I Have A Liftmaster Garage Door Opener Unit. The Remote Work ...

Sound like the garage door opener is in "locked" mode. Look for a lock button and press/hold it to see if the light becomes solid. Some wall remotes have a sliding switch for this instead of a button. The garage door opener should operate normally after the lock mode is cleared.

Make sure the green light in the wall control is not flashing. That locks out the remote. If it is press and hold for 3 seconds the lock button on the wall control. It could just be that your remote has failed.

Press and hold the lock button on the wall control for 3 seconds.

Hi,

Find where the antenna comes out of the garage door opener motor and look for either a learn button or a set of switches. (You may need to remove the lens cover from the motor head). If the antenna is not found, look for a wall-mounted external receiver with antenna. It should also have a removable cover.

To program using the learn function, push the learn button on the garage door opener motor. An indicator light should turn on and glow steadily. You now have 30 seconds.

Press and hold the corresponding learn button on the remote. Stop once the motor light blinks instead of remaining solid.

To program a switch-type opener, again take the cover off of the motor unit or wall mounted receiver (wherever the antenna is located). You should see either 8, 9, or even 12 switches that may have two or three positions each.

Open the battery cover on your remote to locate the remote switches. For every switch on the motor, set the remote switch to the exact same position. Open = Off / Closed = On. This is where the pen or small screwdriver may come in handy for moving the switches.

Close the battery cover and test the opener. If all switches match, it should work immediately.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.

CHECK TO SEE OF THE LED IN THE WALL CONTROL IS FLASHING. IF IT IS PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS & RELEASE. THIS BUTTON IS USED AS A VACATION LOCK OUT FOR ALL THE REMOTES AND MAY HAVE BEEN PRESSED BY ACCIDENT.

I would pull the logic board and check for burnt or missing traces on the printed circuit. Garage door openers hate electrical storms. I really doubt it got to your start capacitor.

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.

It sounds like the lock function has been toggled on. Press and hold the button on the wall control with the lock icon for 3 seconds. This will toggle that function off.

a component in the wall unit is failing , that makes the conection happen when the remote signal is recieved , ( it is recieving the remote signal but not sending it out to the control circuit for the motor )
