Keep reading to learn how to reprogram a Chamberlain garage door opener.

How to Reprogram a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener

The key difference between programming a reprogramming a garage door opener is the reset of settings and code. And the erasing of the memory. Follow the steps below to reprogram a Chamberlain garage door opener.

Step 1. Erase the Door Opener’s Memory

First, you must reset the door opener by deleting all previous programming codes:

  • Look for the LEARN button at the back of the motor housing
  • Hold the button for six seconds until the LED light beside it goes out
  • Reset the garage door opener and erase all the existing programming
  • Check if you’re successful by opening the garage door using the remote.

Step 2. Reconnect the Remote Control

Next, you need to program the remote control following the exact steps for your particular model. If you forgot the model of your garage door opener, simply look at the color of the LEARN button. The color corresponds to the number of times you need to press the button.

Color of LEARN ButtonNo. of PressesGarage Door Opener Model
Yellow1Security+ 2.0
Purple2315 MHz Security+
Red/Orange3390 MHz Security+
Green4390 MHz Billion Code

Note: You only have 30 seconds to reprogram your remote control. So ensure everything is ready and you are familiar with the steps.

On your remote control, look for a metal chip inside a hole. This can be found on the side or the back behind a vizor. Hold this button using a straight and sturdy wire because it’s not easy to press to prevent you from accidentally reprogramming your door opener. A paper clip can be an ideal item to use.

Press this button until the light comes on. When it does, you have 30 seconds to complete the reprogramming steps. Press and release the LEARN button on the garage door opener. Then, press the desired button on the remote corresponding to the number of presses for the color of your LEARN button.

You’d know that everything is successful if the LED bulb blinks. To check, go to your garage door and use the remote to open it.

Step 3. Reprogram the Keypad

To reprogram the keypad:

  • Press the LEARN button on the motor housing. Once the LED light turns on, you have 30 seconds to complete the process.
  • Enter the 4-digit code and press ENTER until you hear a click.
  • Check if the light bulb flashes.
  • Press ENTER on the keypad and wait for the garage door to close. Press the 4-digit code and check if the door opens.

How to Program a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Directly with the Remote Control

The Chamberlain remote control is a great way to open and close your garage door with one simple press of a button. Programming it will allow you to access keyless entries, and here are the steps to take in order to do so, using only your garage door opener:

Step 1: Locate the “Learn” Button on the Garage Door Opener

On the opener motor that hangs from the ceiling of your garage, locate a “Learn” button. As we mentioned before, if you cannot find it, look just above the antenna wire (don’t forget – it could be under the garage door opener’s light cover).

Step 2: Determine the Garage Door Opener’s Radio Frequency

You can determine the remote control’s radio frequency (in MHz) by looking at the LED light’s color, located right beside the “Learn” button, and then by looking up that light and corresponding frequency in the owner’s manual. In case you missed them, earlier we listed many of the possible radio frequencies (known here as the garage door’s ID number).

Once you have determined that your garage door opener and remote control’s frequencies are compatible, you may need to clear your garage door opener’s memory (such as, if you recently purchased the house and you want to change to a new remote control).

Step 3: Program Your Remote Control to Your Garage Door Opener

Now you must press the “Learn” button on the garage door opener. Follow this step with pressing one of the remote-control buttons. When the garage door opener light bulbs flash or you hear a couple of clicks, then you know your remote control is programmed.

As always, test your remote control to make sure the process worked.

How to Program a Chamberlain Remote Control with the Door Control

Press the “Learn” button on your door control, if it has one. Not all door controls (the device on your wall you can use to open your door) will have learn functions, but yours may. If your door control has a plastic cover that’s able to be lifted off, it may be located right underneath it. Press this button once to access the door control’s pairing mode.

If your door control looks more like a doorbell, you may be able to access the “Learn” function by holding the light button on the side of the device while pressing and releasing the front button.

If you have a smart door control, you can activate pairing mode through its menu. Navigate to the program tab of the menu, then select >remote.

Push a programmable button on your remote control. Select and press one of the face buttons on your remote control—it doesn’t matter which one. The garage lights will flash, or you might hear 2 clicks. This tells you that you’ve successfully programmed your remote control.

Some types of remote controls, like the Chamberlain Universal Remote, may need to be put into pairing mode before they can be programmed. If you press the bottom button for 15 seconds, then release it, the remote will be in pairing mode for 60 seconds.

Use your remote control to test out your garage door opener. If the garage door opens, the device has been successfully programmed. If not, you may have objects near the door obstructing it. If this isn’t the problem, you may have to try programming the remote control with the garage door opener (the box attached to your ceiling).

How to Program a Chamberlain Remote Control with the Garage Door Opener

Find the “Learn” button on your garage door opener. The “Learn” button is how you’ll be programming your remote. It’s located above the antenna wire that hangs from the garage door opener’s motorhead (the garage door opener is located on your ceiling). It may be covered by a light cover, which you’ll need to remove to access it. Next to the “Learn” button is a small LED light, which is used to check the compatibility of the opener with remote controls.

Check the LED light inside the opener for compatibility. The color of the LED light lets you know if your remote is compatible. The LED light next to the learn button tells you which radio frequency the garage door opener uses. You can see what kinds of openers your remote is capable of working with by checking its manual.

Garage door openers come with a few different colors for their “Learn” buttons—red, yellow, green, and purple. Keep in mind that over time, red buttons can look orange, and purple buttons may appear brown.

While current Chamberlain garage door remotes are compatible with nearly all doors produced after 1993, some older remotes may have more limited compatibility.

If your garage door opener isn’t compatible with your remote, you may want to purchase a newer model.

Clear your garage door opener’s memory (optional). If your door was previously programmed, clear its memory. Have your garage door opener forget its previous connections by holding the “Learn” button for about 6 seconds. The LED light for the “Learn” button should turn off, at which point you’ll know that your garage door’s previous connections have been cleared.

Push the learn button on your garage door opener. Switch on the programming mode of your garage door opener. This just takes a simple button push—press the learn button on your garage door opener, then immediately release it. Your garage door opener can now be to be paired with a remote control.

Press a programmable button on your remote control. After pressing the learn button, you have 30 seconds to program the remote. Push one of the face buttons on your remote control—it doesn’t matter which one. The garage lights should flash, or you may hear 2 clicks. This lets you know that you’ve successfully programmed the remote control.

Some types of remote controls, like the Chamberlain Universal Remote, may need to be put into pairing mode before they can be programmed. If you press the bottom button for 15 seconds, then release it, the remote will be in pairing mode for 60 seconds.

Test out your garage door opener. Push the programmed button on your remote again to test the connection. If your garage door opens, you’ve successfully programmed your remote. If not, you may have to do some troubleshooting. Try some of the following steps:

Make sure that the area around the garage door is clear.

Redo the programming process.

If nothing else works, get in contact with Chamberlain customer service.

How to Program a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener with the Keypad

The Chamberlain keypad is another device that you can use to open and close your garage door, and this one works without having to use a remote control. You will need to install the keypad if you have not already done so, which goes outside of the garage and is powered by a 9-volt battery.

Once you have installed wireless keyless entry keypad, you can start setting it up. Here are the steps you will need to take to program it:

Step 1: Locate the “Learn” Button on the Garage Door Opener

In this method, you will still want to locate a “Learn” button. However, this time you will simply locate the button on the garage door opener itself – the opener motor that hangs on the ceiling of your garage. If you are having difficulty finding the “Learn” button, it should be just above the antenna wire, and it possibly might be under the light cover (which, in that case, you will have to pull off before finding the button).

Step 2: Locate the LED Light Beside the “Learn” Button

Once you have located the “Learn” button, you will also want to locate the LED light beside it. An interesting feature here is that the color of the LED light lens will indicate to you what type of garage door opener ID you have (which will help you program it easier). You will need this ID number in order to program your garage door opener.

Be sure to double check your manual, but the LED light colors usually correspond with the following IDs:

  • Red or orange light’s ID: 2
  • Purple light’s ID: 3
  • Green light’s ID: 4
  • Yellow light’s ID: 8

Step 3: Get Your Keypad Ready to Program

Go back to your keyless entry keypad. Press the two outside bottom buttons: the asterisk (*) and the pound sign (#). No need to press them a number of times – simply hold them down until your keypad lights stop flashing. Then you can enter your garage door’s 4-digit PIN number.

Once you have entered the numbers in, you will need to also enter your garage door’s ID number (see previous step).

Step 4: Pair the Keypad to the Garage Door Opener

Go back to the garage door opener and press the “Learn” button one time. Return to the keypad and type in your 4-digit personal identification number, followed by the number “0.” Once this happens, you have successfully programmed your garage door opener, pairing it with your keypad.

Step 5: Test Your Keypad

You can now test your keypad – enter the PIN you programmed it with and then press enter (if applicable). If done correctly, the keypad should send a signal to the garage opener and cause it to open or close accordingly.

If this does not work, try programming again and make sure all of your connections are secure. You may also want to consult your remote-control manual for more detailed instructions.

How to Program a Chamberlain Garage Door Opener with the Door Control

Both the garage door control and the garage door remote control devices often come in handy and are designed to make life a whole lot easier as you come and go from your home. However, you need to know how to program them so that you can actually use them! Let’s dive into how to program your Chamberlain garage door opener using the door control and remote control.

Step 1: Locate the “Learn” Button

You need to find the ‘Learn’ button, if your door control has one. This can usually be found on the front of your door control, sometimes underneath a plastic panel that you can lift.

Step 2: Press the ‘Learn’ Button

Once you have located the learn button, press it. This will activate the programming mode (called the pairing mode) of your door control.

Step 3: Activate your Garage Door Remote Control

Now it’s time to activate your remote control. To do this, press and hold any one of the remote control’s transmitter buttons for roughly two or three seconds. You might see an indicator light flash a few times or you might hear a couple of clicks.

If you are having trouble finding the transmitter buttons, they are simply the little buttons on the front of the remote control. The remote control is actually a small little radio transmitter, and it sends and receives radio frequency waves to and from the garage door.

Step 4: Test the Garage Door Opener

Once you have followed the instructions above, it’s time to test your remote control by pressing it again. This will usually cause the garage door opener lights to flash, and then your garage door should open or close accordingly.

If this doesn’t happen, try programming again and make sure everything is connected correctly. If all else fails, consult your remote control’s manual for more detailed instructions.
