I learned that I must wear safety glasses and gloves to change the battery!!! Wow.
😅
We watched probably 50 videos. This was the first one that talked about checking the buttons to see if the light came on. BINGO! one side of the panel was dead and that's why we couldn't reprogram the keypad.
Say what you will about the gloves and safety glasses, this guy helped!!!
Nice video - i took mine apart and cleaned the contacts which helps too. Thats what I was hoping you were going to demonstrate instead of just buying a whole new unit. Better to take the unit inside and in a dark area where you can see the keys light up too.
I am all about safety too but there is absolutely nothing in this video that requires gloves or eyewear for safety. Thanks for posting
Your right he looks like he's ready to clean a public toilet or something.
@@portagepete1 - I’m a no glove guy. I’m a no mask guy now too. Nothing is more annoying than seeing people that are obsessive about gloves when working on their car. The only thing more annoying is seeing someone walk down the street by themselves with their mask on. I mean seriously when is this gonna end?
Demostration was easy to understand and directions worked to replace the battery. Thank you!
Watched a bunch of different videos that couldn’t give me the answer. Turns out it was the left side of the keypad that was not functioning. Changed the code to numbers on the right side of the keypad and voilà - worked like a charm. Thank you for the video!
This is the second video I watched and the first one that fixed the problem. Some of the buttons didn't work, unbeknownst to me. This video had me step through all the numbers to see which didn't work. Good choice. Thanks very much.
I saved $79 + tax because I didn't need to buy a new key pad. Problem was a dead number key. I cleaned the unit and reprogrammed with a new 4 digit code. Works like new! Thanks.
Came home from and event this afternoon, and the keypad would not work. Borrowed a brand new battery from my neighbor still no go. After multiple attempts door finally opened. I found this video and immediately discovered on my keypad The zero button did not work. Changed my pin and all is well. Thanks for the fix! Saved me $40 for a new one.
The dead buttons was the fix on this. Keypad had two dead numbers. No other video's mentioned this fix. Thank you so much. You saved me $90 to buy a replacement
I watched 5 videos on this subject. Yours is the best and actually had the answers I needed. Thank you sir! Good job!
Hi and thanks for watching! I am glad the video helped!
Same here! Thanks!
Great video ! Straight to the point !
Has anybody ever seen “what we do in the shadows”? I’m certain this guy is an energy vampire.
Out here doing Gods work! Thank you sir !!
Very helpful . Thank you.
Very detailed and helpful, Thank you!
Thank you Todd. Very helpful.
3:10 keypad button check is what helped me figure out what was wrong. Thank you
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
I suspected it was my battery, but I wanted to watch a fix-it video just in case I’m glad I did because you had mentioned after changing the battery test the keypad to make sure that it lights up and while the old battery was still good, the keypad was not lighting up so after changing the battery, everything worked fine so that was a good instructional tip to make sure that the keypad lights up after you change out the battery. So while the old battery was still had some charge, it wasn’t enough to activate the keyboard or the remote sensor so changing out the battery fixed my issue.
You just saved us!!! We hadn’t even considered that a number might be dead. It worked and now we’re back in business without buying a new keypad. Thanks!!!
How did you get the affected number to work with having to change out the whole keypad?
My keypad stopped working and this video had the answer to my problem. It's a great help to solve the problem. Excellently done.
excellent!!! Saved my day!! Much appreciated
Awesome dude thank you very much! Most all the other ones on RUclips don’t show that you have to push the keypad individually to see if it works! Dummy me I should’ve checked that in the first place! Thank you very much
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you! Your keypad number check is what did the trick. One of the numbers wasn't lighting up. Problem solved!
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video was helpful!
Great video. Allowed me to troubleshoot and determine half my buttons no longer work. Which is why I have not been able to put door down using keypad.
Spent half a day trying to program a pin and after watching this video I figured out the 5 was overused and didn't work😂😂,
Ha! My 1 button on the keypad was faulty (suddenly) - I changed my code and voila - works!! Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
thank you so much for this video ! your solution worked for me. have a blessed week.
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
Good video and great focus on the safety aspect,too!
So easy, thank you!
Thanks for watching, I am glad the video helped!
Very helpful video! Thanks Todd.
Hey Todd! Appreciate this amazing video! One of the buttons on my keypad wasn’t working so we just used a different combination and it WORKED!!! 🎉 Thank you!!! 🙏🏾
Great video. You helped me out.
Hi, my garage door keypad is not working .when I put on the any key, the light is flashing. Also, every time when I open the door with any other garage remote control unit first, it will works, But every time when I come home, the garage door keypad doesn't work.
Quick question, for mine the battery was replaced very recently (and checked), the keypad also lights up at least for every number of the code, and yet it still will not open the garage.
Is there anything else I could check it try to attempt to fix it? Portable garage openers do work if that adds anything
I’m going through the same thing. It’s so strange. Remote works just fine, but it will not open with the keypad. Wth? No one seems to have an answer for this. So strange & incredibly annoying, as we only have one remote!
@@nunyabidnazz2311 i recommend getting multiple remotes, mine seems to be temperature related?? when its too cold it responds less than when its warm
Thanks Sir! the keypad was the problem. Somehow "2" was our favorite key, and it does not work anymore. You saved the day !
Thanks for the video!! I have looked and looked and found nothing on the problem I am having .. I changed the battery but keypad will not work -- I hit a button and rather than backlit I get blinking red Led's -- I am clueless on what happened -- I rarely use it -- Is it in a locked mode? Somehow got disabled or a code changed? No matter what I press -- Red Led's -- Did it just go bad and need to be replaced? Thanks for your advice, and great job on the video!
Did you figure it out? Ours doing the same thing
thank you! easy fix, duh, needed new battery. but i would not have known this had i not found this video!!!
Todd my Chamberline key pad only works to put the garage door down but doesn't work to open it. I put a new battery. Nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas
Really helpful video Thanks
Hi, Todd! My keypad started working sporadically a few days ago. This morning when it didn't work, I used my garage door app on my phone to close and open the door. When I closed the door with the app, I noticed that the opener unit on the ceiling of the garage beeped for a few seconds and the light flashed during the beeping, and then the door closed. Any ideas on what all that means? BTW, thank you for your easy-to-follow instructions!
Thank you so much for this video!
Great! I’ll do this. Easy breezy.
Very informative and thorough! Thank you, Todd!! You're the best!
Thanks for the video.
My keypad close function by just hitting ENTER stopped working. I have to type in my code to close it. I held 1 & 9 until the lights blink (4 blinks to deactivate the close function, 2 blinks to activate) and still did not reset or fix.
Any suggestions?
Why would it break though? We have not had ours long and it seems to need to be replaced already. Is it worth replacing?
I just replaced a craftsman door opener with a chamberlin. I have a craftsman 315 keypad (year 2013) that works perfectly but I can't get it to do anything with the chamberlain. Are they not cross compatible?
Thank you for the video. While testing the keys on the keypad, all the numbers, * and # buttons light up the keypad as expected. However, the 'Enter' button does not light up the keypad, does it mean I need to replace the keypad? or is does the Enter button not light up the keypad?
Good question !
Excellent, direct, clear.
Thank you! I was able to fix my issue thanks to your video!!
Hi Todd, I recently replaced the battery in my liftmaster and now when the garage door is open and I hit the "Enter" button, it no longer closes unless I type the code in first. I know before replacing the battery I could just hit the "Enter" button and the garage door would close. Do you happen to know how to resolve this? Thanks!
Leigh M. I have experienced the same thing on my keypad. I replaced the batteries and it will no longer close when hitting the enter button alone. Sometimes I had to hit it twice and it would close, no code needed. Now if I open the door by the keypad, and when the keypad is still flashing it will close just by hitting enter. But once the keypad stops flashing it no longer works by just hitting enter. I see there has been no responses on a fix or an reason why this did it. If you gotten a response any other way please let us know. Thank You in advance.
I have the same problem, I can’t close the door without punching in the code. Sometimes I have to press the close button 2 sometimes 3 times after punching in the code before it will close.
did you all ever figure out what causes this issue?
Is it possible your using a different model number keypad (style)than the one you replaced?
Hey thanks for the vid. Mine only doesn’t work in the cold. What would u suggest?
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure why it wouldn't work in the cold. Have you tried replacing the batteries yet?
mine is the same if its -30 or -35 it doesnt work but then it works the next day when its -5 or -10
I think it's battery issue. Cold temperature can decrease the power of a battery. Did you try alkaline battery? if you did, did you try lithium ion battery (about the most power one, but expensive)? If you also did, then I don't know what else you can do!
@@stevec9669 thanks steve!!
Kind of an off question. But, will my Chamberlian wall keypad (940EV-P2) open my Liftmaster 81602 garage door during a power outage? The garage opener has a battery back up installed - but wasn't too sure if or how the keypad and the opener will work together in the event of a power outage? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot find any info regarding this...
Thanks!
On my not sure what it is I program the key pad n working normally for a few days then stop working I had to reveal it again then working but repeat it self the whole unit is new . My option is try new battery n see what do u think ?
Thanks for show that !!
I discovered that one of my battery wires had come loose from the circuit board. The only way to get to the circuit board is to take the back off. That's the hard part. I used a thin blade and worked my way around the back until the back pops off. I don't think the back is supposed to ever come off but it's possible. I then soldered the loose wire to the circuit board, reassembled and all is well now. You need patience to do what I did. It's a PITA
Peter - same happened to ours. As you indicated, getting the back off was challenging -- thanks for the suggestion and tip about using a thin blade -- took me several minutes but I eventually released the back and found the red wire disconnected. Also found corrosion on the board and cleaned with CRC electrical cleaner and soldered on red wire. Our keypad was pretty beat up by Hurricane Ian.
@@VirginiaSRQ yes you need the patience of Job to get the back off. Very sturdy construction
At the beginning of your video you said you would also show us how to fix a keypad that is not closing the garage door. My new keypad is programmed and opens the door, but does not close it. The sensors are aligned and the other remotes and hardwire controls do close the door.
Thank you so much!!
thanks so much..got it fixed with a new battery
Nice video thanks!
I think there is something inside the motor keeping it from receiving the code the light will not flash on the motor after entering the code but the remotes work great and the sensors are lined up! what can I look for inside the motor to make it accept the key code? THanks
Thank You Todd !!!!!!!
Was it too much trouble to paint the wood behind the keypad?
wonderful video. thanks you7 saved me $100, You told me how to check which keys were not working......turns out all of them except for 4
Great video but I need the video on changing the code on the pinpad. It worked the first time I changed it and then the next day it wasn't working anymore. So how do I clear it and start fresh?
Hey there we’ve had our garage pad for a few years but we’re actually struggling with taking the keypad OFF to change the battery. Any tips on how to do that? No amount of pressure or thumb power is enabling us to take off the cap as easily as it’s showing in the video 😅 please help! I’m looking at the video at 2:22
What’s it mean when the led light behind the keypad is red
Flathead screwdriver & elbow grease!😄
Hello sir
Maybe you can help me
My garage door control opener and wall opener work well
My pad is the only one that doesn’t work
Replaced the battery but all it does is lights around the numbers don’t turn on at times and other times they just keep blinking
Any idea? Maybe I need to replace the pad itself
Thanks in advance
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure what might be wrong with the keypad. Sorry I can't be more help. I hope you are able to get it fixed.
I have a brand new keypad and brand new battery. It only works if i remove it from the house and get really close to the opener, inside the garage. Any ideas?
Great video
nice call on the numbers not working. That was my problem. Thanks!!
Not sure if I missed it. But what if I enter my code and press enter but then the garage only opens a couple of inches and either stays or closes again.
Thank you Sir
Thanks a lot.
I have a question. We changed the code on our keypad for a craftsman opener and now the remotes won’t work unless very close up and the keypad won’t hold a code. You put a new code in and it works for a minute then it doesn’t work
What could be the issue??
Thank u
brillant - 1 and 2 buttons dont work that why I couldn't set the code - thank you is much !!!
I have a question I replaced it the keypad everything is working but I have no back lights on the keypad after it's programmed
Thanks a lot
Forgot hard hat
Hi can you please show us how to erase all previous pin codes from keypad, my keypad adds new pin and also keep working on old pins.
Thank you!
Turned out my third button in 4 digit code wasnt working! Thanks for the tip!
Gotta be protected! Scary stuff 😂
Thanks for the video. My keypad works fine opening but can’t close. New battery doesn’t help. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Thanks for watching. Does your remote still close the garage door? Does the button by the door into your house still close the garage door?
@@ToddsGarage actually my previous statement was not very accurate. After a thorough testing, here is the problem: the button by the door works all the time. The keypad and remote work (both open and close) when the opener light is off. It can't close when the light is on. After a waiting of ~5 min until the light went off, the door could be closed by both keypad and remote. The bulb is incandescent and has worked fine for 10 years.
@@duludili7833 that is strange that you have to wait for the light to go off before the garage door will close. I am not sure, the only thing I would check would be the safety sensors to make sure they are aligned. I have a video showing how I aligned our safety sensors when we were having issues with the garage closing if you want to check it out. Our garage would close intermittently. You might need to call a garage repair company to help figure that one out. Good luck and be safe and hope you get it fixed. Let me know what happens.
@@ToddsGarage The sensors are aligned. I guess I may have to replace the logic board. Thanks though for the prompt response!
@@duludili7833 thanks for watching, I appriciate it!
U are awesome!
thank you
Thx!
Thanks mandark!
What about a key pad that loses it's code every week? I have to keep reprogramming it.
Thanks wish me luck 🙏 😅
My keypad stops working shortly after i replace the batteries. Works fine initially after replacement. Do you have any suggestions?
Additional all buttons light up after battery replacement.
hey buddy so my contol panel closes the garage door when you hit the enter button but when I punch in my 4 digit code then enter but doesn't open the garage any help would be appreciated
Hi and thanks for watching! I am not sure unfortunately. Did you recently change the battery or pin code on the keypad?
@@ToddsGarage I got it to work again thx again for replying have a good day
Explained very very nicely, thanks so much.
I need to know how to replace a broken red wire. Can it be done??
My key pad doesn’t have an enter button only # and star buttons so how can a pair to the motor
My key pad wasn't lighting up at all. I removed the battery and reinstalled the same battery and it worked again... for a little while then stopped lighting up again. This time I flipped the battery so it lays on the its other side and now it keeps working!
Is it possible to take the keypad apart and see what has failed, and fix it?
You showed us how to replace the battery. That's it... Most people know this already.
All my buttons light up the pad. I can close using the enter button. But it will no longer open using the 4 digit code. I tried programming a new code, the unit accepted it but still won’t open. Any ideas?
What if I don't have any Nitrate Gloves, can I still do a job like this?
