Resetting keypad for Sears garage door opener

18 years ago

My daughter recently bought a house from a deceased owner. It has a Sears model 139.53415SR garage door opener (circa 1991) with a remote keypad mounted outside. The keypad uses a 9V battery.

How can I reset the keypad code without knowing the original code?

Thanks,

I'm not sure if that model had dip switches or not. Can you tell? If it has dip switches, you would set the dips at the opener motor and the dips in the control outside to the same setting.

On the back of the motor unit near where all those white wires go you will find a button. Press and immediately release that button and then walk over to the keypad and key in any 4 digit PIN of your choice and press enter. This should get you goint.

Keypad and remote control to my GDO have been operating fine. Then today when I tried to close my GDO with my remote it would not work. I tried the one in my wife's car and it would not close the door either. So, I got out and attempted to use the remote pad and it would not operate. Both were purchased about a year and half ago and installed at the same time. What could the problem be that would stop them from opening my GDO?

chicat2001 - You will find a button (smart/learn) just to the left of where all those white wires go. Press and hold it for 6 seconds. This will erase the memory in the opener and your remote should no longer work. Now press and hold the large button on your remote and then press and immediately release the smart/learn button. Your unit is now reprogrammed. jbenford - Check for a broken spring on your door or remove the cover of the opener and check the drive gear. It is a white nylon gear just in front of the motor.

I would make sure all the connections are tight. Check the two connections on the rear of the wall control. If they check out I think you would be ahead to replace that unit.

I just bought a house with a 15-year-old garage door opener (139.53415SR). I was able to reset the keyless entry, but now cannot program my own code in.

From reading other posts, I have gone up and pressed a yellow button on the back of the motor unit and then punched in a 4-digit code. This, however, has not worked.

Any ideas?
