Welcome back to the MM Garage Door Repair Utah blog!

This universal remote is a fantastic option for controlling multiple garage door openers, gate operators, and even MyQ-enabled devices. Let’s dive into the steps to get your 375UT programmed and working perfectly.
Understanding the LiftMaster 375UT Universal Remote
The LiftMaster 375UT is a versatile remote designed to work with a wide range of garage door openers, regardless of the brand. It’s a great solution if you have multiple garage doors or gates with different opener systems. Before we begin, it’s important to identify the type of learn button on your garage door opener. This button is usually located on the back of the motor unit, and its color will indicate the frequency and security type of your opener. Common colors include yellow, red/orange, green, and purple.
Safety First
Before you start programming your remote, always ensure the garage door area is clear of any obstructions, people, or pets. It’s also a good idea to unplug the garage door opener during the programming process to prevent accidental operation. Safety is our top priority here at MM Garage Door Repair Utah.
Programming Your LiftMaster 375UT Remote A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s a breakdown of the programming process, tailored to different types of garage door openers:
Step 1 Identify Your Garage Door Opener’s Learn Button Color
Locate the learn button on your garage door opener motor unit. Note the color of the button. This is crucial for selecting the correct programming method.
Step 2 Programming for Yellow Learn Button Openers (Security+ 2.0)
These openers use the latest Security+ 2.0 technology. Here’s how to program your 375UT:
- Press and release the learn button on your garage door opener. The learn indicator light will illuminate.
- Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the 375UT remote that you want to use to control the garage door.
- Release the button when the garage door opener lights flash or you hear a click.
- Test the remote by pressing the programmed button. The garage door should open or close.
Step 3 Programming for Red Orange Green or Purple Learn Button Openers (Security+)
These openers use the older Security+ technology. The programming process is slightly different:
- Press and release the learn button on your garage door opener. The learn indicator light will illuminate.
- Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the 375UT remote that you want to use to control the garage door.
- Release the button when the garage door opener lights flash or you hear a click.
- Immediately press and release the same button on the remote again.
- Test the remote by pressing the programmed button. The garage door should open or close.
Step 4 Programming for Older Dip Switch Openers
If your garage door opener is older and uses dip switches, you’ll need to set the dip switches on the 375UT remote to match the dip switch settings on your garage door opener. Consult your garage door opener’s manual for the location of the dip switches. Once the dip switches are set, the remote should work immediately.
Step 5 Programming for MyQ Enabled Devices
If you are programming to a MyQ enabled device, you will need to use the MyQ app. The 375UT remote can be added to your MyQ account through the app. Follow the instructions in the MyQ app to add the remote.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, programming doesn’t go as smoothly as planned. Here are a few common issues and their solutions:
- Remote Not Responding: Ensure the remote’s battery is good. Try replacing it with a fresh battery. Also, double-check that you’re following the correct programming steps for your opener’s learn button color.
- Opener Not Learning: Make sure you’re pressing the remote button within the 30-second window after pressing the learn button on the opener. If you’re still having trouble, try unplugging the opener for a few minutes and then plugging it back in before attempting to program again.
- Interference: Other electronic devices can sometimes interfere with the remote’s signal. Try moving away from other devices while programming.
