To program a Chamberlain garage door opener without a remote, you will need to use the control box inside your garage. Follow these steps to successfully program your opener:
1. Locate the control box: The control box is usually mounted on the ceiling or wall inside your garage. It should be in close proximity to your garage door opener motor.
2. Look for the programming button: On the control box, you should find a button labeled ‘learn’, ‘program’, or ‘smart’. This button is used to initiate the programming process.
3. Press the programming button: Once you have located the programming button, press and hold it for a few seconds. This action activates the programming mode on your Chamberlain garage door opener.
4. Go back to your car: After pressing the programming button, quickly exit the garage and return to your car. You need to be near the car’s remote control panel to complete the programming process.
5. Press the replacement button: With about 30 seconds to complete this step, find the replacement button on your car’s remote control panel. This button will now function as the new programmed button for your Chamberlain garage door opener.
6. Press and hold the replacement button: Once you have identified the replacement button, press and hold it for a few seconds. This action sends a signal to your Chamberlain opener, pairing it with the new button.
7. Test the programming: To ensure successful programming, test the replacement button by pressing it once. Your Chamberlain garage door opener should respond by opening or closing the garage door.
8. Repeat if necessary: If the programming did not work on the first attempt, repeat the steps starting from pressing the programming button on the control box. Make sure to complete the process within the given time frame to avoid starting from scratch.
By following these steps, you should be able to program your Chamberlain garage door opener without a remote. Remember to consult your specific model’s manual for any additional instructions or troubleshooting tips.
