In order to reset your garage door opener usually follow these steps:
Find the ‘Learn’ or ‘Reset’ button on your garage door opener which is typically found on the back side of the opener.
Press and hold this button until the indicator light starts blinking which is indicating you’re in programming mode.
Release the button to reset the opener memory erasing all previous settings.
Now to reprogram your remote controls press the ‘Learn’ button again and then press the button on your remote till the opener light will blink confirming the remote is synced.
If you have a wall mounted keypad in order to program it repeat the same process.
Always refer to the opener manual for specific instructions!
Will unplugging a garage door opener reset it?
Unplugging a garage door opener from the power source does not reset or erase its internal memory or its programmed settings. This action simply cuts off the power and is useful for performing maintenance.
Do all garage door openers have a reset button?
Most modern garage door openers are equipped with a reset button which is usually labeled as a ‘Learn’ or ‘Reset’ button. It allows homeowners to reset and reprogram the opener and also the remote control.
The location of this button can vary between the different models and manufacturers but usually found on the back side of the motor. Some older models might not have a dedicated reset button and require a different reset process like unplugging the unit for a certain time. It’s highly recommended to read the user manual of your specific model for accurate resetting or reprogramming.
