We're having a problem programming the keypad and universal remote. It took several calls before we could get through to Chamberlain. Is there anyway to get better directions for programming these?

If you have an older keypad, you will need to buy a new one. Our previous Chamberlain keypad was from 1993 and it was a different frequency. We bought a new Chamberlain keypad and it worked right away.

I had the same problem. I had to reprogram my old remote too and did it a couple times before both of them worked.

Read any ONE of the SEVEN one star reviews for this product, for a detailed explanation of the many KNOWN issues this opener has. If you had it installed (and it's still under warranty), see if you can get it replaced with another brand. That is what I did (with a very reliable Chamberlain). Genie continues to sell this model despite the "known" circuit board issue that so many have had problems with . . . . Good luck.

We moved to NC recently and the house had a Chamberlain garage door opener and the remote did not work. The previous owner did not leave any manuals. I ordered 2 remotes from amazon. It has 3 programmable buttons. We programmed each for our vehicles. works well.

Yes I had a problem, It just wouldn't take. I tried and tried and nothing, I thought I was doing something wrong so I didn't report it. So all I did was remove the new hard case keypad and put it on my old remote control motherboard that's in the remote controller cause they don't sell the hard case keypad separate. The buttons wear and break in time.

You should be able to program it yourself. I was able to program mine. It did take two tries though. The instructions indicated that I might have to reset the code sequence by hitting one of the buttons several times (something like 20 times). I ended up having to do that after my first try failed. Once I did that then my second attempt at programming worked just fine.

Make sure the battery is not in backwards. If that is not the problem then you might need a new remote. Try contacting chamberlain customer support and explain the issue. If they can't get it to work then they should send a new remote since the opener is still under warranty.

The keypad does not speak the name of the sensor. It does beep when the entry sensors are tripped, but the speaker is way too quiet and is very hard to hear in my opinion. This is one of the more frustrating aspects of the system, and has contributed to several inadvertent alarms at our home. I have spoken with SimpliSafe and there is apparently no method to turn up the volume on the keypad. We have used a GE/Interlogix system in the past where this is not a problem, but the SimpliSafe keypad is definitely ineffective as an alert that you have tripped the alarm upon entry. Changing this should be a priority for any new design.

Yes, I wish I had changed the old remotes out earlier, it would of saved me some frustration. The new ones work very well and the price I paid was great! It comes with a sheet of paper that sends you to an Internet address so you can program them to your vehicle. Good luck!

I couldn't get mine to work either. I finally held down the smart button on the garage door opener ( orange for me ) to reset all the codes. Holding it for about 15 seconds clears the opener. I then tried again and got the remote to work on one of the buttons. Of course then I had to reprogram the cars and my other remote but they all took in one try taking only about 10 seconds each. Good luck, just keep trying!

Yes, I tried pushing the MENU button to no avail. I have tried all the buttons without success. I have located someone who is willing to sell me their Remote. I will probably take them up on their offer. Thanks for our suggestion

I did not install the keyless entry pad. But if I remember correctly, resetting the code is explained in the Chamberlain instruction manual that was shipped with the door opener.

not that I know of. I had the exact same issue when I just recently bought my house. I ended up buying a new remote for under $30 they're wireless so it was an easy install. In the instructions with the new remote nowhere in there does it tell you how to reset a code without knowing the previous code.

Do you just have the two remotes? There are two functions of the learn button. One is "learn" the other is "forget all remotes" Try programming the keypad last and see if the remote no longer works. You should be able to get the opener to remember many remotes. Also check online for a big comparability chart Some don't work well with others
