I just installed it yesterday, the chan spreder was by itself in a plastic package and the 2 bolts/screws were sealed in the corned of the same package, easy to miss but there, they were not in the main parts bag with theo other bolt, scre, nuts
I'm so glad I saw your comment. I came to RUclips because this frustrated me for an hour. Never saw those bolts until you mentioned they were in the bag with the spreader. Thank you!
Literally the most helpful comment I have ever seen on youtube. Saved me so much time and energy. Thanks!
came here because i was stuck here thank you so much
I installed one today and couldnt find the screws. I finally did and watching this video after the fact.
The chain spreader screws were screwed into the unit itself.
I took a chance and removed them and then installed the spreader.
Your video is top notch.
Thanks
Strange my screws for the Chain spreader where in the holes on the motor
just like the rail mount bolts.
Excellent video. My booklet was missing. I would like to suggest investing in a tripod for future videos. Keep up the good work.
very good video! Very happy you don't use strange background music! Much easier to follow! This is great because you talk to us like we are there with you and you are showing us!
Thank you for all the details. My instructions walked away, and I can't find them. Somebody they will come back.
Many many thanks to the guys below whose comment helped me find those crazy spreader screws sealed in corner of spreader bag. I missed that. Saved me a long ride to town. I had given up on 'em.
Thanks for the video....very well explained.
was missing the same bolts for the chain spreader. used the cover bolts off my old craftsman. worked perfect.
Thank you for the video…really simplified the install.
awesome! Glad I could help.... I love this garage opener / app...
Great video. Thank you so much for posting it.
Chainspreader screws were in the same bag as the chainspreader itself. They are not with the other screws.
The chain spread missing screws had me stumped too until I noticed them sealed separately in the coner of the hardware bag. Very easy to miss.
THE CHAIN SPREADER HEX SCREWS ARE SEALED IN THE CORNER OF THE BAG THAT THE CHAIN SPREADER CAME IN. THEY ARE NOT IN THE BAG WITH THE REST OF THE HARDWARE.
Just finished mine and came to edit my comment so that it might help someone. My screws for the chain spreader were screwed into the opener itself. Also mine would not open pressing the button and only made a clicking sound twice and the lights would flash. After doing some reading this was due to a safety full open close procedure that needs to be done before the button will work not found in this video that I saw. there is an up arrow and a down arrow and a square middle button. Press the middle button until the up arrow flashes. Then hold down the up arrow until the door is in the full open position that you want. Then press the middle button again then the down arrow will flash. Hold the down arrow until the door fully closes to exactly where you want it when in the closed position. I think you press the middle button one more quick time and its done. You should now be able to press the button on the control panel to operate the door as this is some kind of safety feature. I guess.
Thanks, about aligning the holes on the same side.
My chain spreader is different than yours and looks different in the manual. Mine was made March 2024. It has bolts in the unit that I can take out and reuse. The spreader is more of a sprocket cover than anything else.
Why is there so much cable, almost as much as there is chain? I can't get the chain to go around the sprocket, there is just not enough. Only if I shorten the rail, but then the rail would be too short!!!
Great info I installed one today, doing testing pulley broke 😢 need to remplace, question? Why dooor going down will drop it hard ?
there must be some spring "system" that prevents the door from slamming... it probably needs to be readjusted
Did you propgram the outside battery remote pinpad ? I installed one of these openers about 2-3 weeks ago and it came out great..I followed the instructions that came with the remote keypad in its own seperate package and seems to have worked ok..I was outside the other night and thought I would just push the enter button on keypad to see how bright the keypads light is and the garage door opened..I did not enter the 4 digit pin # I had supposedly programmed into it.. any idea(s) ? I have checked and also tried a new battery and did the sequence again and it's the same.
I just bought the identical garage door opener, installed it, could not get the garage door to work in either direction. I had power, and lights and safety sensors installed, remotes came preprogrammed, still nothing, took the garage door back ,exchanged it and got another one ,installed it and identical problem! Any suggestions? 🤔
how to configure the craftsman garage door opener for the model CMXEOCG 472 my Q
I just installed this garage door opener, I did find the two screws for the chain spreader, they came in the same bag as the spreader
Did the video help?
I just bought one yesterday and those dumb screws were missing. Pain in the rear
I am currently working on installing this right at this moment. The screws are indeed in the same bag as the spreader but they are sealed off in a little corner of the bag. Took me a hot minute to realize that.
THIS IS THE COMMENT I CAME TO LOOK FOR. THANK YOU!
The screws are in the bag. They are sealed off in the corner
The missing screws are in the plastic bag with the part. It's very easy to miss and throw away in the trash.
That is my favorite lock on the garage door
Lock?
Yes because my grandma had a wood garage door with the same lock
I had the same problem and I went back and looked through everything twice and could not find the screws
Never show hoe to program. Everyone I look at including you never show the up and down programming
I’m about to install this exact one.
Any issues or anything you would do differently after using it.
Thanks for the video.
So far, I've been very happy with it... love the app! I wish it would work with Google home or Amazon without monthly charge
@@CarsandEspresso 😎👍
Does the red stripe go in to red spot and white wire into white one?
Just installed one did everything according to the book and watched your video but my motor blinks 2 times…any ideas?
move your door sensors around
Same thing happened to me today when installing, motor wouldn’t work. You have to manually program it from the motor. I left a detailed instruction on how I did mines in Omar’s comment below 👇
the screws were in the package with the chain spreader
nope
If a part is not listed in the "Parts List" the Manufacturer hasn't done their job correctly and multiple consumers like this poor gentlemen will continue to get confused and frustrated. How do you know that the screws in the "Chain Spreader" packing go with the Chain Spreader? ASSuming are we? Are they 8-32x7/16" - NO!
Maybe the instructions should be reviewed by the Engineers...
Note Instruction #6 from Assembly Step 2 - Attach chain spreader to the motor unit with two screws...Which screws? Who knows, maybe its the two screws not listed in the parts list and who knows there size? LOL!
My screws are in the unit itself. Also, my chain spreader is more of a cover.
Hey I just installed the same opener and when I try to open for the first time it just makes 3 clicking sounds. Any idea what it might be? Thanks for all the info.
ur sensors... it thinks something is in the way...
@@CarsandEspresso yeah I played with them for awhile but no luck. I tried what another guy posted here with the arrows and it fixed it. Thanks again
@@jimmysoto9617 Glad I could help... I really like this garage door opener! Love the app!
How do I fix this?
How do the sensors wire
So does this unit not have motion activated lights or is mi e just not working. I replaced my chamberlain which the lights come-on when I walk into the garage if the doors already open. No if I'm coming in I have to have a flashlight to get to the button on the wall.
I don't think it has a motion sensor... if you break the door sensor's line of sight, the lights will come on...
I missing those screws for the chain spreader too. Ridiculous. Wasted a lot of time. Now My issue is the door wont close and the open for the wall does not doing anything. The door acts like something is blocking the sensors.
Yes, I had the same problem.... the sensors aren't aligned well... I kept messing with them until it worked... and for a while, I could swear the shadows on the sensor were messing with it... but it went away... good luck
@@CarsandEspresso you were right. Sensors were misaligned about 1/4 inch. After I got them more zeroed in, it worked fine. I think craftsman should fixed the missing screw issue. It's a known issue. They have gone downhill in my opinion and experience.
The chain spreader came in it’s own plastic bag. The screws were in the corner of the bag sealed in.
It’s not the fucking sensors I’m literally holding them together and the lights are not blinking and steady like they are supposed to and this shit still won’t go up
I had the same issue today when installing mines. Motor wouldn’t work when pressing the button. After playing around with it for hours I finally figured out I had to manually program it first at the motor.
On the motor
Press the program button which is located in the middle of the arrows then the top arrow should light up. Then press and hold the top arrow till your desired hight that you want your door to stop then let go of the button. Then press the program button again then the bottom arrow will light up then press and hold the bottom arrow till your garage door is completely closed then let go of the button. Then press the program button again, it should start beeping and it will automatically go up then down. After that my motor finally worked when pressing the garage door opener.
Craftsman should be embarrassed by their horrible printed assembly manual...worst ever
can't argue there! Yup
I didn't want to see belt drive
This is chain drive.
I bought the very same exact opener and had the same problem with the chain spreader too. So I just used self-taping screws like you and moved forward !
Your little screws you were missing are in the Same bag 32 7/8 screws are in the corner of the bag separate compartment as black guide
nope...
Correct I couldn’t find them either, just found them in the chain separator bag. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks
