Occasionally, you will have to reset your garage door opener remote or sync your opener to a new remote. To do this you will want to know what the Learn button on your garage door opener is and how to find it. The team here at Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Seattle, WA has the information you need to know about the button and where to find it.
What is The Learn Button on Your Garage Door Opener?
The learn button is located on your garage door opener and is used to program new and old remotes, wall mounts, and keypads. It is also used to clear the memory of the opener. Clearing it will wipe out communication with all previously paired devices.
Depending on the make and model opener you have, the button could be either:
- Red/orange
- Green
- Purple
- Yellow
Each color has its own set of instructions on how to program new devices to the opener. You will need to look at the owner’s’ manual to get the specific instructions for your button.
Where is the Button Located on The Opener
The button is on your opener right above the antenna wire. That wire hangs above the motor head. Some models have the button located on the back of the unit. Others are located on the side. If you have a light on the back of your opener, the button will be underneath the light cover.
How to Open the Light Cover
To access a button that is located under the light cover, you will need to unhook the cover. Most of the time, the cover will hang from the opener on a hinge while it is open. On some units, the cover may come all the way off.
To open the light cover, you will need to locate the two buttons on either side of the cover. Press the buttons in to release the cover.
Use the Learn Button to Program New Devices
Once you find the button on your opener, you can use it to program new devices. If you get a new remote, install a wireless keypad, or wall mount, you will need to pair the two together.
Your opener should have LED indicator lights to communicate to you while you are programming the new devices. When you clear the memory on the opener, the LED will light up and stay that way for 30 seconds. Once it goes off, you know the unit is cleared out. Then you will need to push the learn button again to program it to the new devices.
