Craftsman Garage Door Opener 3-Function Visor Remote Control

Quality Product

One of our old remotes went bad, so we decided to buy two of these remotes knowing we would be buying a new car this year, so we thought we'd save the old one that worked to have three for our three vehicles. This remote was extremely easy to program. It took just a few minutes.The only downfall of this remote was that it is on a different frequency from our old remotes and the keyless entry pad. As a result, we can no longer use the old remote that still works or the old keyless entry pad. We actually just purchased a new keyless entry pad last night, and I just now finished programming it. The two remotes and the keyless entry pad are working perfectly.

Very good unit

Only have owned this unit for about 2 months. It works well with our Craftsman 3/4HP GDO. The unit does not rattle while out car is in motion

Add one step to programming

Purchased and tried to program remote to coincide with three other remotes. After numerous tries and having to tighten down door opener tension due to all the openings and closings of the door, discovered the remote would only work within 6 inches of the opener. Swapped batteries and still would not work any better. Exchanged for another new opener and had the same problem. Then I read online review about stepping away from the opener before programming. Presto! It worked instantly. Craftsman needs to add this additional info to it's instructions.

Great Replacement for Blue Button Remote

Although Sears in their infinite wisdom discontinued sales of the remote for my garage door within five years of my purchase, they finally came out with this replacement. The directions were easy to read, follow, and program. It took me less than five minutes from the time I opened the package to putting my ladder away after the programming. Thank you, Sears, for finally making an acceptable replacement.

It DOES work, if...

OK, I'm an engineer, it does work BUT there are additional programming details not expected. On some openers, it MUST be removed from packaging to program it as there is another Program button on the REMOTE, under the visor clip that must be pressed before the Learn button on the receiver. Even then it took 3 tries for it to work/accept the transmitter but it DOES work.. Info on box is incomplete, does not include this. I assume other/most? receivers do not require this additional step. Remove it from packaging and try before giving up/returning it. I would have returned it without having read other warning. Enjoy

Good replacement

I had an older remote that I had to click and play around with until it worked. I finally broke down and purchased this replacement. The first one I bought was defective, but was cheerfully replaced. The new one was easy to program and works well.

Did not work

This should have been checked before you sold it.

works great

easy to program

Try this programming trick before calling it quits...

I have a Craftsman Garage Door Opener that was made in 1999. The programming button on the opener is green.The rep in the store told me that I could program the opener with out ever taking it out of the package (allowing easy return if it didn't work for me). This however was NOT the case. At least not with my garage door opener.You have to open it up because you need to access the program button on the back side of the opener (which later gets covered by the clip). Follow the instructions included with the remote. 1. Press the program button on the remote.2. Press the learn button on the garage door opener.3. STEP FURTHER AWAY FROM THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER4. THEN press the desired button on the remote.5. If the light bulb flashes on the opener, press another button on the remote to exit program mode.I tried this a dozen times without stepping away for step 4. It never worked. When I stepped away, it worked the first time.Hope this is helpful.

Useless

I purchased the original remote in September and found it to only work sometimes. This past month I returned it and received another one. This one would not even connect with my opener. I have since returned it and have no opener for the time being but paying over $40 for a useless item is too much and not even a number to call for help.

ease of matching

the old remotes had to be matched with the color antenna. new style one works for all
