garage door keypad code... how do I reset it? I have a craftsman
SOURCE: keypad garage door opener will not operate
what keypad are you using with new opener? Frequency has changed. can't use old one. you probably never needed to change things; just needed to follow proper coding procedures.
SOURCE: garage door pad
You need to press and release the learn botton (don't hold it or you will clear all the codes)
If the light bulb(s) on your operator are on the front and/or back, the learn botton is on the back of the operator. If the lights are on the sides of the operator then the learn botton is on the right side (looking from the back of the operator and facing the garage door).
After you press the learn button you have about 30 seconds to press in the new 4 digit code in your key pad then hold the enter button until the light on the operator blinks (about 2 seconds). If this does not work check the battery and try it again.
SOURCE: Chamberlain garage door opener unit-is it compatible with craftsman keypad?
Hello,Linda well this is your lucky day ,I have installed garage door openers for sears for 10 years and i can tell you that craftsman,chamberlain ,and liftmaster are all the same machine and manufactured under the liftmaster name , if you buy it from home depot it will be a chamberlain ,if you buy it at sears ,it will be a craftsman, and if you go to commercial building supplier it will be a liftmaster! now getting that out of the way even though they are all compatible ,there is one thing that stands in their way and that,s time ,For example if your chamberlain machine is 5 years old and you went to sears last week ,the chances of the frequency being the same are not good , most likely you have the wireless keypad , one way to test the sears keypad against the chamberlain machine is to locate the smart button on your machine ,this button allows for programming of remotes and keypads , to test and see exactly what im talking about take your remote and locate the smart button ,if you have three buttons on the remote press one of the buttons that are not being used on the remote ,above the smart button their will be a blinking light ,if you press your remote button you will notice the light go from a blink to a rapid flash , This is telling you that you are sending a signal for programming to the machine , well the keypad is exactly the same all you have to do is push the enter button on the keypad and have someone watch for the rapid blinking light ,if they are compatible the light will blink rapidly on the machine so all you have to do now is have someone press the smart button once on the machine your indicator light will now be a solid light you will have approx 60 seconds then to put a 4 digit code in the keypad and then press and hold down the enter button on the keypad , at this point you will notice the lightbulbs on the chamberlain machine to shut off and come back on this is to tell you that the machine accepted the code , after thats been done you can use your keypad , you can also find the owners manual to the chamberlain and follow the same instructions to programming the remote , they are identical in programing , if your keypad is not the same frequency you can also tell by looking at the frequency code on the backside of the keypad and also the chamberlain unit usually where the light bulb is will be its code

simple , i was a sears installer for 10 years installing garage door openers so your in luck , just locate the smart button on the machine ,it would be on the back or if your looking from the back at the back ,it could also be on the right side depending on if the machine is a sideways mounted machine or frontmount, after locating this button which maybe green/orange /or purple in color also depending on your model ,the newest sears machines are purple buttons ,and 5 years ago they were orange and the older ones would be green ,...ok so after you,ve located it just push it once and you will see a solid yellow indicator light come on , now go over to the keypad and put your 4 digit personal code in after that press the enter button AND HOLD IT for around 3 seconds , at that time you will see the lightbulbs on the machine go off and then click back on , and THAT,S IT! plain and simple , now go proramm your remote! hope i was of help to you , and if i was leave me a nice rating Sincerely Glenn mayer
Locate
the smart/learn button on the rear of the motor unit near where all
those white wires go. Press and immediately release this and then
walk over to the keypad and key in any 4 digit code you like and
press enter.
If it is hardwired do this:
To program the keypad,
first unplug the garage door opener from the electrical outlet. Next,
remove the nameplate from the console that the keypad plugs into and
locate the program/operate switch. Flip the switch to program. Next,
enter your desired four-digit PIN number into the keypad. Slide the
switch back to operate and plug the garage door opener back in. The
keypad should be programmed.

Ok so I am in Canada and I bought this used Craftsman remote keypad that you install on the side of your garage door on the outside of your house. I assumed that as long as the keypad brand was Craftsman, Liftmaster, Chamberlain or Wayne dalton, that any keypad of these brands would work with any of these brands of garage door openers. WRONG!! I spent $40.00 for a used keypad only to find out that it is not compatible. So to avoid you all from making the same mistake...here is what I learned or know now. First off it is very important to try to find out what colour the square plastic learn button on the actual garage door motor was that the remote keypad you are looking to buy , was used with. It is also a good idea to find out what the FCC ID # is on the back of the remote keypad you are looking to buy.Once you have the FCC ID# for example mine was FCC ID# HBW1631. You can type into Google searchbox "FCC ID# Lookup" and that will take you to the FCC's website. If a search box does not automatically pop up, you scroll on the left side of the page and look for "FCC ID Search". A box pops up. The first box is called "Grantee Code (first 3 to 5 characters)...mine was HBW. The second box underneath is called "Product Code (remaining characters of the FCC ID#).......mine was 1631. Hit search and a result should pop up, In that result you see a lot of info but at the far right you will see the lower and upper frequency range of your remote keypad you are either selling or planning to buy. Mine was 315MHz upper and lower range. So that means that my remote keypad will only work with garage door motors that operate on or between a lower and upper range of frequencies that include 315MHz. Now we have to find out what frequency the garage door motor is. If you are buying the remote keypad....as the seller what colour the Learn Button is on the garage door motor. For my remote keypad I bought, it worked with a Green or Purple Learn Button on the motor. So the keypad I bought would not work with my motor with a red learn button. To find out what frequency your garage door motor operates at, you can either call customer service for the brand you own and give them the model number.Or Google the model number to search what frequency the motor operates at. Try this site: https://support.chamberlaingroup.com/s/a...
I just called Chamberlain customer service and they told me my motor is 390MHz. So now I know the frequency range my garage door motor operates within, I can look for used remote keypads, ask the seller what the FCC ID# is, then type it into the FCC ID Search Lookup website to see if the remote keypad frequency falls within the operating frequency range of the garage Door Motor. Hope that helps a bit guys and gals. Kev
