Troubleshooting LiftMaster 8500 Remote Control Programming

[ElisaMarie]

Having issues getting your remote to work with your LiftMaster 8500 garage door opener? Here's how to program it: First, find the "learn" button on the back of the LiftMaster 8500 opener unit. Press and quickly release this button; an indicator light should illuminate. Next, within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on your remote you wish to use. Keep holding until the garage door opener lights blink or you hear two clicks. Finally, release the remote button. Your remote should now be programmed. Still not working? Double-check that your remote's batteries are fresh and correctly installed. If problems continue, consult the troubleshooting section of your LiftMaster 8500 manual or seek professional assistance.
