    Thank you from an almost 80 year old woman! I haven't been able to open or close my garage door from my car for 2 months. Followed your steps and once I moved the wire a bit...shazaam...it works. I am so happy as my hubby has dementia and I was having to get him in the car, get out to hit the control on the wall then exit through my front door and remembering to lock it. Thank you, thank you.

    I asked my husband months and months ago to fix the garage door opener and he either never got to it or he couldn't fix it. I watched your video, hauled a ladder into the garage and voila, I fixed it. He will never notice that I fixed it but I have the satisfaction of knowing that I did. Thank-you for your video :)

    You have the most complete and well-presented summary of reasons why garage remotes don't work! We found a thick cobweb blocking the infrared light and it was big enough to cause intermittent issues with the door opener. You saved us a lot of hassles.

    I am so grateful I found this video. I have been trying for 2 days to program a remote. I had tried everything, gone to Home Depot to speak to someone there, and came home and found this. It was the antenna!! I would have never thought to even look at that. Thank you so much for putting this together.

    Watching this video saved me at least $30. I was ready to buy a new remote because I thought it was broken; I had already replaced the battery and cleaned it, and it still didn't work. Coincidentally, the lightbulb had burned out and I had replaced that, but didn't put two and two together. Why would changing a light bulb cause a remote to not work? After watching this video I changed the bulb, (again) and voila! My remote is now working. THANK YOU!

    Wanted to totally agree with comments stated here. After trying everything to program a remote
    to my Craftsman garage door opener with no success, I read that if you replace your light on your opener, DO NOT replace the bulb with an LED bulb. I put a regular incandescent bulb back in the opener and it will now work at 1500 ft. range. The LED bulb will emit a signal that interferes with the
    remote signal. Try this before you buy 3 remotes like I did before I found this out.

    It was the final step that worked for me! I did not see the program button on the back of my remote. Also the garage door instructions said to hold the button on the remote, however, clicking the learn button, then program, and single pressing the button on the remote did the trick. Thank you!!

    @claytonfite3197 Рік тому +3

    Your tips are right on my friend. We had a craftsman and I tried everything. The problem was a bad board. The Garage door opener was still under warranty from sears. Great, so I called for a replacement board. I was informed that our model had been discontinued, and the part was no longer available. Sears had a completely new unit in a warehouse and shipped it to our house for free. The good news is it's still working great. I sure do hope that man is OK. That human who walked to the bar had to be blind or drunk. LOL, another great video Jay.

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  Рік тому +4

      Thank you sir!! I wonder if you would have been able to find that board on E-bay or some other aftermarket place. But luckily you never had to find out since it was still under warranty! 😄 Thanks for sharing that and may it work problem-free for as long as you stay at that house! Haha I did forget to add the disclaimer at the end that the man was OK. 😇

    Hi Jay great info, if I can add something about an obstructed door sensor. All the garage doors I’ve had worked this way, if the sensor is blocked the light on the head unit blinks and makes a clicking noise which indicates the sensor is not aligned or blocked. Love your channel and always looking forward to you next video, thanks Bro

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  Рік тому +3

    Cleaning the remote worked for me, but I had to spray it generously with electrical contact cleaner & work the buttons. It took two tries, but it's back in business now. If you spray it, then remove the battery first & let dry completely before reinstalling the battery.

  • @mitchellbarnow1709
    @mitchellbarnow1709 Рік тому +3

    The button that you were pushing said “LEARN” not reset. I have the same type of opener and when you program the garage door opener built into your car I find that the learn feature is tricky to program. That’s just my opinion from experience. I had a lot of trouble programming my neighbors Lexus to her Chamberlain garage door opener.

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for pointing that out! Yes, it actually is the "learn" button, so it's more of a "re-learn" button not a "reset" button.
      Do you remember the process you went through when programming the car? I've never done that before so am curious how it's different.

    Question, about 6 months ago I had a motion light installed outside of my garage, 2 times in the past month I woke up in the middle of the night the light was on, and the garage door was open. I close the door and the motion light outside the door goes out. The light is mounted above the garage door on center, outside. Can the motion light somehow trigger the garage door to open??

      Thank God. The problem was solved after revealing the lamp cover. It was next to the red control button flashing. After pressing the red button, the flashing disappeared, and the remote control worked after its battery was detected, which was found to be valid. Greetings from Riyadh

    Hi Jay! Good to see you again!
    I am embarrassed to admit it, but I lost my opener years ago. I was so hoping that at the end, when you mentioned buying a new one, that you would suggest a good brand, then tell us how to program it. Same as original? Or do they come with their own instructions? Also, if the "lost" original is within range, is it still possible to program a new one? You can laugh at me, it's ok.

      Aloha! Glad to hear that! 🙂
      I don't think the brand really matters. If the matching brand is available, great. If not, then any garage remote should work. Most remotes are super easy to program and the process is almost the same as I showed in this video. (minus the little button behind the remote) Press the learn button (I called it a reset button) and then press and hold the open door button on the remote. And that's it - all programmed. Your garage door opener/motor should have instructions on how to program a remote right on the unit itself too, for further instructions if needed. It's no problem if the lost original is in range. Programming the new one should still work.

    HI jay,
    the garage door opener on the wall is causing issues.
    when push ' open ' button, the door opens ok. but when try to close door, will start opening but if i release the button the door go back to full open.
    only if i hold down the button till the door closes, it works ok. then only
    door will stay shut. only after this issue happened, the remote opener will open the door fine but when pushed again to close,
    it will not respond at all.
    any trouble shoot i could do ?? light bulb is just regular light bulb. will lit
    when door opens as usual
    my second remote opener gives same problem, so battery cannot be issue, i assume.
    both remotes woked just fine before.

      The laser beams at the bottom of the door only work while closing the door. Look and examine these as a suggestion.

    Also, if you have a remote like the one in the video, the little push button switches on the circuit board will get dirty over time. Buy a quality contact cleaner and give the a squirt. Even though the switches appear to be sealed they have a rubber cover that contact cleaner will get under. That and removing LED lights worked for me. And batteries. Don’t wipe down the circuit board, by the way. The parts are soldered to the circuit board and are impervious to normal dirt.

    We just bought two new openers for a Craftsman door opener. We keep finding our door open. We've reset it three times now & it's still doing it. I think it's time to return them.
