TIP: check your model number from the garage door opener in the ceiling. It will help you figure out how many times you need to press the button of your choice when you are programming it. I was confused on this part but the assistant on live chat helped me a lot.
Several issues with this video: This remote would not work with a new (2020) Chamberlain B750 (yellow learn button). Both the remote and the opener were purchased at the same time at Home Depot, so hopefully both are the latest models. Followed the written instructions and this video, all options for setting the remote buttons to my opener type, and every variation on the theme that I could think up, but no luck. It does work with my old purple button LiftMasters, so that indicates that the remote is functional, and the instructions were followed correctly. Despite claims in this video and in the written instructions to the contrary, Genie tech support explicitly stated that they do not support these remotes through chat. Estimated phone support wait time was 2 hours, but they did allow leaving a number for callback. Phone support was only able to walk me through the same steps presented in the instructions and in this video. They offered no additional insights/tips/tricks/hacks to get this to work, and admitted that they always have lots of trouble with the yellow button Chamberlains. Overall, a miserable experience with both product and support.
Does not work with a Chamberlain/lift master 1996-2005 code #3 I purchased 2 of them. They both seem to be working fine. My opener is operating fine. I even cloned the original remote and NOTHING! The opener just refuses to receive the remote's signal. Kind of pissed off about that to be honest.
@@mikehawkins7245 HI Mike, if your units are on the compatibility list, then they will work. Please reach out to us via a DM here, on FB, or call us at 1-800-354-3643 and we can get you further assistance.
Why do both my Genie Model 2028 and Model 3042 Garage Door Openers both lose the programming in the remotes from time to time? Batteries are fresh too! The only model of remote that does not lose it is your Universal remote, but it is more expensive so I'd rather not buy another one. I'm an electronics engineer and have looked at the circuit boards in four other remotes, they look to be in good shape and not damaged by corrosion or moisture too. In all four original remotes, it happens. What is the permanent fix to keep them from losing the programming from time to time?
I have the original really old genie garage opener with only one button on it but when I do the cloning process my universal remote never turns rapidly blue. Help??
Remote didn’t work for my lift-master I even called customer service who tried to walk me through set up and was told it only work half of the time on non genie products and I needed to return the universal remote
it seems not compatible with 2 type of garage doors in once, I bought it for my parents house and mine, they have red learn button and my is yellow. I had my programed then it will not cloning with my parents'. Please advise if anyone knows how.
Apparently wasted $30 on a Genie universal remote. Can NOT. Get it to operate even one of my three Genie Excelerator openers. These units and especially the remotes have been nothing but trouble since they were first installed. Out of a total of 8 remotes, only 1 will reliably operate all of the GDO’s. I’m never buying another Genie product again.
I just bought one of this to use in my apartment building which have a Linear system. I try to do the cloning with my remote and it hasn't work at all. Do anyone knows what should I do to make it work? I don't have access to the system since is on the main office and we (tenants) don't have access to it
Hey, we have a viper/ Marantec and it has Aladdin connect on it. Can I use this remote on it or no? To program remotes you need to connect the remotes together
Depends on the brand - we have additional instructions on our website for dipswitch geniecompany.com/data/products/accessories/manuals/4-btn-remote_pro-eng.pdf
My garage opener is nothing but a single button on the wall, which only opens and closes the garage. I don’t know what brand it is or anything, it looks like a light switch, I don’t know how to pair it, help.

Hi Butch! If you were not able to get this remote programmed we would be happy to help! Please contact our Genie customer service at 1-800-354-3643 for assistance.
Please ensure your vacation lock is unlocked on the inside of the garage, and ensure that you are not using cfl or led bulbs inside the garage door opener that could interfere with remote frequency.
The remote works on specific craftsman models, please refer to the compatibility chart found here: www.geniecompany.com/data/products/accessories/manuals/4-btn-remote_eng.pdf

Depending on the model you have, the instructions should be in this video, you can forward along to that section, or we can assist you over the phone at 1-800-354-3643.
Hi! This does work with certain model LiftMaster garage door openers. You can check out the compatibility on the chart. If you need assistance programming we would be happy to help! Please contact our customer service department at 1-800-354-3643.
This video is hard to follow. You can't do it step by step because they stop mid-instruction with another clip on how to program a different type of opener.
The instructions should clarify what the "learn button" is on the motor, I mean, why in the world would you call it the "learn" button? Ridiculous! I had to search the internet after reviewing this video, for directions which pointed out what the "learn" button was on the motors of several different brands.
