Got a new truck this week and followed the instructions in the manual to program the remote. The instructions even had a flow chart cuz it was a complicated process. It didn’t work. Tried your method and it worked!
@@garagedoorgenius Sweet. What I learned is that each garage door opener will only store like six devices. So as we've sold cars, those codes were still stored, interfering with adding new cars. We needed to clear ALL codes (like your video shows) and start over. Problems solved, peace restored. Thanks.
I have an older Genie Chain Drive model CGC or PCG with series II electronics. I have a keypad, two homelinks in cars, and a remote already programmed and working. When I try to add another remote, I can link it OK but then one of the homelinks in one of the cars quit working. When I reprogrammed the Homelink in the car, the remote I had just programmed quit working. Seems like the opener will only accept codes from four devices (but there may be previous remote codes from remote controls that quit working and were replaced, still stored in the opener )
Can you illustrate the same with a different Genie remote? the newer remotes has an up and down button. Just wondering if its done differently. thanks for the video anyway!
@@garagedoorgenius thanks. I'm waiting for that video. Non of my remotes are working even with the new batteries in them. i manually open the garage, pull the car out, come back thru the main door and lock the garage before leaving..
How many remotes can be programmed to work with this opener? I am trying to program two additional openers and I get one working but when I program another one, the remote I previously programmed does not work.
Quite a few actually. What's happening is the machine is filled up with codes. Meaning, it gets to a point where it kicks out the previous programmed remote. Clear the memory on the machine then try it.
I have two different doors each with openers. I have two remotes for one and none for the other. I tried to reprogram one of the remotes for the second door. now both doors go up/down apart or together when I hit the button on the newly programmed one. Any suggestions?
I just received two replacements Garage Door Openers. There is a difference in the battery compartment. It will not open. The screwdriver in the slot is not working. I noticed that the area that is supposed to hinge, is solid across the back of the remote, there is no hinge or indentation to allow the battery door to fold up. I wonder if I got a set that are defective?
Thank you for this video. It is so clear and easy to follow the steps. My was not opening and I reset it or reprogram it with your instructions and it is working properly now. Thanks again!
That curly wire hanging out the side, is that the remote antenna? If so mine is tucked in and I’m getting horrible range. Would it solve the problem if I untucked it? Thank you
Thanks for video. I have two remotes (ACSCTG Type 1) . One is damaged beyond repair. Can I just replace the bad one, or do I need to buy a new pair of them. I guess I'm asking if the remotes transmit different codes and if so can the lifting unit "learn" two codes?
Bro life saver, had no idea about the button on the unit, garage door opener was already in when got house so need I new remote a extra one, could not figure it out, now it works great, thanks for making the vid and taking the time to do it 👍
Thank you so much for your straightforward explanation on how to do it, I just have one silly question I already have two remotes that are programmed, I just purchased a third one, when I program the third one.... Will I lose the other two that were existing?
No you won't lose the programming. The only way that could happen is if you press and hold the learn button and continue to hold it down. That physically clears the machine's memory. So if you just press the button and let go you will be just fine! Also thank you for the awesome comment I really appreciate you watching my video! ❗💯
I was havings issue programming my 2 new genies, I would program #1and worked fine then I would program remote #2 and it worked fine but remote #1 would stop working, but I saw how you erased all the codes and further research I found that it will only store up to 7 codes so after 7 it will kick the newest code out, so after erasing all codes I was able to program my total of 5 remotes......THANKS!
Okay, for starters...make sure remotes have good batteries. Strong batteries = Strong signal. If you haven't cleared the memory on the opener itself, do it. Genie openers can get overloaded with codes. Which eventually will reduce remotes you try to program. It'll kick the previous one out because it's full.
Just purchased a new remote for genie excellerator model, programming was easy thanks to this video, but my remote will not close the door, only opens it. Any suggestions?
Check the safety sensors. Make sure nothing is blocking them. Also make sure the sensor LEDs are a solid green and red. They possibly could be misaligned.
Thanks! I have the remote in the thumbnail from 1995. I got a new remote because of theft, but if I had any idea it was this easy to reprogram I would have replaced it years ago. That little gray rubber button never worked well.
grey button fails in high heat. Rubber wears down. If you pry up and slide out the metal clip, then remove philips screw you can access the circuit board and check the blue switch. I bet the blue switch is perfect, but if you look under the cover you'll see the grey rubber button and it will be almost melted/smashed looking. You can repair the rubber. 1st, use rubbing alcohol and qtip and wetten the center of the smashed rubber button that makes contact with the blue switch. Remold/Reshape it as best as you can with the alcohol/qtip to get it looking like it should. Let alcohol dry for 15 minutes. Next take a small flat head screw driver and super glue. Drop super glue drops onto the center of the smashed rubber that you reshaped, let the super glue run over the sides of the center triple point. Use the screw driver flat head to shape/coat all the rubber of the center point tri connection (the point that touches the blue switch). Once you have it built up and the rubber is firm from the super glue, let it dry for 2 hours. While you have it apart, clean the contacts of the battery terminals with alcohol, remove any blueish powder (corrosion), and if you have small steel wool, gently scratch the contact points where the battery touches. Securely hold the contactor for battery and slightly bend them toward each other, make sure you do not stress the soldered contact points on the circuit board. Use your hand to hold so you dont strain the connection and bend the 2 metal contactors for battery nearer by 1/8th inch each (this will make better contact with battery after reassembly). Reassemble in reverse order. Enjoy.
@@garagedoorgenius no problem, went thru this myself a couple weeks ago and fixed my 2 remote openers. System is 20 years old, hope it keeps chugging for awhile still lol
Did you clear the memory on the machine? Genie openers can get overloaded with codes. Meaning , that once it's full you can program a remote but it kicks out the previous. If you clear out the memory you're starting fresh.
If one of my original remotes for my genie garage door opener was stolen will clearing the memory remove that remote so they won't have access to my garage?
Garage Door Genius thank you. Someone broke into my husbands truck and used the remote to open my garage door luckily my security system went off and scared them away they didn't take anything. But I was worried that they would come back and use the remote to gain access.
@@trullopez That seems to be a common thing Amongst Thieves is to steal the remote. Also on the wall button on the inside of the garage you may have a switch that says honor off as a picture of a lock. You can always flip that switch to lock and that will give you a piece of mind as well. But clearing the memory out on the opener will definitely take care of that stolen remote.
I bought two of these remotes from your company. How can I program them both? When I program one, the other remote loses its connection, and it just keeps going back and forth.
Hi I have a question? I had 1 is old remote and 1 is brand new. They all the same brand GENE, I tried so many time reset both remotes control, turn out only one working. I need both remote control working .Do you have any tip for that please? Thanks.
Ty John So you have a remote like in this video and another remote that's different, but a Genie. The one that won't work is it rectangle looking and kind of bigger than the other? If so, that's an old style Genie and won't work with newer units.
@@katherinepitts8556 you're welcome! When you program, after you press the learn button on the garage door opener, press in and out firmly on the button you choose until the door moves. You got this!
Hi, great video! I have 2 remotes ACSCTG type 3 and with good batteries I don't see the LED light up or blink when pushing on any of the buttons. I tried it using my camera like you can do on a TV remote to see the LED blink. Do these LEDs not light up at all? If they don't light up or blink then perhaps they're not working? Thanks.
The remote doesn't have an LED light. You want to watch the LED on the opener (LEARN button). Press learn button, then remote button, in and out until the door moves. It takes a few trys sometimes.
Thank you for such a quick response. There's just a little hole next to where you would open up for the battery to go in. It looks like it is an LED but upon closer examination I don't think it's an LED must just be some type of transmitter type thing. Thanks again! New subscriber here!
Thanks bro!!!! I have the exact same control in your video but I want to know if I could get a different style control same brand but different style and cheaper. But would it work or do I have to have the exact same remote.?? Please help
Great video, thanks! I have 2 Genie Intellicode garage door openers. I have a 3 button remote opener. I have the left garage door programmed to the left button, and the right garage door programmed to the right garage door. I tried programming the middle button to both doors so that both can be opened and/or closed at the same time but was unable to do so. Is it possible to program one button to two garage door openers? Thanks in advance.
Hello I tried this and was able to link the remote to the garage opener. But on the 3rd click I can see the red light on the garage indicating it receives a signal but the door itself does not open
@@garagedoorgenius thank you for the quick reply but that has already been done. like i said I can physically see the garage opener receiving the signal for that light turns on the second i press the remotes,( ive tried all of them). in terms of symptoms i woke up today only to find out the garage door has opened itself, the hard wired button still works but non of the remotes do dispite the signal being received.
I know exactly what you are talking about. My personal opener is a Genie PMX500 and did that same thing to me. Clear the memory on the unit. Then try programming.
@@garagedoorgenius mines an old giene screw drive, i tried that as well, im trying my last resort which is unplugging it for a while, hopefully that serves as a hard reset
Soft reboot won't hurt a thing. 30 seconds should be enough. Don't give up. If you can, try another battery. I've used new batteries that we're half dead. I would try one from a different pack. I know it seems unlikely, but it's hitting the signal, but not enough to pull it through. And after pressing the learn button, press in firmly on the remote, let go. Do it kinda quick also. Hope you figure it out!
I have the same remote just with three buttons. It works for five minutes or so after I program it. I’ve already replaced the battery. I have another remote that always works fine. What could it be?
I'm not having luck, and I've followed the directions exactly. The model garage door opening is a match to the one in the video, so I'm on target with the correct button. Remote lights up, so it's not a battery issue. I've cleared memory to start from scratch; still no luck. Other ideas ?
flashes, then goes steady. Just like in your video (which I watched and re-watched after each failure to get the remote working. I've had no problems with the remote. Left yesterday. Closed the door with it. Returned. It wouldn't work. Not sure why it suddenly didn't work so re programming seemed to be the solution since there was still battery power.
@@andreaolsen5538 although the light button comes on the remote, you still could have a very weak signal. It totally sounds like you're doing it right. I would try it again. When the LED on the opener goes solid red (no flashing) press in and out on the remote a few more times. If no luck, just for giggles, replace the battery. Remotes will seem to be powered, but produce a weak signal. When you first pressed the remote it may had enough signal to tell the opener to raise the door. After that the battery could be so weak, with every press of the button your depleting it that much more. Good luck 🤞!
@@garagedoorgenius That makes sense. About the battery being weak. That would explain why the remote shut the garage door when I left. Nothing changed when I returned an hour or so later. But I couldn't get the door to open. I'll tackle this tomorrow and hopefully report back that I've had success. Thank you so much for being so helpful. Very generous of you.
Thanks once again I know I commented yesterday on how to tighten the chain on my garage door opener but today I wanted to program my code pad to go for my garage door openers and somehow it got program to both of them and I need to learn how to erase the code thank you very much! ️ ☺️
Comment as much as you like! You can clear the keypad and just reprogram the door you want to open with it. But you have to clear the keypad, first step.
Did all the steps got one remote to pair with garage door. But I have new Overhead Door Codedoger that will not pair to the garage door, followed the same steps as did with the older opener. The new one has a new battery, light comes on the remote, light blinks on garage door but will not open or close door. Can't find another reason why it will not work. Any other suggestions?
Did you clear the memory on the machine? If not, you need to. Press and hold the learn button until the red LED light stops flashing. That's how you clear the memory on the machine and start fresh. Once you do that you will clear out anything that was program to that unit.
@@jeanneblore4840 Super weak battery? If the red light keeps blinking it could be A. Low battery B. Wrong remote for the machine C. Bad remote Check the battery tho..
With this remote, how do you close the garage door? I have this remote, it opens garage but can’t figure out how to close it without going all the way back in the house to close it. Please help me!
Does not work for me. The rental I'm in does not have any of these buttons visible. It's for the Genie BlueMax. Wish the video mentioned which models the programming steps are valid for.
Thank you! I have the same garage open but I bought a new Genie 3-button remote. Your method worked on that new remote perfectly. It saved me a lot of time wading through all those other TH-cam videos for the same information.
Yes! Thank you for posting this. This saved us a huge headache... Our neighbor's remote kept opening and closing our garage door. (we live in a town home and the owner we bought our home from owned both units in the past so I think he programmed the remote to both our garage units). This video helped us fix that problem. Thank you thank you thank you.
@@garagedoorgenius your voice is enough is what I should have said. Maybe take the music down a little. Don’t get me wrong, you have great to the point content. Thank you.
@@ronsmith5601 thanks for the feedback. Your comment is super valuable. It helps me become a better creator. The video was an old one that I did. I've gotten far better at mixing levels and all the tricks. But I'm still learning. I love an honest opinion about what I'm doing. So, thanks again!
Could be a couple things. Too many codes bog up the unit. First, make sure you aren't erasing the memory when programming the remotes. Just press in and out activating the learn button. Don't press and hold. If that's not it, then erase the memory. Start fresh and clear out existing codes. Press and hold the learn button until the LED light goes out. Then program the remotes and then the home links. 👍🏼
Exact same remote, exact same garage opener. Pushed the learn button, then pushed the remote button 3 times. Did not work. Do you think it’s the actual remote that’s bad? That’s what I’m thinking... but wasn’t sure. It worked for 2 weeks I had it then it just stopped working. When it did work I had to literally almost push the button in so far it would disappear. Suggestions? :)
Brand new battery is key. You get a better signal. When you press the remote, do you at least see the red LED flash on the machine. Like blink when you press the remote button?
@@89clevergirl you could always go buy a new Genie remote. I think they are $30 @ Lowe's or Home Depot. If it doesn't work, return it. Those remotes can be a pain to program sometimes. Almost like you have to hold your tounge just right to get them to synch up.
@@garagedoorgenius i and my husband have tried to program new key remote to the opener and it does not blink, flash or otherwise light up on learn code until or unless i push remote button.? idk what this signifies? i turned power off and on to see if that would help but no :-(
Thank You I just fix my garage door so it would go up and down now I can reset the code My husband pass away so I have to learn all this I hire people to do it BUT ???????? you know how that goes so I learn my self and I do pretty good So I' m not as dumb as I was told GOD BLESS YOU
Ma'am I'm sorry about your husband. I assure you are not dumb. You're a strong smart woman who just figured out how to program your garage remote! Good job to you.
Two things #1 You have about 30 seconds after pushing the learn button before you have to push the button on your remote. #2 The reason for #1 is because you need to be at least 5 feet away from the unit before you push the button.
Thank you, you just saved me from having to return this remote I just ordered from them! I couldn’t get it to work the way they described in the instructions until I climbed off the step stool and stepped a few feet back.
If it's a Genie machines you want to make sure the LEDS are on. One will be green one will be red. They are located at the bottom of the vertical tracks.
Referred to this video twice now on two different occasions. Way easier to follow than even Genie’s own tutorial!
Thank you for the supportive feedback! I really appreciate it. 💯👍🏼

Does this work w/ newly bought genie remotes? I lost mine and bought a new one to try to connect.
Yes ma'am!
Garage Door Genius oh thank god 😭 it was my grandpas I lost while I’m watching their house lol thought I was gonna die haha thank you so much
@@katherinepitts8556 you're welcome!
When you program, after you press the learn button on the garage door opener, press in and out firmly on the button you choose until the door moves. You got this!
Hi, great video! I have 2 remotes ACSCTG type 3 and with good batteries I don't see the LED light up or blink when pushing on any of the buttons. I tried it using my camera like you can do on a TV remote to see the LED blink. Do these LEDs not light up at all? If they don't light up or blink then perhaps they're not working? Thanks.
The remote doesn't have an LED light. You want to watch the LED on the opener (LEARN button).
Press learn button, then remote button, in and out until the door moves. It takes a few trys sometimes.
Thank you for such a quick response. There's just a little hole next to where you would open up for the battery to go in. It looks like it is an LED but upon closer examination I don't think it's an LED must just be some type of transmitter type thing. Thanks again! New subscriber here!
Thanks bro!!!! I have the exact same control in your video but I want to know if I could get a different style control same brand but different style and cheaper. But would it work or do I have to have the exact same remote.?? Please help
Jesus Gonzalez
You're welcome!
Garage Door Genius can I get a different control?
Yes you can. You can get either the same type you have or a Chamberlain Universal. Both will work.
Garage Door Genius so a new genie would work as long as it has the inteligente thing ?
Garage Door Genius I’m looking at the 3 button genie control
So how do you change the battery in this remote?
Bottom of the remote on the back. There's a little door that opens up.
Great video, thanks! I have 2 Genie Intellicode garage door openers. I have a 3 button remote opener. I have the left garage door programmed to the left button, and the right garage door programmed to the right garage door. I tried programming the middle button to both doors so that both can be opened and/or closed at the same time but was unable to do so. Is it possible to program one button to two garage door openers? Thanks in advance.
Hello I tried this and was able to link the remote to the garage opener. But on the 3rd click I can see the red light on the garage indicating it receives a signal but the door itself does not open
Put a fresh battery in and give it another shot!
@@garagedoorgenius thank you for the quick reply but that has already been done. like i said I can physically see the garage opener receiving the signal for that light turns on the second i press the remotes,( ive tried all of them). in terms of symptoms i woke up today only to find out the garage door has opened itself, the hard wired button still works but non of the remotes do dispite the signal being received.
I know exactly what you are talking about. My personal opener is a Genie PMX500 and did that same thing to me. Clear the memory on the unit. Then try programming.
@@garagedoorgenius mines an old giene screw drive, i tried that as well, im trying my last resort which is unplugging it for a while, hopefully that serves as a hard reset
Soft reboot won't hurt a thing. 30 seconds should be enough.
Don't give up. If you can, try another battery. I've used new batteries that we're half dead. I would try one from a different pack. I know it seems unlikely, but it's hitting the signal, but not enough to pull it through. And after pressing the learn button, press in firmly on the remote, let go. Do it kinda quick also. Hope you figure it out!
Thank you good sir for keeping it short and simple 👍
@@volkssilver no problem!
I have lost my remote! I miss it but I must buy a new one now and this vid helped me with how to program and erase! Cool metal music btw
👊🏼😎🤘🏼
How far can you open the Garage door from
They got a pretty decent range. Never really tested how far. That would be a killer video. 👍🏼💯
I have the same remote just with three buttons. It works for five minutes or so after I program it. I’ve already replaced the battery. I have another remote that always works fine. What could it be?
Where can I order a one button remote
Right here! 🙏

I'm not having luck, and I've followed the directions exactly. The model garage door opening is a match to the one in the video, so I'm on target with the correct button. Remote lights up, so it's not a battery issue. I've cleared memory to start from scratch; still no luck. Other ideas ?
When you press the remote button does the LED light on the opener flash?
@@garagedoorgenius yes it does.
flashes, then goes steady. Just like in your video (which I watched and re-watched after each failure to get the remote working. I've had no problems with the remote. Left yesterday. Closed the door with it. Returned. It wouldn't work. Not sure why it suddenly didn't work so re programming seemed to be the solution since there was still battery power.
@@andreaolsen5538 although the light button comes on the remote, you still could have a very weak signal. It totally sounds like you're doing it right.
I would try it again. When the LED on the opener goes solid red (no flashing) press in and out on the remote a few more times.
If no luck, just for giggles, replace the battery. Remotes will seem to be powered, but produce a weak signal. When you first pressed the remote it may had enough signal to tell the opener to raise the door. After that the battery could be so weak, with every press of the button your depleting it that much more. Good luck 🤞!
@@garagedoorgenius That makes sense. About the battery being weak. That would explain why the remote shut the garage door when I left. Nothing changed when I returned an hour or so later. But I couldn't get the door to open. I'll tackle this tomorrow and hopefully report back that I've had success. Thank you so much for being so helpful. Very generous of you.
It took more time to open the box than to program the new remote. Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad to help. 🙏
Thanks once again I know I commented yesterday on how to tighten the chain on my garage door opener but today I wanted to program my code pad to go for my garage door openers and somehow it got program to both of them and I need to learn how to erase the code thank you very much! ️ ☺️
Comment as much as you like!
You can clear the keypad and just reprogram the door you want to open with it. But you have to clear the keypad, first step.
What color is the keypad? Black or white?
@@garagedoorgenius white
Did all the steps got one remote to pair with garage door. But I have new Overhead Door Codedoger that will not pair to the garage door, followed the same steps as did with the older opener. The new one has a new battery, light comes on the remote, light blinks on garage door but will not open or close door. Can't find another reason why it will not work.
Any other suggestions?
Did you clear the memory on the machine?
If not, you need to. Press and hold the learn button until the red LED light stops flashing. That's how you clear the memory on the machine and start fresh. Once you do that you will clear out anything that was program to that unit.
Garage Door Genius hi i pressed learn code button and radio signal kept blinking after pressing remote, never stopped blinking. Thx
@@jeanneblore4840
Super weak battery?
If the red light keeps blinking it could be
A. Low battery
B. Wrong remote for the machine
C. Bad remote
Check the battery tho..
Garage Door Genius I did change battery. It was the round battery 3V.
@@jeanneblore4840
What brand remote is it?
With this remote, how do you close the garage door? I have this remote, it opens garage but can’t figure out how to close it without going all the way back in the house to close it. Please help me!
You close it the same way you open it.
Now if you can't close it, check the safety sensors. Make sure one is solid GREEN and the other solid RED.
@@garagedoorgenius Safety sensors! One of mine blinks red. I tried unplugging the unit to reset it, how do I get solid red?
Have you tried adjusting it by just repositioning it?
@@garagedoorgenius Yes, it was impossible even with two people. I think it's damaged, the lens is dislodged inside.
@@zootybeano Amazon has the sensors. Super easy to replace.

I have a key to open my garage. How do I reprogram Genie to a remote opener?
Thank you! Worked perfectly in seconds!
Glad to help!
I’m looking for somebody who can show how to open the light cover so I can access the learn button, etc.
Genie opener?
It should just swing down. There are latched at the top of the light cover, but you should be able to just pull it down.
Does not work for me. The rental I'm in does not have any of these buttons visible. It's for the Genie BlueMax. Wish the video mentioned which models the programming steps are valid for.
No Learn button on the garage door opener? Do you see a line of dip switches?
Sorry, there's like 100 different models this process works for.
Thank you.... This video is so helpful. It works at my first try. Thank you so much !!
You're welcome 😊!
This was straight to the point and the music was perfect to fit this video. Thanks so much.
Amanda Jackson
Your so welcome!
Thank you!!
How can you erase the code on the remote if you're nowhere near the garage door opener? Thx.
Unfortunately you can't erase the code from the remote. The learn button on the garage door opener is where all that happens.
@@garagedoorgenius thanks for the quick reply! 👍
@@vickijd22 no problem. I'm here to help! 👍🏼
Thank you ! Just bought a house and this helped a bunch
Glad the video helped out bud! 👊🏼 Have a great weekend.
Thank you! I have the same garage open but I bought a new Genie 3-button remote. Your method worked on that new remote perfectly. It saved me a lot of time wading through all those other TH-cam videos for the same information.

Don’t see any learn button even under light cover ?
Do you see dip switches?
What model, do you know?
Thanks , found it in back, under cover underneath well hidden 😆 yup it worked
Thanks
@@BrogeKilrain
Sweet!!
Yes! Thank you for posting this. This saved us a huge headache... Our neighbor's remote kept opening and closing our garage door. (we live in a town home and the owner we bought our home from owned both units in the past so I think he programmed the remote to both our garage units). This video helped us fix that problem. Thank you thank you thank you.

Awesome!
You're welcome dude!
Thanks for this! I just set up our remote because of your video!
You're welcome 😊
Glad to help!
Thank you for the great video. May I suggest to lower the background music than your voice so voice becomes prominent and music takes a backstage.
Hey you want some you lose some can't please everybody! Maybe I should have put subtitles to it. 🤣
@@garagedoorgenius your voice is enough is what I should have said. Maybe take the music down a little. Don’t get me wrong, you have great to the point content. Thank you.
@@ronsmith5601 thanks for the feedback. Your comment is super valuable. It helps me become a better creator. The video was an old one that I did. I've gotten far better at mixing levels and all the tricks. But I'm still learning. I love an honest opinion about what I'm doing. So, thanks again!
I have been trying to program this for two hours now. My unit seems to recognize the opener but the door won’t open or close, all the opened work fine
Perry does your wall button work fine? Does it open and close the door with no issues?
Garage Door Genius yep I got two units in my truck and my car plus one keypad outside, and two indoor push buttons in the house and they all work fine
When I program my remotes, the Homelink in my cars all erase! How do I program just the remotes without screwing up my automobiles Homelink?
Could be a couple things. Too many codes bog up the unit.
First, make sure you aren't erasing the memory when programming the remotes. Just press in and out activating the learn button. Don't press and hold.
If that's not it, then erase the memory. Start fresh and clear out existing codes. Press and hold the learn button until the LED light goes out. Then program the remotes and then the home links. 👍🏼
Woo Hoo! worked for me and we have an old Genie and an old remote.
Sweet!! Nice job 👍
It worked like a champ!!!!!! Thanks so much for all of your help ❤️👍
Glad to help!
Exact same remote, exact same garage opener. Pushed the learn button, then pushed the remote button 3 times. Did not work. Do you think it’s the actual remote that’s bad? That’s what I’m thinking... but wasn’t sure. It worked for 2 weeks I had it then it just stopped working. When it did work I had to literally almost push the button in so far it would disappear. Suggestions? :)
Brand new battery is key. You get a better signal.
When you press the remote, do you at least see the red LED flash on the machine. Like blink when you press the remote button?
@@garagedoorgenius yes, it blinks on the machine, red once you push the learn code button. The battery is brand new in the remote. So odd!
@@89clevergirl you could always go buy a new Genie remote. I think they are $30 @ Lowe's or Home Depot. If it doesn't work, return it. Those remotes can be a pain to program sometimes. Almost like you have to hold your tounge just right to get them to synch up.
@@garagedoorgenius i will try that! Thank you for your time and help 😎😃
@@garagedoorgenius i and my husband have tried to program new key remote to the opener and it does not blink, flash or otherwise light up on learn code until or unless i push remote button.? idk what this signifies? i turned power off and on to see if that would help but no :-(
Thank you. Looks like you need every inch of that garage space!
Lol, you're welcome 😁! Yes I do.
Thank You I just fix my garage door so it would go up and down now I can reset the code My husband pass away so I have to learn all this I hire people to do it BUT ???????? you know how that goes so I learn my self and I do pretty good So I' m not as dumb as I was told GOD BLESS YOU
Ma'am I'm sorry about your husband. I assure you are not dumb. You're a strong smart woman who just figured out how to program your garage remote! Good job to you.
@@garagedoorgenius wholesome
Well that was the easiest thing I've done all week thanks!
Glad to help, my friend! 💯
I did it how you did but only works going up not down
If it's not going down then check your safety sensors. Make sure they are in line with each other. Sensors not working will cause closing issues.
How do I slide the clip on?!!!!?
You gotta pull it off from the top.
@@garagedoorgenius Well I tried again. I just pushed it with more force...
Door opens and shuts again. Thanks.

Thank you for the very simple, easy to follow instructions. I was done in under 5 minutes!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Wow it was so easy, thank you
@@marxescobar8900 easy peasey! 👍🏼
Two things
#1 You have about 30 seconds after pushing the learn button before you have to push the button on your remote.
#2 The reason for #1 is because you need to be at least 5 feet away from the unit before you push the button.
Great pro tip! 🙏
it's really a two man job. you need another person to watch the signal LED. that goes for the push button garage units too.
Thank you, you just saved me from having to return this remote I just ordered from them! I couldn’t get it to work the way they described in the instructions until I climbed off the step stool and stepped a few feet back.
🔥💯🔥

Your welcome!
Thanks for the help, again. Every time I have to learn again.
You're welcome and no problem!
It worked! But only goes up & when I click it again it wont go back down ..
Rocky make sure the safety sensors are working. Most of the time why a garage door won't close is because of the sensors.
What exactly do I look for when checking the sensors?
If it's a Genie machines you want to make sure the LEDS are on. One will be green one will be red. They are located at the bottom of the vertical tracks.
