I will start by saying thank you in advance for the help and guidance and that I have searched numerous websites and still cannot find the answers. I also made a visit to my local Sears store and they were not able to help me. I was told based on the 3 button design of my remote I had a 7 or 9 slider pin model garage door opener at home.
I am attempting to program a new remote for my grandmother who has a Craftsman Garage Door Opener. It is misplaced frequently so having a spare seems prudent. The model number of the garage door opener itself is 139.655000 and it at least 20 years old if not older.( I found a pdf of the manual online which is how I know the receiver and remote have been replaced.) It would appear the wall mounted transmitting unit failed and it was replaced with a Craftsman Universal Receiver Model # 139.53755. It has a green LED light but does not have the green learn button that is referenced in the Craftsman Owner's Manuals that I have found on line. All of these manuals reference and show a picture of a SRT button which is not on the back or sides of the universal receiver. I took it apart and it does not have the 7 or 9 slider pins that are found in the older models. A newer style remote (the only one I have) with a green LED light has a model # 139.53779. I also took the remote apart just to make sure it did not have the slider pins inside of it.
My question is how do I program the new remote to work with this system?
The only thought I have at this point is there is a hole on the side of the Universal Receiver that looks like some sort of reset button. I am leery of trying this to see what happens as the safest way for my grandmother to enter and exit the house is through the inner door to the garage and then out the overhead garage door.
Thanks again for sharing your guidance and wisdom.
