Program your new remote to your Wayne-Dalton garage door.
The Wayne Dalton 61WD remote control for a garage door is the same remote control as the Sears Lift-Master Chamberlain 61LM. Lift-Master manufacturers all of these remote-control units. Programming the remote control depends on whether your opener and control use dip switches or a smart button. The 61WD is a single-function remote control, so you will not have to program the remote for anything other than the garage door opener.
Instructions
1. Place a stepladder under the rear of the garage door opener's motor head. If there is a light cover on the back of the motor head, remove it by pressing in the top and bottom with your fingers and pulling the cover away from the motor head. Some openers use four screws to secure the cover. Remove the screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
2. Locate the programming mechanism on the back of the garage door motor. You will have either a line of nine white dip switches or a memory button next to a small LED light.
3. Press the programming button with your finger if your unit uses a Learn programming mechanism. The LED light will illuminate. Press the white bar on the remote control, and the garage door opener lights will flash three times. Press the bar again, and the opener will operate with the remote control.
4. Turn the remote control over, and slide off the battery cover with your thumb, if your unit uses dip switches. Position the dip switches inside the remote to the exact dip-switch position on the back of the motor. The dip switches are above the battery, and you can move the individual switches up and down with a flat-head screwdriver.
5. Press the white bar on the remote control, and the garage door opener will operate. If it does not, the dip switches do not match. Check the dip switches on the back of the motor to see which one is incorrect on the remote.
Tips Warnings
If your remote control uses nine switches and the opener has only eight switches, set the last dip switch on the remote control to 0.
