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 :)
Your video and advice were life changing! I tried each of your suggestions in order and FINALLY had to reprogram the remote! Fingers crossed -it worked instantly. I just needed to control my frustration, follow your video, find a step stool, flash light and try! I'm 78 yrs old and very appreciative. Thank you.
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.
Hang in there. Mother has dimentia and its such a terrible illness. Some random stranger online is sending you good vibes today. Hope you have some peace.
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.
Thank you so much!!!! I applied all the trouble shooting techniques and it ended up being the antenna wire hanging from the unit!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
I couldn't figure out why my remote wouldn't work consistently after I changed the bulbs to LED BULBS. Your video gave me the insight to change the bulbs.....and the remote worked perfectly again. Thank you very much for putting out these videos.
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.
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!
Wouldn't have believed it if it didn't actually work. I had changed the light bulb last week and have had issues ever since. Never thought about the light bulb but was going crazy trying to get it to work correctly. Anyway, watched this video, took out the light bulb and it works as it should. THANK YOU!
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.
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. 😇
That is a good Ideal about eBay. I just didn't think about that. Those jokes are 👍 Thank you for sharing all your great advice and jokes. YOU THE MA N. 📺
Thank you so much! I've spent so much time trying to figure out why my remote works sometimes and not others. I've had to use an app to close it. LED bulbs were the cause!!!
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.
Thanks for the tip about light bulbs... never thought of that or tried that. I'm going to try that now. Remotes work intermittently... maybe that will fix it. I use LED lights so I'll take them out and try it. YAY!!! IT WAS THE LIGHT BULBS! Issue solved. Thank you!!!
My issue was indeed the wrong type of LED bulbs! I installed the garage door opener specific ones, and everything started working properly again. Thanks for he info!
I have to tell you that for me the issue was the LIGHT BULB. Thank you! I really hope one of the 5 solutions here works for others too. I couldn't believe it.
Very formative Thank you so very much. I had a great garage door maintenance person out of Pikeville TN but somehow changing refrigerator clip with info got gone and I've been sad every since. You remind me of him. Thanks again and have a blessed day and life!! Sam😊😊😊😊
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!!
Thank you very much for your time and consideration for doing this video. Helped me. All I had to do was program the remote. Also, I didn't know about the antenna. I had just tucked it in and not really had a problem with it, but now it reaches far for the door. Thank again!!
Wiping the spider webs off of the antennae wire with Windex and slightly uncurling the curl worked for me. What I don't understand is why prior to cleaning is that the remotes would work once and not again within a short time span. If you went shopping and returned it would work once and only once again. But all seems well now so thanks for the advice.
One fix a lot of people overlook/don't know about is the LOCK button on the Wall mounted control (Liftmaster model). Not the easiest button to hit accidently (ours is hit mostly from getting into an acrobatic pose to close the garage door while keeping our body inside the house to block our cat from making a break for it!) but when you do, all remotes and car links will stop opening/closing the door.
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.
Good stuff. My safety sensors had enough crud & spider webs to interfere with the beam. It worked fine after I wiped them clean. BTW, did you hear about the butcher that backed into the meat grinder?..........He got a little behind in his work !😅
Super helpful video; very comprehensive. It’s a little thing so many people take for granted, but your video covered everything very effectively and without wasting any time. I'm impressed. I subscribed.
oh wow, thank you soooo much! I watched several videos to help but not one mentioned the sensors being moved - which can happen so easily. I am grateful that I watched your video and tried to check the sensors before I went to re-program the opener or any other option. Voila my remote is working again !! Thank you!!
Wonderful works for me, one of the sensors was very tight, I loosened it a little and the sensor light that was off came on, I tried to close the door, it didn't work, I cleaned the other sensor and moved it a little and it worked wonderfully, thank you for your advice.
GREAT video and thanks for sharing! One of my Liftmaster remotes works fine but the spare one that I normally do not use does not for some reason. Both remotes and the garage door opener are less than 6 years old. I will hopefully find out what is wrong with the remote that is not working. Thanks for your help!
Lol, good to know you enjoyed the jokes Eddy! I like the custom emojis!! Nice! 👍👍👍 Aloha from Hawaii my friend!! May the Lord bless you and may you have a spectacular rest of the weekend!
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
Yes! That is exactly what mine does too. Thank you for the better explanation of what happens when the sensor is blocked. Glad to hear you love the channel, thanks for stopping by for the new videos. Have a fabulous rest of the weekend!
Thank you for this. We were about to call a technician because the remote control stopped working. I took out a light bulb that I just installed and the remote is working again. Thank you, thank you...
Thank you - went through all your tips and it was the LED lights causing the problem with the garage door not opening, which I replaced and now the everything is working as it should.
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.
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.
Great video, Sir! My problem started after I replaced my light bulbs with LED ones. I'm going to pick up a pair of those garage door opener LED bulbs. Thanks again. Funny Dad jokes at the end of your video too, LOL.
I have a problem with the remote control of the Lift Master machine, and I will try to apply your tips one by one, and I will inform you of the result. Thank you.
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
I'll check the lightbulb, like you said. Haven't done it yet. I just pressed the button one side of the button and got the door to open and close, but I think the button is faulty, like it is already depressed. Am I able to replace the remote and have it work with the door opener I currently have? thanks..
thanks for the tips about programming the remote. i guess i could've avoided this by actually reading the programming instructions that came with the remote 😅
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.
Aha- mine was the instructions not mentioning the part about pressing the "program" button on the remote. I thought Chamberlin to Chamberlin..this should work!
My remote's one and only button is stuck down/depressed. While thinking the battery was dead, I pried it open and just messing around with got the door up and down. My outdoor button box was basically destroyed a few years ago, when the garage door closed down on my car as I was pulling out. The light hasn't work for years even though I changed out the bulb. What do you suggest for the remote.. and if you have idea about the light...please help. Thanks so much, Tamara
my liftmaster 3265 is 19 years old and has worked well until recently. The 2 remotes I have slowly were losing power to open and close mygarage door. Now both just don't work, at the same time almost. The problem is, no matter what I do I cannot program the new remotes I purchased or the old remotes. I tried erasing all the codes and starting from scratch and I've made sure the wall is not locked, changed my light bulbs and tried every possible way to program the remotes. The door opens from the wall and that is all. I'm supposing it's time to get a a new head unit unless there is something I'm not doing I can figure out.
Typically the other buttons control multiple garage doors (if there's more than one) or the garage light. No need to press any of the other buttons but if you do by accident, probably nothing will happen.

Awesome that some women can attempt to fix things despite knowing they don’t have testicles.

Thanks for the tips. I followed the one with the battery in the corrosion now my garage door opener works great thank you
The bulb! Who would've thought. Changed out the led bulbs and bingo my remotes have great range again.
Changing light bulbs worked for me. Great Tip! Thanks.

I had to replace the capacitor on mine and that fixed it. Thanks for all the hvac help over the years!
Nice! Glad to hear you were able to find and fix the problem. And you're welcome! 🙂
Thanks brother! Since my family moved into their new house their garage door remote wasnt working. This video fixed the problem, thanks a lot!❤
GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 Bud, 5 simple steps right to the point. You are amazing.
Thank you! I reconnected both remotes and the opener, and now they are working again.
Thank you. The realigning of the sensors fixed it.
Thanks man! Turn out the problem was the light bulb, It worked fine in my old opener, but not my new one.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration for doing this video. Helped me. All I had to do was program the remote. Also, I didn't know about the antenna. I had just tucked it in and not really had a problem with it, but now it reaches far for the door. Thank again!!
A big thank you! The issue with mine was only a dirty antenna wire.
I'm glad I found this video. I needed this information "and inspiration" to try to figure out what's wrong with my opener ... been putting it off. Thx
You bet! Oftentimes it's an easy fix so definitely worth looking into. May your job be swift and simple! 👍

Thanks! Our problem was the dimmable led light bulbs. I had never heard of this problem until I saw this video.
Good stuff. My safety sensors had enough crud & spider webs to interfere with the beam. It worked fine after I wiped them clean. BTW, did you hear about the butcher that backed into the meat grinder?..........He got a little behind in his work !😅
Oh nice catch! Thanks for pointing out that the sensors' glass itself could have stuff over them. Hahaha oh man.. Thanks for the joke! 😄😄
You saved me $200 today, Thanks (it was the lightbulb)
I rolled my eyes at the light bulb fix… but then realized you were absolutely right and I had never thought of that! LOL! Now I feel really dumb.
Lol, it's all good, you are not alone. Usually the way people learn about this is when their garage remote stops working. 😄
Super helpful video; very comprehensive. It’s a little thing so many people take for granted, but your video covered everything very effectively and without wasting any time. I'm impressed. I subscribed.

My wire had a web on it. I cleaned it off and now it works. Thank you.
Just solved the problem with your checklist. It was the light bulb. I never would have guessed. Thanks.
Worked like a charm on my 19 tear old remote. Thanks

My very first attempt,I noticed was my sensors weren't aligned.👍🏾
That work for me "Thanks" for tacking the time to show us.
Great video, Sir! My problem started after I replaced my light bulbs with LED ones. I'm going to pick up a pair of those garage door opener LED bulbs. Thanks again. Funny Dad jokes at the end of your video too, LOL.
I tried everything before seeing this. It was the LED lamps! Geeze. Thank you! (Comments from a retired electrical contractor.)
Fantastic video. I will give these a try. Easy to follow....thank you!
Will give these a go, thanks. Might a motion detector & camera (Ring) outside the garage cause a signal interference with the opener?
My issue was the light bulbs, thank you!
You are the only person with the correct sht!!! Thanks bro👍👍👍
Haha that's good to hear, glad the video helped!
I have a problem with the remote control of the Lift Master machine, and I will try to apply your tips one by one, and I will inform you of the result. Thank you.
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
Good explanation. It’s helpful for me .Thank you.
Thank you. You really helped me to fix the problem

Incredible tips! Thank you.
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.
Good job. We'll explained. I FIXED it myself
Omg I was ready to call the garage door company and found this video, it was the light bulb!!
The wire trick worked for us! Yahoo🎉
This troubleshooting was great and it fixed the problem 👌🏽
This video was very helpful! 👍🏽
I have the other remote works and mine is quit working. Tried to replace the new battery still not working. What do you think the issue ?
Good video man
Really very nice video thanks
Best video ever!
Aha- mine was the instructions not mentioning the part about pressing the "program" button on the remote. I thought Chamberlin to Chamberlin..this should work!
Thank youuuu! It was the sensor 😄
My remote's one and only button is stuck down/depressed. While thinking the battery was dead, I pried it open and just messing around with got the door up and down.

Great information. Thanks
Thank you for the tips, will have the hubs try them out. I also enjoyed the dad jokes. Didn’t get the torso joke but the bar one had me chuckling lol
Glad you liked the video and half of the jokes! Try the torso joke on your hubs and see how he reacts 😄
Tip #5 worked for me!!! Phew…
Jay, great troubleshooting technique for the garage door opener. Love how common sense will help to resolve most issues!
Thank you! Yes, easy fixes are the best fixes. 😄
Thank you so much! The alcohol did the trick!!!!
You Sir are a saint!!!
My question is what are the other 2 buttons is for on the remote?
Should I ever press those buttons?
Typically the other buttons control multiple garage doors (if there's more than one) or the garage light. No need to press any of the other buttons but if you do by accident, probably nothing will happen.
Thanks for the reprogramming tip ... the instructions that were included with the remote did not apply to an older opener ...
