Here are some additional tips for reprogramming your garage door opener:

Make sure that the new remote is compatible with your garage door opener.
The learn button on the opener may be located in a different spot depending on the model of the opener.
If the LED light on the opener does not stop flashing after you press the button on the new remote, it means that the opener did not learn the code from the remote.
You can erase all of the codes from the opener and reprogram all of the remotes at once by pressing and holding the learn button on the opener for 10 seconds.
