SOURCE: garage door remote won't open the garage door

The little button with a padlock on the wall control is a "vacation" lockout feature that disables the remotes. There should be a small LED on the wall control that is always on steady. When the padlock button is pressed and released the LED should be constantly blinking (indicating the vacation lockout mode is active) and your remotes should be disabled. The wall control will still operate the door. Pushing the padlock button again should make the LED stop blinking and restore the door to normal operation.

SOURCE: LiftMaster 1/3 HP- Garage Door Opens but will not close

I have had a similar problem related to my doors when they get cold-soaked. The tracks actually warp a little throwing the sensors off and causing the door to bind. The door will go down a bit then come back up. I overcame this be resetting the force that the motor puts out to lower the door and it works fine now. If you can wait for things to warm up, use the manual release lever and lower the door by hand and then reset the lever so the door can't be opened manually.

Hold the button with the lock icon in for 3 seconds. This should toggle the unit off vacation mode and your remotes will work.

SOURCE: Craftsman 1/2 HP Garage Door opener problem

The remote and the keypad work through a signal sent to the receiver while the wall console, as you said it's wired directly to the opener, so it's likely that the receiver is shot. I'd try reprogramming the remote to just rule out the chance that all code wasn't erased first. (Press the learn button on the back of the operator head, stand back 5 feet and within 30 seconds slowly press the remote button a few times to see if it operates the opener). If this doesn't work, you can install an external LiftMaster universal receiver with the correct frequency and you should be good.
If there's a purple antenna hanging off the head, this is a 315 freq, use a 356LM, if black it's a 390 freq, use a 635LM receiver.
Then you'll have to reprogram your remote and keypad to the receiver.
Since there's also the issue with the light, there's also a possibility the circuit board got fried. Did you have any storms lately?

My remote controls for my garage door opener don't work. The wall switch does work. The batteries in the remotes are new. Any solutions?

If you have the 3 button wall control check to see if the light in the wall control is blinking. If so press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds. If not, your logic board has most likely failed.

My Champion garage door opener opens by itself and the light does not come on

Look at the LED light next to the SMART/LEARN button on rear of the motor unit. You may need to remove a light lens cover in order to see it. If the light is flashing rapidly this means you have a stuck button on one of your remote controls. Take the batteries out of each remote control. When you remove the batteries from the bad remote, the light will stop flashing. This remote needs to be replaced.


If one of your neighbors remote controls is inadvertently programmed into your receiver, you door will open when their remote is activated. If this happens you will need to clear out your receiver and reprogram your remote controls. Press and hold the smart/learn button for 6 seconds or until you see the small LED light near the button turn itself off. If the above steps have been followed and the symptoms continue, there may be an electronic short in either the wall control button or the receiver logic board. In this case, remove the wall control wires from terminals 1 and 2 on the motor unit. Should the symptoms persist after the wires are removed, replace the receiver logic board. If the symptoms stop with the wall control wires removed from the motor unit, replace the wall control button, and the wires leading to the wall control button.

Last weekend I installed a new craftsman garage door opener. Twice now the garage door has opened on its own. The first time, I thought it might have been activated by one of my neighbor's remotes, but...

Make sure none of the staples have cut through the wires leading to the wall control.

Chamberlain open light

That light is controlled by a relay on the logic board. The relay must be sticking. This is a problem commonly caused by lightning strikes or power surges. The only cure I know of is a new logic board.

The 3 flash error code is "Door control or wire shorted". Try disconnecting the wall control for a time and see if your problem quits. If you used staples on the wiring make sure they did not cut the insulation.

My garage door opener remote will not open the door. Changed the batteries and tried a new remote but no luck. The control on the wall that is hard wired to the opener still works.

Make sure the light in the wall control is not blinking rapidly. If it is press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds and release.

Check the LED on the back of the motor unit. If it is flickering rapidly then you have outside interference. Random flickering is normal.

If this is not the case it sounds like your receiver has failed. It is part of the logic board.

Craftsman 1/2 garage door wont open with remote

If your wall control is the 3 button type make sure the lock function has not been turned on. You can tell if it has because the light in the wall control will be flashing. If this is so then you need to hold in for 3 seconds the button with the lock icon. If this is not the case then you most likely have a bad logic board which contains the receiver.
