I doubt that would happen. Chamberlain assumes these old garage door openers have all been recycled already. This video proves them wrong. Look at all the comments below. These old garage door openers are made well apparently if so many are still in use.
What a GODSEND! This is the EXACT model I have in my garage and I came here just hoping for some help - and you nailed it! Took me 14 clicks but it finally programmed. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for watching. I knew I wasn't the only one who had trouble because the manual and website are moderately vague in my opinion. Chamberlain could use a good technical writer.
Thank you for this! I watched the video by the company and I couldn't get it to work with our older Genie opener. So I took my phone to the garage and followed along with you on this, and it happened just like yours did - didn't work, didn't work, didn't work, then, right when yours worked, mine worked and the garage door opened! I wouldn't have kept trying it so many times if I hadn't seen you do it, so, thank you, my friend.
Want to say thanks so much to this guy who made this video. If I had not seen you try so so many times I would have given up. My rig is old old. Remote works now! thanks
This videos saved me buying a new opener. I followed these instructions and ended up pressing the opener button 17 times before I got a match! Thank you!,
I was ready to return the not so seemingly intelligent remote along with a suggestion for Chamberlain to use it as a suppository. Then I came across your video and noted your opener was identical to mine. On the 15th or 16th press my door opener started raising the door. Thank you for taking the time to post your video. Chamberlain should be paying you!!!
Chamberlain is a large company. The fact that they omitted a video that affected this many paying customers is an indicator that they are slightly out of touch with their customers needs.
Thanks for the video, I did some changes on the dip switches on the back of my garage opener, many times click on the remote and finaly it works for me. I had and old Craftsman with no learn button. Great video. Thanks
I love you! I needed to open a garage door and a gate..both lift master brand using the 2 button clicker you show. The garage worked fine but the gate had dip switches which I matched to existing working remote. Numerous attempts to no avail... watched your video and armed with more determination..I walked thru the steps again and presto on the 8th press of the flashing blue light..it opened the gate!! I can now cancel the serviceman scheduled for tomorrow. Video Probably saved me at least $50 bucks.....thank you so much.
I cant thank you enough!!! My kids teased me because I moved and the new home had a perfectly fine garage door but the remote openers were very large and old. I bought a set of Chamberlain universal remotes only to find out the opener didn't have a learn button (didnt even know they could come without one). I wasn't about to replace the opener so I just hid the remotes hoping no one noticed. Well tonight (2:00am) I was bored and decided to google to see if there was a way to program the remotes. I was so elated to find your video. I almost gave up after trying 13 times clicking no less than 30x each. I decided to look up the PDF you mentioned. There it was on page 10 (not 8 as mentioned 😁)the answer to my problem. I actually had to reverse the DIP switches on my remote to the opposite of what it had on the opener. Also I was being lazy looking at the old large remote instead of the actual opener. Either way my chamberlain looks the exact opposite of the opener. So where as it was up on the opener its down on the remote, also the numbers are reverse (left to right not right to left) so I was confused. Once I reversed the switches I got it on the 2nd click...I cant thank you enough for posting this video. Had it not been for your video I never would've been able to switch my remotes. I'm sure have the big old remotes don't matter to some but it does to me (no its not just because I'm a female🤷♀️). Being in quarantine and not working I simply cant afford too spend money on anything other than necessaries.
Worked for my old Genie Blue Max with dip switches. I couldn't tell which positions were on or off, so ended up reversing all positions on my remote, but after that it worked on the 13th button mash. Thanks yet again, for producing the video Chamberlain should have made.
Thank you. It took 14 times to get mine to communicate with my opener. Chamberlain indeed doesn't support DIP Switch openers on their site. I almost gave up on mine until i watched your video and saw it was being difficult for you too. Thank you again.
Thanks, Wade -- you saved our butts with this video. I can't find ANY instructions from Chamberlain on how to program an 8 DIP-switch Linear receiver (any DIP switch receiver on an opener without a "Learn" button), and you saved the day.
I had the same issue. I don't know why Chamberlain buries this information. I realize that non-learning openers are basically obsolete but Chamberlain could simply make a video like I did and post to TH-cam.
Thank you so much! I have an ancient LiftMaster and was becoming desperate regarding finding a remote control after mine bit the dust. The one I bought was going back to the hardware store until I found this video. Like you, the first time, no joy, decided to try again and it worked! Eureka! I’m thrilled. Thank you again.
Thank you so much! I searched for over half an hour on the internet for instructions for DIP switch and finally found you. My opener is about 25 years old and works fine, just needed a new clicker. The instructions that came with the clicker stink. I would give more thumbs up if allowed :)
You are a rock star sir, I was about to return that same Chamberlain model opener back to the orange store (HD), glad I ran into your vid! The new opener with the old dipswitch system worked like a charm! Thanks!
Thanks so much. The Chamberlain website was obtuse at best and I never found their instructions for dip switches but your video made it quick and simple. 13 clicks was the magic number for me to program each button.
I read in the instructions that for stanley (I have the same opener) it said press 7 times, now that I've watched this video I got it working after what felt like a billion clicks, THANKS
Thank you! After about 5 times of clicking it worked. To get the blue light off just click the other button you are not using and the blue light will shut off. ***this video should be on their website for those who are using DIP SWITCH***
I took the cover off my old Sears Craftsman clicker and copied the 9 dipswitch pattern to the new Chamberlain klik3u, turning the last 3 dipswitches off, and that worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks so much! The directions say 7 times for the old Stanley models so I tried that a couple times and then gave up and watched your video. Looks like it's closer to 13 times or something like that. Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you so much....you're a lifesaver! I couldn't quite figure out how to get this to work with my old Genie Model 200, but on the 13th click the light came on, the door opened and all was right with the world.
Your video help so much. Thanks for making it. Had a hard time programming our garage door but your video save the day. My husband was getting frustrated so I took over and wahlah we got garage doors opening and closing😊.
This just worked for me as well on the 17th press, thanks for the video, the manufacturer no longer officially supports dip switches so they took down their instructions for them. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! What worked for mine: - set the dip switch pattern to match - press the program button - click the big button 14 times - press the program button again Whohoo! Looks like you have helped *many* people with this video!
My DIP switches where in reverse order from up to down on the garage unit than the clicker, so once I flipped them inverted it worked after 13, or 14 clicks! Thank you sir!
This video is extremely helpful. I was about to go buy a replacement motor (for the ancient Stanley D1000 A07 in my garage) before I found it. Just for the sake of clarification, after setting the dip switches to the correct sequence, you push the program button ONCE and the actual remote button numerous times until the motor responds then push the program button again. It's anyone's guess as to why the hell this universal remote manufacturer doesn't offer much of any useful information about this relatively simple yet very specific process.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Whew! I it so frustrating when the instructions aren't helpful! I too got a little scare when it finally closed the door! lol.
Thank you. I had to push the button 10times. Forgot to push the program button... doh! My opener is a Stanley. Funny I had the same opener two iterations ago. ✌🏾
I called Chamberlain HQ, and the snotty customer Rep said that my 1993 model was unserviceable and that I should get a new, safer model. He said that he could not nor would not help me to solve my remote issue. It looks likes this nice gentleman found a way.., thank you.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My old garage door DIP switches had 3 settings - on, off, neutral. So first had to reset to just on and off ... and 4 extras to off. Then, like everyone else, many, many clicks.
When I bought a new universal remote and set the dip switches, I had to press the button about 18 times before the door would close, and I did it much faster than you did. Click, Click, click....finally the door closed. It didn't remember it when I tried to open and close again. So I went back to the directions and read why. Reason: I forgot to press the learn button/program button to save it.
You won't know how many times to hit the button just like I didn't know. Hit the button until you get a response. But first check the manufacturer website and make sure Raynor brand is supported.
Seriously, thank you so much.
Chamerlain should send you a check for doing their job.
I doubt that would happen. Chamberlain assumes these old garage door openers have all been recycled already. This video proves them wrong. Look at all the comments below. These old garage door openers are made well apparently if so many are still in use.
You're a legend. Worked on my Linear gate, took 18 clicks after setting dips so.. Keep pressing until it works!
What a GODSEND! This is the EXACT model I have in my garage and I came here just hoping for some help - and you nailed it! Took me 14 clicks but it finally programmed. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you! My husband took over this project, got stumped, then was eavesdropping as I watched this video to understand how this all worked. :)
I almost gave up on you. I went to the comments about halfway thru and the comments made me go and continue watching 🙄 Thank you!
I was ready to return the not so seemingly intelligent remote along with a suggestion for Chamberlain to use it as a suppository. Then I came across your video and noted your opener was identical to mine. On the 15th or 16th press my door opener started raising the door.

Sir, I can't thank you enough for this video! You are a lifesaver! Our opener is a Stanley from '97.
Thank you!!! Standing in the garage, sweaty, frustrated, after long days of work at the hospital, and this video saved me and my boyfriend
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video, I did some changes on the dip switches on the back of my garage opener, many times click on the remote and finaly it works for me. I had and old Craftsman with no learn button. Great video. Thanks

This worked great. Mine took way more clicks than what the install booklet showed as well. Thank you soooooo much for the helpful video!

Pressed the button many times and it worked THANK YOU!!! I called customer support and they were no help
Yikes yes I jumped, you are a life saver - this is the exact type I have in my garage and it took me 14 clicks. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you so much! This literally saved me so much time and energy.
Hey man. Thank you! Took a ton of clicks but mine now works.
Dude, I'm at work right now programming one of these and this totally worked ! Thank you sir !
Excellent!
Thank you for the video. Was fixing to head back to town till I watched your video. Had to press the button many times before it opened. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Thank You! That was a huge help, I also have an acient Stanley opener!
Thank you! After about 5 times of clicking it worked. To get the blue light off just click the other button you are not using and the blue light will shut off.

ok thanks for the blue light tip

Glad we got it figured out.
Thank you so much for your video it was so much more helpful than the Chamberlain instructions or website!
Dude
You changed my life THANK YOU!!
Thanks so much! The directions say 7 times for the old Stanley models so I tried that a couple times and then gave up and watched your video. Looks like it's closer to 13 times or something like that. Thanks 👍🏻
Great to hear!
We're in the same situation only ours is a Blue Max. You gave me hope so I will try the universal set up again. Thanks
It works! About 18 presses to the button did the trick.
I pressed mine a bunch of times (like 12) and it worked. Thanks!
Thanks for that, I would never have gotten it without your video
Glad I could help
awesome.... thanks so much... it worked!! and after calling Chamberlain - no help...
I found your video.... it was extremely helpful!!!
Great and very useful video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Glad it helped!
OMG!!! Thank you so much! I had to press mine a thousand times right along with you before it worked.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much....you're a lifesaver! I couldn't quite figure out how to get this to work with my old Genie Model 200, but on the 13th click the light came on, the door opened and all was right with the world.

Frustrated. Been there. Thanks for commenting.
This just worked for me as well on the 17th press, thanks for the video, the manufacturer no longer officially supports dip switches so they took down their instructions for them. Thanks!
YEAH!! this video fixed mine as well (old Genie 83). Had to press the button many times but it worked. Thanks for doing Chamberlins job
Thank you for this video!
What worked for mine:
- set the dip switch pattern to match
- press the program button
- click the big button 14 times
- press the program button again
Whohoo!
Looks like you have helped *many* people with this video!
Glad it helped.
Great job explaining. Better than the manufacturer of my garage door remote.
Thank you so much! Scared the ish outta me but it worked!
My DIP switches where in reverse order from up to down on the garage unit than the clicker, so once I flipped them inverted it worked after 13, or 14 clicks! Thank you sir!
What a coincidence. Good job getting it set up.
Thank you, good Suhr! My ancient door lift has new life.

Glad it helped!
This video helped me thanks!

Thanks for letting me know what to do about numbers 11 & 12. I was able to get mine to work on the 14th press! Give Thx👌
You bet !
Exactly the info I needed THANKS!!!
No problem!!
Worked for me! Thanks!
You saved me. Thanks so much!!!!
This video is extremely helpful. I was about to go buy a replacement motor (for the ancient Stanley D1000 A07 in my garage) before I found it.

Thank you dude! It really helped me! God bless you
Glad to hear it!
Yeah that remote is original to the opener if it was made in 93’ good to see the Stanley is still working
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Whew! I it so frustrating when the instructions aren't helpful! I too got a little scare when it finally closed the door! lol.
TRY AND TRY AGAIN. THANKS BROTHER. GOOD JOB.
Thank you. I had to push the button 10times. Forgot to push the program button... doh! My opener is a Stanley. Funny I had the same opener two iterations ago. ✌🏾
The advise from this video🙇🏾♀️... push it real good (a la Salt n Pepa) 😅
Yay it worked!! Thank you!!
Great!
Thank you so much!! It worked 💪🏼
Great to hear!
Omg thanks man I almost smashed door opener motor and bought an brand new one ☝️ ( like 25 clicks ) and the website was having technical issues
Thank goodness for videos like this. I was about to go back to the store and return it.
Thank you! Was fiddle farting around with this thing for a while until I stumbled upon your video and it works like a dream! You rock :)
I called Chamberlain HQ, and the snotty customer Rep said that my 1993 model was unserviceable and that I should get a new, safer model. He said that he could not nor would not help me to solve my remote issue. It looks likes this nice gentleman found a way.., thank you.
Sounds like you called "Customer NO Service."
When you press the program button, hold it down a couple seconds until the light stays lit, then try and program it.
God bless your beautiful soul thank you!
Thank you, mine too just a few times..I was ready to give up and throw lol!!
Glad we didn't give up. Thanks for watching.
Great, Thank you very much, It worked.
Thank you good sir
Any ideas on what to do if it works when you click it a dozen times to program, but then doesn't after you save the programming?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! My old garage door DIP switches had 3 settings - on, off, neutral. So first had to reset to just on and off ... and 4 extras to off. Then, like everyone else, many, many clicks.
Took mine 14 presses. 👍
Thumbs up.
Thanks works for me
Good to hear
U rock man!!
Thanks so much
Did anyone else jump when it worked 😂😂
I did.
@@acjmathis this
When I bought a new universal remote and set the dip switches, I had to press the button about 18 times before the door would close, and I did it much faster than you did. Click, Click, click....finally the door closed. It didn't remember it when I tried to open and close again. So I went back to the directions and read why. Reason: I forgot to press the learn button/program button to save it.
Awesome.
Thank you!
You bet!
Thank you
I pressed mine twelve times worked on last push
Thank you so much I was literally losing my patience hahah
holly f! thank you so much!!!
You had to be closer to the overhead box so when you're programming the remote control it syncs to the remote
ok thanks
Omg thank you
My garage door is a Raynor with dipswitchs. How do I find out how many times to hit the button?
You won't know how many times to hit the button just like I didn't know. Hit the button until you get a response. But first check the manufacturer website and make sure Raynor brand is supported.
