I should have done this a long time ago but we are so happy to have it installed now. We go for walks in the evenings and I always worried about leaving the garage open but didn't want to carry my house keys with us. This allows us to close the garage and reenter when we return home!

Yes you saved our day! . We have the same garage door opener as you , yet we had already purchased the liftmaster 878. The graphic reference on the instructions indicated our learn button was red, but,,, here you called it purple. When we followed the instructions for the purple learn button,,, it finally worked!

I tried something different and took the keypad off and brought it to the opener with the door shut and sure enough, it worked the very first time, Thank You for your concern. I would like to tell you something that you might have already picked up on youtube but it sure helped me when I found this out. My remote in the car stopped working unless I drove close to the garage and I would have to click it over and over sometimes the door would open and sometimes it wouldn't and then pretty soon my wife's remote started doing the same thing, I looked on KZfaq and found out that some LED light bulbs cause interference with the opener and so I went back to the incandescent bulbs and the Opener worked like normal, I guess some CFL's will work also. I went online and found out that Genie makes LED bulbs that have shielding so as not to cause that kind of interference, I also checked online and found another company that makes LED bulbs for the Garage Door Opener but they are very expensive. I just thought if anybody had put LED's in their openers and they started having this trouble now they know it is the bulbs, not the battery or the remote.

@TightWadDIY 5 жыл бұрын

Robert Klein I’m glad you discovered your issue. I actually have a video discussing the issue with LED bulbs and even have a follow up recommending the Genie bulbs. Thanks for sharing that information here as well. People like you make the KZfaq community even more valuable.
