Overview of How to Reprogram Liftmaster Garage Door Opener
Liftmaster (Chamberlain Group) garage door openers can be reprogrammed quickly by erasing existing codes and teaching remotes to the opener using the Learn button. Erasing clears all remotes, keypads, and MyQ devices by holding the Learn button until its LED goes out (different press sequences for some units). To reprogram, press Learn (indicator steady ~30 seconds) then press and hold the remote button until the opener lights flash twice or you hear two clicks. A compatibility chart lists replacement remotes, keypads, and Learn button colors by Liftmaster model and year.
