Here’s a guide from Houston Garage Door on how I would personally perform a factory reset on a Chamberlain garage door opener:

  1. Identify the Learn Button: First, I would locate the Learn button on the garage door opener motor unit. The placement of the button may vary depending on the model, but it is typically found on the back or side of the unit. The button is usually colored red, green, purple, or yellow for easy identification.
  2. Clear the Remote Controls: To begin the factory reset, I would press and hold the Learn button on the garage door opener until the indicator light next to it turns off. This action clears the memory of the opener, erasing all programmed remote controls and keypad codes.
  3. Reset the Keypad: If I have a wireless keypad, I know that I will need to reset it separately. I would locate the keypad and open the cover to access the battery compartment. Next, I would disconnect the battery and wait for approximately 30 seconds. This pause allows the keypad’s memory to clear. Afterward, I would reconnect the battery to complete the reset.
  4. Relearn the Remote Controls: After the factory reset, I would need to reprogram my remote controls. To initiate the reprogramming process, I would press the Learn button on the garage door opener once. This action activates the programming mode, indicated by an illuminated indicator light.
  5. Program the Remote Controls: Within 30 seconds of pressing the Learn button, I would press and hold the button on each remote control that I want to program. Holding the button until the indicator light on the opener blinks or the garage door moves confirms successful programming. I would repeat this step for each remote control I wish to reprogram.
  6. Test the Remote Controls: Once I have programmed all the desired remote controls, I would test their functionality. By pressing the buttons on the remotes, I can ensure that they are correctly synchronized with the garage door opener. Testing allows me to verify that the garage door opens and closes as intended when using the reprogrammed remote controls.

Please note that these steps are a general outline and the specific instructions may vary depending on your Chamberlain garage door opener model. It’s always advisable to consult the owner’s manual or manufacturer’s instructions for your particular model to ensure accuracy.

Overall, as stated in Houston Garage Door, if you encounter any difficulties during the factory reset process or if the issues you’re facing persist, it is recommended to reach out to Chamberlain’s customer support or consult a professional garage door technician. They can provide further guidance and assistance tailored to your specific garage door opener model and address any additional concerns you may have.
