Craftsman Learn Button Guide
The color of the learn button on the motor unit tells us the remote technology. Use a stable ladder, and do not open the motor housing.
| Learn button | Technology | What it tells us |
|---|---|---|
| Purple or brown | Security+ rolling code, 315 MHz | An older rolling code opener |
| Red or orange | Security+ rolling code, 390 MHz | An older rolling code opener |
| Yellow, round | Security+ 2.0 | A newer opener, often with smart features |
| Blue | 433 MHz | Not compatible with the myQ Garage or Smart Garage Hub |
From LiftMaster’s chart, which also covers Craftsman, and Chamberlain Group’s myQ list. Always check your manual too.
Common Craftsman Problems and Our Guides
Most Craftsman problems match one of these.
Remote or keypad not working
A dead battery, lock mode, or lost programming.
Door will not close
The photo eyes are the most common cause.
Humming but not opening
A stripped gear, a failed capacitor, or a spring problem.
Door reverses before closing
Where it reverses tells you the cause.
Beeping
Battery backup, a warning, or an obstruction.
Stops halfway
A door out of balance, settings, or a binding track.
Smart Features on Craftsman Openers
Chamberlain says the myQ Garage and Smart Garage Hub work with Craftsman openers made after 1993 that have a learn button. They do not work with 433 MHz openers, which have a blue learn button.
If your opener cannot take smart features, a replacement can add WiFi, a smart keypad, and a battery backup.
Before you add smart features
- Check the learn button color on the motor unit
- Check that the opener was made after 1993
- Have your WiFi name and password ready
- Ask us if a replacement makes more sense
Why Craftsman Openers Fail in Las Vegas
Heat
Las Vegas hit 120 degrees on July 7, 2024, according to the National Weather Service. Heat wears on boards, batteries, and gears.
Storms and surges
Monsoon storms run from late June into September. A surge can damage a circuit board or receiver.
Age and wear
Gears and boards wear out. Many openers last 10 to 15 years, according to House Digest.

Who makes Craftsman garage door openers?
Chamberlain Group’s support site groups Craftsman openers with Chamberlain and LiftMaster, and calls them Chamberlain manufactured units.
Can I use a Chamberlain or LiftMaster remote with my Craftsman opener?
Often, if the opener was made after 1993 and uses safety sensors, according to Chamberlain. Check the learn button color and your manual before you buy a remote. See our remote guide.
Does myQ work with my Craftsman opener?
Chamberlain says the myQ Garage and Smart Garage Hub work with Craftsman openers made after 1993 that have a learn button. They do not work with openers that use 433 MHz, which have a blue learn button.
What does my Craftsman learn button color mean?
It shows the remote technology, according to LiftMaster’s chart, which also covers Craftsman openers. Purple or brown is Security+ at 315 MHz, red or orange is Security+ at 390 MHz, and a round yellow button is Security+ 2.0.
Why is my Craftsman opener flashing and not closing?
Check the photo eyes and the Lock button first. On Chamberlain openers, ten flashes point to a sensor problem and two flashes mean Lock is on, according to Chamberlain. Codes can differ on Craftsman models, so check your manual.
How long does a Craftsman opener last?
Many openers last 10 to 15 years, according to House Digest. Belt drives often last 15 to 20 years.
How much does a Craftsman repair cost?
It depends on the part that failed, the model, and the age of the opener. You get the total before work starts. Our repair cost guide explains what changes the price.
Should I repair or replace my Craftsman?
Repair often makes sense for a newer opener with one failed part. If it is past 15 years or keeps failing, replacement may make more sense. See our replacement page.
