Do I need to re-program my opener after I replace batteries in the remote?

[Eager2Learn]

I never had to.

Usually not, but you would be better off checking your owner's manual or looking online for your particular model.

Have had several openers since the late 1970's. Never have had to reprogram any of them when replacing a battery.

I had the batteries replaced in mine thinking that's all there was to it .....no after contacting the garage door company I found out it has to be reprogrammed...thank goodness my son was able to solve the problem..the brand I have is a Genie....

I've never had to with many different brands over the years.

No.

I've never had to after replacing remote batteries. Sometimes after having work done on the mechanics you have to hit a reset button on the side of the unit.

@89135 , I have never had to.

I have another garage door opener question if @89135  will permit me to go OT.

The garage door opener will open the door but not close it.  I have rye-programmed with no success, lined up the lights at the bottom, etc.  Do I need to replace it?  

@hckynutjohn , do you know?  Anyone else?

Any advice appreciated!  LM

No but if you buy a new remote, you will need to pair it with your opener.
