I have a Logic 3 that is operated by a single RF remote. How can I add a manual button? Can I add additional RF remotes?
Either program another remote and stick it to the wall or hardwire a button to the SBC terminals on the board.
Can I upgrade a Logic 3 opener by installing a Logic 5 board?
Worked perfectly, great video!
I have replaced my sensors and the one eye that is amber is lit, but the green one is not lighting up at all.
Did you replace the wires too ?
Just from behind the sensors, not all the way to the unit
It will close if I manually hold the door closer but when i try my remote it doesn’t close at all.
Either cut the sensors out and connect direct to the opener or replace the wire. If you connect direct it will pretty much tell you if the wire is bad or if the board is bad. Always unplug the unit when connecting or disconnecting the sensors.
fixed my issue! Simple and straight to it thank you
Great, Thank you!
How do you program a key pad to the logic 5?
I have (4) LiftMaster Logic 5.0 Secruity 2.0 myQ door openers, do I need to add a 828LM to each door I want to operate with my app?
I believe you can connect multiple device with one gateway as long as they are within range. We never got into the MyQ much as our commercial customers never had a use for it so I don't have a whole lot of experience. Liftmaster tech support would be a better resource for MyQ questions.
What are you supposed to do if it is completely out? e.g. the wing nut came off. Do you just keep wiggling in all directions and guessing?
How to connect to Crosslink
I'm not familiar with crosslink.
What my stomach feels like after Taco Bell 0:14
Do not breathe on the spring-locks, as moisture may loosen them and cause them to break loose.
How do I make this work with my home link buttons in my car? It’s a 6 button (3 remote buttons/ 3 setup buttons) rear view mirror.
It/they would need to be programmed. Every HomeLink is a little different so I would recommend following the program instructions from the vehicle owners manual. As far as the door operator side, I suggest the same if you are not familiar with the procedure. Manuals are available online if you do not have one. Good Luck!
Thanks.
No Problem, Thank you for watching !
Hello, great videos, thank you! I do property maintenance for 2 4-story apartment buildings with underground parking, and we have these Liftmaster Logic 5 openers installed with braking mechanism. One has the older brake I'll call paddle style, while the other opener, recently replaced, came with a newer(?) drum brake. The paddle style works great, while this newer different drum brake style is junk. The brake pads wear down fast, in which the door then resumes its coasting. I understand this drum brake is adjustable, however I can't find any info anywhere (including Liftmaster website) on how to adjust it. I know it is simple, I just want to adjust it properly, without causing other issues if I happen to adjust the wrong bolt/nut. Thanks again!
Most helpful video i have come across on this issue.Solved my issue i was having.Thank you sir.
You are Welcome and Thank you!
Sir how to do its convection please make a video sir i have a new 220 phase motor
I assume you mean how to make the motor wiring connections. If so, there is a wiring diagram on the inside of the electrical enclosure cover, it would be best to follow that for whatever model you have.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471yes sir i checked the wiring but motor is not working
Real good explanation about safety sensors purposes and adjustments. As garage door technician I like your approach. Most videos on TH-cam just confuse my customers even further!
Kind of what led to the making of this video. Thanks for watching and the feedback !!
I’m in Jacksonville Florida and I have one that’s putting out a rpm sensor malfunction( 2 blinks ) . Do you have any recommendations?
My garage closes and open by itself. Is there anyway I can lock it . I have a craftsman motor and Chamberlain remote
Get it closed and unplug the power cord. That’s the only way to ensure it won’t open on its own. If you know it’s a remote causing it to open and close you can turn on the Lock feature assuming your unit is equipped (press and hold the “lock” button for a couple seconds to turn on or off) if it’s not being caused by a remote this will not stop it from happening.
I received 1hp motor for repair used on these, but there is no centrifugal switch inside the motor, can you provide electrical connection diagram.
There is (should be) a wiring diagram on the electrical enclosure cover of the operator. That would be the best to go off as I have no idea what model you are working on. Good luck!
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 thanks for replying, it came far from the desert so i have no chance to talk to a technician, the motor is the big one on the thumbnail , the left most one, the one vertically planted, it is AO smith made.
Motor is wired gor 220 volts ,There is a capacitor of 650 microfarad 125VAC, so it should be the starting capacitor, but there is no centrifugal switch, do they use any kind of electronic switches for isolating starting winding after the motor starts.
If its newer that is correct there is no centrifugal switch its all done by the logic board/power board. Sounds like you are putting an old motor on a new unit or new motor on an old unit. I don't modify these units like this so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to help you with this one. @@harishharikumar1543

Great video - What keypad can I use for the T501L5 operator? I have attempted to connect the 877LM with no success
Thank you. 877LM is the ideal model if you don’t need a commercial keypad. Otherwise you can use the 877MAX or its replacement the 878MAX. The KPW5 & KPW250 are commercial keypads that are also compatible.
If this was intended to be instructional, it failed
Can you do a video on exact setup with the internet gateway and the t501l5 and Myq
so my sensors are okay, but suddenly, the craftsman garage door opener stopped operating, and the yellow led is slowly blinking, why suggestions? It seems like the control unit that is attached to the wall is not responding, for some reason. Only lights get turned on when you cross the sensor path.
Thanks for the video , it helped me adjust my sensors.
Great video. I always wondered how the spring behaves when it breaks. Some garage repair contractors make it sound as if you're 'toast' if you're anywhere near it when it breaks or you let go of it when winding or unwinding. Thank you for sharing.
Every diy spring repair video has a tech in the comments telling people their gonna die if they don't call a professional 🙄
If it catches your clothing or anything when unwinding god help you
That's why I always wind'em naked from the waist up...nothing to catch😆@@CheckOne2
😊 thanks for all your help I followed your video
Thank you
You are welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much , exactly what I needed to fix the garage door
Can a additional antenna be added to help pick up the Wi-Fi signal on these openers? We have 2 of these openers with a very strong signal in our newly built shop and our main internet connection is set up out here w/our router in the shop too. Often times when I am away from the shop or even in the shop it shows on the myQ app that my 2 shop doors are offline, but my third door which is our garage, is also on the same internet connection always stays online. Why am I having this problem? I would think the signal in our shop is more than plenty strong, but 9 out of 10 times it is offline.
Not to my knowledge. Generally we don’t get to involved with the internet side of things as that is better suited for the IT guys that do it every day. I would probably say you need a repeater or extender to get the Wi-Fi signal out to the other doors but that would be from the IT side not the operator manufacturer or installer. I think the Wi-Fi antenna on the door operator is built-in to the circuit board, the one you see on the outside of the machine is the radio antenna for the remote(s). Good luck.
My app told me it was a sensor issue. For me it is sporadically. Like it will be fine one time and then the next time it will reverse a few seconds after it descends. One time it also reversed 1 foot prior to hitting the floor, but not recently. I checked the sensors and the alignments and everything looks good/steady lights. I did brush away any debris or cobwebs near sensors and underneath the door. Any ideas or things to look out for? TY
If you can’t wiggle the sensors without the led light going off or flickering the sensors aren’t lined up properly and if they aren’t lined up properly the door may reverse at any number of positions. The sensors are likely clipped on to the door track, when your 150-500lb door moves it may vibrate or shake the track which could cause the sensor to go out of alignment. Hence the importance of having the sensors installed and adjusted properly. If your certain everything is as it should be and still have issues it could be a wiring issue, a bad sensor or a bad logic board.
Wow what you said first was happening. I was wiggling the green sensor to fix alignment and I noticed if if I went to far up or down it was still staying a constant green and not flickering or going off. So does this mean I need to play with sending. What do I need to do in this scenario?
Or is that solid green (no matter how it wiggles up or down good) since it means it's receiving the sending?
@@DanD-v1ryou should be able to wiggle either sensor up and down as well as in and out (toward and away from the door opening) to some degree without the green light flickering. This is all covered in the video. I’m happy to provide some advanced trouble shooting but it sounds like you need to watch the video a couple more times to get the basics dialed in first, if your still having trouble it might be time to call a company out. Thanks for watching and good luck.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 Yea that's what its doing. I am able to wiggle all around and it still stays steady green so I think thats good since its synced with the amber signal. I removed a few leaves from the bottom of the rubber and its working okay now. I will monitor. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your help.
Also, is this commercial door opener considered a “yellow button” device?
If I buy a universal key pad and program it by pressing the learn/radio button inside will that work and not delete everyone’s remote?
Programming properly will not delete anything assuming the memory isn’t full. Where you run into trouble is when you don’t know what your doing and you do it wrong or do something you shouldn’t have done.
I’m getting a key pad. I plan to open the garage opener up which is the same one in your video. Do I just push the radio/learn button to program? The Directors say yellow button.
@@DanielMcCluskey4life You should always refer to the owners manual for programming instructions. Sounds like you bought a residential keypad. Without model numbers for the keypad and operator I really can’t say for certain especially if your using a universal keypad as there are so many different models and manufactures of universal equipment.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 it’s the same model operator as in your video. The keypad is the model number u posted about for keypads that works for security 2.0+
I figured it out by videos on TH-cam and programmed it. Worked perfectly. The trick On this model is you have to click the learn button once to get into learn mode and click 2 times to get back out of learn mode after programming is complete.
Your phon# please
Easy fix, thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!!
The issue is these garage door sensors are so outdated in their technology. Take a look at a sensor that can solve the sun issue, alignment issue, coverage issue and also help guide your car in the garage! Let me know if you want to give this a try?
Tks for the clear explanation! I had kicked my sensor off and needed to fix it, like you said it wasn’t square and caused the light to flicker. great job on the video!
Thank you and thanks for watching! Glad you were able to fix it.
Your garage floor looks good.
Thank you!
Greetings- Very informative and clear video! Unfortunately , none of these worked for me on my Liftmaster. Lights on and aligned. Lenses cleaned. Unpluged and re-pluged the main unit. I am stumped. Remote still opens, but won't close the door. Would it make sense try replacing the remote controller? We rent, so I hesitate to solder the connections myself. Thanks & much respect, -Kimbo
Thank you. Well, if the remote opens the door it would be odd that it wouldn’t close it. Assuming all the basics are in fact good I would say you have a bad set of eyes or a bad logic board on the operator. Might be time to get a professional over as they would be able to trouble shoot a bit easier. Or, if you want to order a set of new eyes and hook them up direct to the opener, if it works great, if not you may be stuck with the sensor cost and still have a problem.
Thanksssss so much for your video! I fixed my sensor’s finally thanks to you!!!
Glad it helped!
Hey man thanks for sharing the knowledge. I was fighting the alignment on my door that was reversing about 5 inches from being all the way closed. You gave every possibility and i found a single leaf hanging from the door about a foot from the bottom. When the door went vertical, it went right in the path of the sensor. Thanks again!
No problem. Thanks for watching,
Thanks for this. This could very well be my problem too(see comment above). I will check tomorrow. Was the leaf on the bottom of the door where the rubber portion is and traveling up and down with the door?
My sensor had yellow light. I did clean eye and adjust alignment but still have yellow light. May you please advice what can I do? I bought my house since 2007 liftmaster brand name. If I replace new one it didn’t have that part the same liftmaster sensor I have know. Thanks a lot
On the newer Liftmaster sensors there will be a yellow/amber light (always on) and the other a green light (only on when sensors are aligned and unobstructed). If your still having trouble it may be time to have a professional out. Thanks for watching and good luck.
@@firstclassgaragedoor6471 when I closed garage door it reserved back. What else reason do you think? Thanks a lot.
Can I change the handing of one of these openers by flipping the sprocket to the other side? I have a model H501L5R and I need a H501L5L. It looks like it will work but I don't know what I don't know....
Yes, you can just swap the drive sprocket from one side to the other. Technically the “L” & “R” refer to the chain hoist handing not the drive handing. Good luck.
Thanks. Amazing floor BTW. is that epoxy?
Thanks. Yes, epoxy with aspartic top coat. Thanks for watching.
Can’t see small lights on sensor lift master.
Who going to understand this video. Seems like you are running Daytona 500. Way stupid
thanks your video helped me take care of that problem, I bumped my sensor accidently and i took it out of alignment.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was helpful.
My door would only close if I held the button down, otherwise it would go back up again. Can't believe I lived with that problem for a month until watching this video. Took me all of 60 seconds to diagnose and fix the problem. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was helpful.
@drtrotter21 I am having similar issue? How did you fix the issue? Both sensors showing solid orange and green lights
Solution: Lousy connections between the sensors and the long wires leading back to the motor were the cause. The installer gave the raw wires a twist, then wrapped in electrical tape, which degraded over the years. I soldered the wires and that was a solid fix. Tip: a solid green receiver LED is necessary, but insufficient for reliable closing. Solid connections are necessary as well. New sensors come with pinch-connectors, filled with dielectric paste. Original Post: My green sensor is continually green, no flickering. The opener flashes a 4-6 code, indicating sensor misalignment. The sun is not shining on the sensors. The sensors are 6 inches above the ground, clipped to the tracks like yours. I loosened the wing nuts, then aimed them and re-tightened. The green sensor is in the middle of it's band, i.e. I can point up a ways and down a ways before the green LED goes off. The Liftmaster 7675 is a "Q" type with a yellow Learn button. It has worked since I bought the house in 2016. There are many online instructions for handling a 4-6 code. All of them say "Align your sensors until the green light is solid". I have done that. What could cause a 4-6 error code with a solid green reversing sensor LED?
Yeah, scotch loc connectors or solder and heat shrink. The codes are general, check alignment is a 99% of the time fix and for consumers typically as far as their knowledge will get them but yes, technically it could also mean a compromised wire(s), connection(s) or termination(s). Glad you were able to trouble shoot and repair.
Hi, If I need swap logic board on my H501L5B do I reprogram my travel limits and stop?
Limits are independent of the logic board so no, you don’t need to re adjust. As for the “stop” if you are referring to a mid stop then yes, you need to reprogram the mid stop.
