Good Garage Door Opener ?



Question:
I have a garage door opener from Craftsman, I don't know the model. It is about 10 years old. It will open from the manual switch, but not from the remotes. I know how to re-program them, but that has not helped. This has been a problem for a while, it seems off and on as to whether the remotes will work. I assume the receiver in the opener to be defective, and I doubt it is replaceable. The mechanical part of the opener seems fine. What is your recommendation on a new opener ?? Another Craftsman? What about Genie ? The one I have is a chain driven type, and I wonder if the belt driven types are better?? Thanks for any tips or advice !!

Answer:
you can buy universal recievers for about $50. Cheaper than a whole new opener. THey hook up to the push button wire (you say that works?). See here for one. http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/Remote/DesignTech-Garage-Remotes/Ite... I think Genie also makes one.
