Out of the blue the other day my remote stopped working on the garage. Push button on the wall opens and closes the garage fine, because it's wired. I'm having a similar remote problem with my 1/2HP Craftsman with the Red learn button. I just went and bought a whole new system because I only had the one remote, where the new system was on sale and came with two remotes and a key pad. Which ever you learn first (rolling or non rolling) sets the rules for the motor to follow for the next remote you try to integrate. When you have the motor learn its codes, it tells teh motor it is not a rolling code remote but a single code remote, and when you try to add the others that were working it will not because they are still rolling code - or vice versa if you learn a rolling remote first then a non rolling remote will not work. What happens is with the one I had (dont remember if the button was purple or red or green) but alot of the times when a remote if powered down, and then powered up again when replacing the batteries, it will stop rolling the codes as it is supposed to. I tried everything and found that this is actually a common issue. I had this issue when I changed batteries on my keypad, I had to reprogram it and after I did, my factory remote stopped working. Once the light goes out you must enter the 4 digit code again.George, what color is the learn button on the motor? When the door closes you can re-open it while the light is still on in the keypad by pressing any key. Note: while the opener is working you can touch any key on the keypad to stop/reverse it. Enter desired 4 digit code on the keypad. To program the following is the easy procedure Just open the small rectangular plastic plate on the panel where the battery is located, move switch to "program". It is very easy while working with the panel to accidentally push the large button on the panel and operate the door opener! The door might strike you or someone else. The reason to unplug the opener is probably a safety concern. What is being programmed is the circuit board in that panel NOT the opener as is done with wireless remotes for your cars or wireless keypads. In fact, if you unplug the battery the circuit board in the panel has no power and cannot be programmed. Make sure you have a fresh battery! There should be no need to disconnect the battery or unplug the opener. When the battery dies the code is lost and needs to be reset. Have had it for 25 years since it came with a 1994 Craftsman opener. The Keypad is wired to the indoor panel and the panel is wired in turn to the opener. I have the same keypad outside the garage and a panel with large rectangular pushbutton inside. The button pad that the keypad is wired to does have a PROGRAM/OPERATE switch under the nameplate. Should I instead have remove the battery at this point? So when it said to unplug the opener from the electrical outlet, I instead removed the wires from the button pad opener to the actual opener in the garage ceiling. I followed this, although the button pad is wired with a battery. Slide the switch back to operate and plug the garage door opener back in. Next, enter your desired four-digit PIN number into the keypad. Next, remove the nameplate from the console that the keypad plugs into and locate the program/operate switch. "Is this a hard wired keypad? If so: To program the keypad, first unplug the garage door opener from the electrical outlet. The best instructions I found for a keypad without an enter key say this: The keypad is wired to a button pad just on the inside of the door. The keypad does NOT have an ENTER key, but it has '*' and '#' buttons, in addition to the 0-9 numbers. The keypad itself is Liftmaster, but the unit itself and wired openers (the button pads to open/close it) are Sears craftsman model 139.53425SRT. No problems with this until recently the external keypad stopped working. We moved into this house about 15 months ago.
