Program your garage door opener by watching this Invitation Homes "Know Your Home" video. TranscriptShawna: Hello, I’m Shawna with Invitation Homes, and today we’re going to talk with you about how to reprogram a replacement garage door opener. First, you’ll need to determine what type of garage door motor unit you have in your home. All you have to do is carefully remove the light cover from your garage door motor unit to see whether it’s supplied with a Smart Learn button or with DIP switches. A motor unit with a Smart Learn button will look like this. It’s best to follow the instructions included with your replacement remote, but in the event you don’t have the instructions, make sure the garage door is in the down position. Press and hold the program button in the remote until the LED lights up. You’ll need to press and release the Smart Learn button on the garage door motor unit, then select and press a button to program on the remote. You’ll need to press the button on the remote the specific number of times determined by the manufacturer of your garage door motor unit, ensuring the LED lights stop flashing after each press.
This information can be found on the website for the replacement remote if you’ve misplaced the instructions. The code is accepted when one of the following occurs. You hear a click in the motor unit, the garage door activates, or the light on the unit turns on. Then press the program button again in the remote. You should now test the remote. If the unit does not work, you should return to the beginning step where you pressed and held the program button in the remote. A motor unit with DIP switches will look like this. To program your remote to this type of unit, you’ll need to match the position of the DIP switches in your new remote to those in the old remote, or to the switches in your garage door motor unit. Once these have been set, you’ll need to press and hold the program button in the remote until the LED lights up. Then select and press a button to program on the remote. Next, press the button on the remote the specific number of times determined by the manufacturer of your garage door motor unit, ensuring that the LED light stops flashing after each press.
The code is accepted when the garage door activates. Then press the program button in the remote. If the unit does not work, you should return to the step where you are matching the DIP switches. If you wish to program the buttons in your vehicle to operate the opener, please refer to your vehicle’s manual for instructions.Hack a 12-DIP garage door opener remote Ya put the 24 pins in their respective spot and bam! Okay, so after getting the pcb, You'll need twelve TLP621 optocouplers, an arduino(nano), two sets of headers (12 long each), soldering and desoldering equipment, and a garage door opener with a 12-dip encoding system. After soldering the parts in the schematic to the pcb, you desolder the 12-DIP switch and attach each set of two pins to their respective numbered header with either hookup wire, or jumpers. The next step is to short the button on the remote such that it is always on. This way, the remote will go through all of the codes and test them all, without you having to hold the button down.

The dip switches need to be set exactly the same. The new remote will come with instructions.I understand how frustrating it is having trouble with finding a remote to work the garage door opener. We are here to help. Your opener uses the dip switches to set the frequency code. Before you purchase a new remote, open it up and check the battery, then look at the dip switches. Next, match the switches on the remote with the wall control.
The wall control has to be taken apart to locate the dip switches. Now try the remote and see if it works. If that does not work, change the switch positions and make sure they match. Also, make sure the wall control works. If the wall control does not work, you may need a new opener. A working wall control is need for the remotes to work. Therefore, if the wall control works and the current remote will not program, replace the remote. A dip switch style remote may work the opener. You need to open the wall control and find out how many switches there is. You have to purchase a remote with the same number of switches, so you can match the positions. The other option you have is a conversion kit. That has a box with 1 or 2 remotes with it. Just wire it per the instructions that come with the conversion kit. I hope this helps. with the model number.Please feel free to let me know if you need further assistance. We are always here to help. Thanks for your reply, but this does not help me.
My current remote does not have dip switches for me to copy. With no learning button and no dip switches, What can I do? You have the wrong remote. I have the remote pictured in the sears diagram for transmitter 139.663600. The exploded view is exactly the same as what i have.I don't see dip switches on it anywhere. Only a circuit board. I bought a universal remote from chamberlain that should work per the sears sales person based on year. I found the dip switches on the new remote- nothing like it on old one. Was hoping someone could tell me what the switch positions would be for programming without having one to compare it too. Replacement transmitter remote unavailable. What can I do? Have you followed the instructions given by John H. above? Maggie, You need to open the wall control up to find the switches. It is located on the circuit board. After that just match the positions and it should work. If it does not, change to switch position on the wall control and match it with the remote.
