From what little you relate regarding your problem my first guess would be the reciever / logic board would be the cause of your problem. As the name implies, this board has the reciever for both the remotes and the remote keypad. If you would supply the model number of the opener we could help you find the part number and assist in replaceing it.

Is the light on the opener working and check the outlet that the opener is plugged into for power. Does the opener make any kind of noise when you try to operate it? If so check the track release mechanism that disconnect the door from the track. This may sound silly, But does the remote have a fresh battery. Try the second remote also.

Keypad and remote won't work at the same time

I have reset the opener to delete all codes, then programmed the keypad, which will then open the door. Unfortunately, when I try to add the remote for the car - it won't work. If I clear the codes, then add the remoter first, the keypad won't "add". Any suggestions? It's a 1/2 horsepower Craftsman, but I don't have the part number handy.

I've bought 2 new 3/4hp belt drive garage door openers (Craftsman) and when I started programing the travel of the new door the the door opens to the trolley stop bolt no matter how many times it is stopped with the black button. Now it stops on the lowering position after about 8" of travel. The instructions say:"RPM Sensor may be the problem" What's a RPM Sensor and where is it located? Then it says to replace logic board? No instructions. No diagnostic code. It flashes 13 times. Should I just pack this opener up and return to the store? There are no contact phone numbers anywhere.

Extension cord use with Model 53915

I'm wondering if it's okay to use a 12-foot 14-gauge "outdoor use" extension cord with the Craftsman 53915 garage door opener.

Craftsman Garage Door Opener

magunn — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:50:04 GMT

I have a garage door opener that is about 15 years old and needs to be replaced. The owner's manual lists it as a Craftsman model no. 139.53535SRT1 or 139.53644SRT or 139.53647SRT1. Not sure to know which model it is for sure, although my guess would be the cheapest one, and what would be a model number of the newer version of it (so replacing it would be the easiest by maybe using the old working parts). Any ideas?

I've got a special security "reader".

My two dogs.

The equivalent sensor would be called a smell-o-meter...

Its good for when you have your hands full and can't press alot of keys i suppose.

And seriously, who wouldn't want a finger print reader? Its just too cool. I want one that reads my retina and voice print.

Don't we all lol. Perhaps we should visit Q and 007 for those hahaha.

Actually they have fingerprint readers at Universal Studios Florida on the lockers at the Men In Black Ride.

There are no less than THREE Elmos up on the temporary toy shelf!

But, we've got the Christmas Manger, playing loud holiday music, to drown-out any of the talking Elmo's.

Since 1993 all residential garage door openers are required to have safety sensors. As far as things that will open your door magically. There are remotes, wireless keypads, biometric keypads (the fingerprint thing,) Homelink (the remote built into your car, switch keys (a key you can turn that will trip the garage door opener,) the wall button that is wired into your garage door opener mounted inside your garage, wireless wall buttons, clicking your heals three times (but this only works if you are pressing a remote at the same time.) I'm sure there are more.

We used a broomstick handle with the Barney Pinyatta on one of my daughter's birthday parties.

"Just use... your imagination."

That's it! Hit Barney again! He wants to give you ALL... the candy.

It was a wonderful right-of-passage.

Oh yes, I wonder what Elmo toy they'll come out with this holiday? They've almost exhausted all the options. They need something that fits the times. What about Anti-depressent Elmo? "Prozac make Elmo Happy, hehe"
