There are a couple of things you need to know before you start LiftMaster garage door opener programming. First, it is important to know where the Learn button is located on the door opener and take note of its color.
The colors are usually green, red, orange, purple, or yellow. You might need a stepladder to reach the opener. Wall-mounted panels also come with physical buttons or menus to help with the programming.
You should also have the remotes you intend to program at hand and ensure they have well-functioning batteries. To know if the remote is working well, press any button. If it has an LED light, it should light up even before it is programmed.
There are two groups of LiftMaster remote controls—the standard and the MAX LiftMaster remote controls. The former group includes these models:
LiftMaster 891LM
LiftMaster 893LM
LiftMaster 375UT
The latter group includes:
LiftMaster 890MAX
LiftMaster 893MAX
LiftMaster 895MAX
LiftMaster 877MAX
The LiftMaster standard remote control can be programmed to activate a number of devices including garage door openers, commercial door openers, external wired-in receivers, and gate operators.
These are the steps to follow when doing LiftMaster garage door opener programming for standard remote controls:
Step 1: Locate the garage door opener’s Learn button. It is usually on the same side as the antenna and you might need to remove the light lens to be able to access it. The button can have a yellow, purple, red, orange, or green color. There is also a small LED light beside it.
Step 2: Push the Learn button once and release it.
Step 3: Press and hold the button that you are programming on your remote control for three seconds before releasing it. This should be done within 30 seconds of pressing the Learn button.

Here’s how to do the same for MAX remote controls:
Step 1: After finding the location of the Program button on your garage door opener, use a safety pin or a paper clip to press the button until the LED light turns on.
Note: For the 893MAX remote control, the button is usually located at the back of the device under the visor clip. On the 877MAX which has a keyless entry keypad, press * and # simultaneously until the keys have a steady light instead of flashing. This will get the controller in programming mode.
Step 2: On the remote, press the button that you are programming and release.
Step 3: After the LED light on the remote control has stopped blinking, slowly press and release the button once more. Repeat the process until the light bulb blinks.
Note: Do not press the button after the light bulb has blinked. This will put the remote in a different setting and make it impossible to operate. In case you accidentally press the button after the light bulb blinks, start the process afresh from step 1.
Step 4: Press any button on your remote control after the light bulb has blinked.
It is important to note that you can only program one button on the remote control at a time. If you need to program other buttons, repeat the steps for each of the buttons you want to program.
You should also test the remote control to see that it works the way you expect it to.
