to the button on the inside of the garage. there might be a battery in the console, but the console is working just fine."

    I just learned from Sears that the part is no longer available (the manual says "no user serviceable parts") (the system is at least 15 years old) so my next question is can I get another keypad of a different model and connect it to my existing garage door opener?

Is your unit hardwired? If not batteries are likely issue, if it ever corroded, due to battery leak, the connection fails early on subsequent batteries..Consider anti battery acid gel.

if it is hardwired, look for damage on wiring. something laid against the wiring or controls...

Craftsman Model 139.53684 Keyless entry doesn't work

The remotes and keypad use the receiver which is part of the logic board.'t The button on the wall is hardwired and doesn't use the receiver. You might pull the logic board and check for bad connections on the printed circuit.

If there is a missing door opener, how do i delete all the openers and start over.?

You can hold the smart/learn button in for 6 seconds and this will erase the memory from the logic board. None of your remotes or keypad will work at this time. The wall control which is hardwired will still work. Now you must program your keypad and remotes.

It is really important that you get the correct keypad for your opener. If you got the wrong one you will have the problem you describe. There is a possibility the remote is bad but the odds are against the keypad at this point.

Garage door will only close with keypad code it will not open

UNPLUG THE UNIT AND WAIT 5 MIN.
WHEN YOU PLUG IT BACK IN CLAER ALL CODES BY HOLDING DOWN THE PROGRAM BUTTON FOR 20 SECONDS.
NOW TRY TO PROGRAM EACH REMOTE AND KEYPAD - IF THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM CHANGE THE BATTERIES AND REPEAT THIS PROCEDURE.

I HOPE THIS HELPS
