reprogramming keypad door opener - help

I just bought a home with a 1/2 hp craftsman door opener mounted in the garage. It works beautifully for the 9' uninsulated alum. door. The seller of the home passed away 1 week before I bought the property and her daughter sold it to me. She (the daughter) had no idea what the number code was for the keypad opener. Is their any way I can still use this thing or do I have to remove it and just throw it out?

Thanks

there is a learn button on the side or back of the motor.press and hold it till the learn indicator light goes out about 6 sec.all codes will then be erased.then reprogram each remote or keyless entry you wish.

OK, I was able to erase all the codes in the reciever. I was able to reprogram the codes from the remotes into the reciever. But I don't know what I have to do to program a working numeric code for the keyless entry number pad. Any Ideas?

Thanks

press and release the learn button on the motor unit,the indicator light will glow steadily for 30sec.
within 30sec,enter a four digit number on the key pad,then press and hold the enter button.
release the button when the motor lights blink,it has learned the code,if no light bulbs in it then you will hear two clicks.

I appreciate your excellent advice. Went outside and had it working in less than 2 minutes. Works flawlessly.

Thanks again

Broken torsion bar spring

T

trs4594 on Jan 16, 2005

Heard an awful noise in the garage. The spring on the torsion bar broke-the actual spring itself. While the opener seems to work, I lost all tension for opening the door. I have installed both garage doors and openers and know the torsion bar can be dangerous to work on. But I need to know if I can get just the torsion bar and spring as a kit. Any ideas, comments, or recommendations for me out there? Car is stuck in the garage until I can get some help raising it, and then replacing this unit...

Garage door opener not closing

P

pbar on Jan 18, 2005

I installed a Sears MN 139.53989 Garage Door Opener in August of 2003. When my wife came home last night he door would not close, had to manually close the door. When the button is pressed to close the door the lights flash, this signals the the door sensors are not lighned up correctly. I lighned up the sensors per the manual and tried to clse the door again, door went down about 5" and then went back up. Questions: Does anyone have any tricks for aligning these safety sensors? Does anyone know how to bypass these sensors? :mad:
