| Hi, I have an old Sears Craftsman GDO put in about 17 yrs ago, model 139.53615SR. The 3-button remotes we used to have are long gone. I am going to buy a remote, but I know I will have to program the dip switches from the main unit to the remote. Where in the main unit are the switches located and how do I get to them? I need things really explained to me because I am a very unhandy middle aged woman. Thanks, Leme |

| Leme your opener doesn't have dip switches. It has a smart/learn button just to the left of all those white wires. You didn't ask for it but I would like to give you a little advice. Don't spend money on this old outdated opener. Get a new one which will be much much safer. |

| Hi Don, Thanks, but I don't have the money to have a new one put in at this time. The opener works great & it seems quite safe. It opens with the key pad outside and the unit on the wall inside the garage. It also works with my car. I just want to be able to program a remote control for it. I don't see a smart/learn button on the outside, could it be inside? or do I have to unscrew something? The remotes that I used to have for it had switch settings. What remote can I get for it and how do I program it to my GDO. Thanks |

| The company made these openers backwards compatible so older remotes would work with newer openers and for a time you may have gotten a mix of models. If you in fact do have dip switches they will be in the same place I described. Just to the left of where all those white wires go. You do not need to remove anything. |
