Check before you buy

  1. Match the model label.

    It should read 8550W (or 8550WL, 8550WLB, 8550WLB-267). Model label on the motor unit panel (location varies by model; see the manual).

  2. Note the button color.

    The official documents we checked do not state a learn-button color for this model, so we do not show one.

  3. Program it the official way.

    Use the opener’s LEARN button and the steps in the official LiftMaster documentation or the remote’s instructions.

Both official manual editions (made before 2022 and 2022+) list the same remote accessories.
