I recently ran into a problem with my Craftsman garage door opener where it opens like normal when I use the remote. But for some reason it won't close. Eventually I identified the issue and my problem was fixed with a new circuit board. So here's how to remove and replace the circuit board.
First, unplug the motor. But before doing anything else, take a picture of the wiring and control settings for later reference. Ok now take out the light bulb and unscrew the wire terminals to loosen them up. Now take out the 4 screws holding the control panel to the motor housing. And anyone can do this even if you don't have any experience. I've listed the circuit board in the description so it's easy for you to find. Gently pull the wire connector from one side then the other until it slips off.
Then all I have to do is swap the circuit boards and the problem is solved. First I'll remove the 5 screws that hold the circuit board onto the original faceplate. This is really easy to do and all you need is a Philips screwdriver. Then take note of the wire colors and then unplug the spade connectors on the light socket. Doing this completely detaches the board from the faceplate. Now I'll just repeat the same process on the replacement part. All I really need is the circuit board. After the screws are out, I'll have to disconnect the remaining 2 wires. So a pair of pliers can really help out here. Ok now it's time to put the new circuit board into the old faceplate.
At this point, I can just go ahead and reverse the entire process. Hopefully you took a picture of the wires on the light socket. But even if you didn't, I think the wire spades are different sizes to help you get the right ones on there. Then take the 5 screws from earlier and use them to secure the board in place. I hope you're able to see how easy this repair is. Now compare the blue adjustment dials and set the new board exactly the same as was on the old board. After this, the assembly is complete!
Reattaching the faceplate to the motor housing is easy. But the most difficult part is plugging the wire harness back in. As far as the screws go, the shorter ones go up on top and the longer ones go on the bottom.
When the faceplate is secured, refer to the picture you took earlier to help reconnect everything to the terminals exactly like before. Last thing to do is screw in the light bulb and plug the garage door opener back in.

Bought the circuit board for $39 from an eBay seller, and thanks to you video, everything is working great! Thank you!

[@TheRenderQ]

Excellent! You got a really good price on the circuit board! Glad to hear that your garage door opener is working again!

[@letmein82]

I bought the part from seller on eBay, which was half the price than Amazon and the part fit perfectly so I didn’t have to switch out the circuit board. What an amazingly spot on video thank you brother!!

[@ImmortalPsychozen]

Worked perfectly. Thanks!

[@Talktojake]

Thanks dude! That was easy!

[@markschirripa3607]

Excellent video. This may be my problem. After having lowering issues, now the motor just clicks when I try to raise or lower the door.

My Liftmaster garage door opener was so old that replacement logic boards for my model were discontinued. My problem was that the remote would not work with the opener lights on. I chose to replace all the electrolytic capacitors on the logic board so now all is well.

[@stevenolmstead7505]

Thanks for the video. My opener stopped working. My wall button is flashing - I read it could be the circuit board. Before going ahead and replacing it I have one question. The reset button currently does not light up when pressed. Is this an issue relating to the board needing replacement - or does it indicate another problem? Thanks!

What happens if they don’t make the original circuit board anymore

[@buckyteel4129]

Unless you upgraded the capacitors on the new board eventually you will be doing procedure again.

[@teresc3280]

I didn't take a picture of how the three wires connect after replacing the logic board. The wires all look the same. How can I tell which order to put them back in?

[@robertmetoyer1153]

Why did you have to swap the old board with the new board if the housing were the same. Just install the new assembly.

[@TheRenderQ]

Someone else asked the same thing. I had to swap the boards with the faceplates because the new faceplate was slightly different shape and didn’t fit back on the garage motor housing. Even though in the video they practically look the same.

[@artriumph]

I don’t understand why you swapped the circuit boards instead of just installing the new board along with its faceplate.

[@TheRenderQ]

I can see why you’re wondering why I swapped out the circuit boards. I guess I didn’t explain it in the video. It’s because the new faceplate was different than the one from my garage door opener. The top and bottom are slightly different and the screw holes in the bottom didn’t match up with the location of the original holes. In other words I can’t attach the new faceplate onto my garage door opener. Luckily the circuit boards are the same so I just swapped them out. But depending on your model you may be able to just swap the entire faceplate/circuit board assembly. Hope this answers your question!

Please note that after numerous attempts I was unable to connect the short wire harness to the circuit board after it was mounted to the cover as shown in the video. Instead I connected the harness to the circuit board first and then mounted the board to the cover.

My door will not open unless I hope down on the garage door button and then it kicks on and off
