Overhead Garage Door Remote Replacement
Overhead garage door openers are a convenient way to open and close your garage door without having to get out of your car. However, if your remote stops working, it can be a major inconvenience. Replacing an overhead garage door remote is a relatively simple task that you can do yourself with a few tools.
### Tools You Will Need * New overhead garage door remote * Screwdriver * Ladder * Step stool ### Step-by-Step Instructions1. Safety First
Before you begin, make sure that the garage door is in the closed position and that the power to the opener is turned off. This will help to prevent any accidents.
2. Locate the Remote Control Receiver
The remote control receiver is usually located on the ceiling of the garage, near the garage door opener. It is a small box with a wire antenna. Make sure that the power to the receiver is turned on.
3. Remove the Old Remote
Locate the release button on the remote. It is usually a small, black button located on the side or back of the remote. Press the button and pull the remote straight down to detach it from the visor clip. Some remotes store the visor clip inside the remote; if so, gently slide the visor clip out and detach the remote.
4. Program the New Remote
Most overhead garage door remotes come pre-programmed, but if yours does not, you will need to program it yourself. To do so, follow the instructions that came with the remote.
5. Install the New Remote
Once the remote is programmed, install it on the visor clip. Some remotes store the visor clip inside the remote; if so, insert the remote into the visor clip and slide it shut.
6. Test the Remote
With the garage door still in the closed position, stand about 15 feet away from the garage door and press the button on the remote. The garage door should open. If it does not, check the connections and try again.
### Troubleshooting *The remote does not work.
Make sure that the power to the receiver is turned on. Check the batteries in the remote. If the batteries are good, try reprogramming the remote. *The garage door opens but does not close.
The safety sensors may be misaligned. Check the alignment of the sensors and make sure that there are no obstructions in the path of the sensors. *The garage door opens and closes but then stops.
