Chamberlain Garage Door Opener Remote Control Transmitters

Q: How do I know which Chamberlain remote will work with my opener?

Check the color of the Learn button on your opener’s motor unit. Orange/amber or purple buttons use Security+ rolling code remotes, while older dip switch models require a compatible fixed code remote.

Q: How do I program a Chamberlain remote?

Press and release the Learn button on your opener, then press the button on your new remote. The opener light will blink or click to confirm programming.

Chamberlain garage door openers have used different radio systems over the years, which means not all remotes are cross-compatible. The easiest way to determine the correct replacement remote is to check the “Learn” button color on your opener’s power head (located under the light cover). Chamberlain openers that use rolling code Security+ technology will have orange/amber or purple Learn buttons, while older models may use dip switch remotes.
