Can’t remeber code

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This is not our main home and we installed a keypad to enter the garage when outside without access needing to the cars. Next visit We Forgot the code and needed to re program key pad

Called chamberlain and was walked through the process multiple times but we could not get the old code to erase in order to implement a new one.

Since remote was only 6 months old, we are being sent a brand new keypad for the garage doors and this time will write the code someplace safe

User's recommendation: Don’t forget your new code

AI Highlights
  • - Chamberlain opener Dec 2022, under 3 years.
  • - Logic board failed after moving in and replacement from Arizona took a week, costing $260.

Just moved into a new house. During our inspection, we checked the garage door opener (a nice Chamberlain unit) and found the install date of Dec.

2022. We were pleased it was less than 5 years old. Two months after moving in, the logic board failed on a unit less than 3 years old. It has taken a week to get the new board (from Arizona; it's supposed to be replaced tomorrow) and cost $260 to replace.

While it's pretty common these days to see this type of quality from a company that had a solid reputation in the past, it is very disappointing. If nothing else, I hope management takes these issues seriously.

User's recommendation: Buy and OverHead door

New door opener does not work.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Later, I did not have a customer service representative, and the computer doesn't know anything. The computer is stuck in a repetitive loop that gets you nowhere but is a big waste of time.

Loss:
$500
Pros:
  • It looks nice
Cons:
  • It does not work

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: They're not by until they hire some customer service people.

Worst customer service ever.....

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - CSRs are overseas with thick accents.
  • - There is a long lag in the connection.
  • - They didn't understand a basic inquiry.
  • - They went off on tangents.

CSRs are clearly way overseas somewhere. Thick accents, difficult to understand, and sometimes with an incredible lag in the connection.

Ie - I speak, and they don't hear it till 10 secs later, and vice versa. Makes for a really productive exchange.

Plus none of them understood my very basic inquiry, kept going off on their own tangents. Truly pathetic.

User's recommendation: Avoid like the plague.

Return policy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Chamberlain returns are ill-suited; buy from Home Depot or Amazon.
  • - Returns involve long calls (45 min) and a $20 FedEx charge.
  • - A second keypad was sent.
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Products are ok. I already purchased several MyQ indoor and outdoor cameras.

No problem.

But Chamberlain is ill-equipped for returns.

My advice : buy from Home Depot or Amazon, youll get an easy return if necessary.

I made the mistake to buy a « my Q Smart garage video keypad » directly from Chamberlain. As I decided to return it

1/ I had to follow their return procedure which is to call their Technical support, and I had to stay for 45 minutes discussing with an agent and waiting that he gives me a Return number.

2/ I had to pay $20 to FedEx ( I would have had a free return if I had purchased it at Home Depot .

3/ Chamberlain misunderstood my return request and sent me a second

«Smart garage and video Keypad » !

4/ I had to call them again, and again spend another 45 minutes on the phone while the agent was doing the necessary to organize the return of the item I had not ordered!!!

User's recommendation: Return procedure in lengthy and you have to pay for it. Don’t buy directly from Chamberlain.

  • - The tech tried to reset the opener but it failed.
  • - He said the mother board might be shot.
  • - I tried again and it worked; he was helpful.

The tech tried to reset opener but it wouldn't work, so he said the mother board must have been shot, So I tried it 1 more time, and it worked. I felt like he just gave up a little too quick. But He was very helpful on the rest of the process.

  • - Worst customer service I've encountered.
  • - A male agent couldn't understand the issue and left me on hold.
  • - On a return call, a female agent did the same.

Worst customer service I've ever encountered. Guy from somewhere in the middle east can't understand what my issue is.

It literally took me about 10mins for him to understand what the issue was and then just left me on hold. Same thing happened when I returned call but now a female.

Null response to my inquiry, MyQ damaged my car

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - MYQ malfunction closed the garage door, damaging my car.
  • - Claim #202407-87853; 72+ hrs no reply; seeking full repair cost and daily income loss.

The past July 16th, during the moment I was trying to park my car in the garage, I got in the car, and while I was going backward, a malfunction of the MYQ Tesla In-App monthly paid service closed the door while I was about to enter, resulting in into a big damage into my car and garage door, plus affecting me with the inability to work with my car, since I started working as UBER the week before, since I'm without a job, so I immediately call Chamberlain to get support and payment ASAP of this, to avoid financial impact to myself given the limitation that this cause, to be able to work. I filed the claim and I was given Claim # 202407**-**87853 they committed to solving it in 24 hrs, it has been already 72 hrs and counting and they don't even answer the phone or mail. So far to date Im losing the chance to generate at least 240 USD every day while working at UBER but I can't make this anymore with the car in this condition, so need to get paid for the full repair of the car's back glass original in the brand supplier, the door garage repair and alignment and the payment of every day I which cause of this, I can't work with the car damaged which is about 240 USD every day.

I shared with them the full video which can be all seen, I have with me, same I argue my claim that is a service that should be 100% reliable since the setup alternatives are: Autoclose once the car is more than 60ft away, and auto open when the car is 60ft radius of the geolocation of the house, which I set at the beginning of the subscription payment sign up.

I need an immediate response, this is deeply affecting my financial situation causing a 100% for a Malfunction of this device.

Loss:
$5500
Pros:
  • Allows you to connect analig door garage into wifi controlled
Cons:
  • & horrible customer service
  • High risk of accidents
  • Not reliable

Preferred solution: The full payment of the damages (Car damages, Garage Damages, personal Financial damage) Glass cost - 750 - 1000 USD Garage Panel Change and Alignment: 1000 USD Uber Lost Profit (240 USD per day since July 16th to date)

User's recommendation: Do not trust on MyQ paid services, or products, can damage your car

Lift master Logic Board

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

  • - Logic boards recalled; the new board is failing.
  • - Customer service says another board is coming; issue persists.
  • - I'm disabled; stairs are hard for me.
Chamberlain - Lift master Logic Board
Chamberlain - Lift master Logic Board - Image 2

Short story: Logic Boards have a recall, get a new board, new board is bad as well. Call customer service (Foreigner) and all I get is we are sending you another board.

Im disabled, and climbing up and down is not necessarily my strength. Chamberlain does not have techs or does not pay for techs.

Asked for a new opener, nope! Asked for a manager, nope, you will get a call back sometime.

User's recommendation: Do not purchase, lacking quality
