Craftsman 139658060 garage door opener Parts

Your garage door opener’s model number is printed on a label on the powerhead (the motor unit mounted to the ceiling or wall). For Craftsman model 139658060, the label is typically under a cover, so you may need to open the light lens or front cover to see it.

Where to look on common opener styles

Check these spots on the motor unit housing:

• Jackshaft operator (wall-mounted): under the front cover
• One-light model: under the light cover (light lens)
• Two-light model: under the light cover opposite the controls and antenna
• Ceiling-mounted chain/belt drive: on the side panel near the antenna wire, or behind the light lens
• Near the learn button area: sometimes the label is close to the learn button and wiring terminals

What to write down (so you get the right parts)

Record the information exactly as shown on the label:

• Model number (for example, 139658060)
• Serial number (if listed)
• Motor type (AC or DC, if shown)
• Any logic board or receiver part identifiers printed on the label

Quick checklist before you order parts

These steps prevent mismatches when you are troubleshooting remotes, wall controls, or safety sensors:

• Confirm the model number matches character-for-character
• Check whether your opener uses a DC motor (often has diagnostic codes)
• Note how many light lenses the powerhead has (one-light vs two-light)
• Take a clear photo of the label for reference

Error codes can help confirm what you have

If your Craftsman opener is flashing lights or showing a diagnostic pattern, match the code to the right troubleshooting path using Craftsman error codes.

What you see	What it usually means	What to do next

Common parts people replace on Craftsman openers

These are the most frequently replaced items on many Craftsman garage door openers (exact parts vary by build).

Symptom	Common part area to check	What to look for
Door won’t close	Safety sensor system	Misalignment, blocked beam, damaged wires
Motor runs but door doesn’t move	Drive system	Stripped gear, loose chain/belt, worn sprocket
Remote or wall button issues	Controls	Weak remote battery, wall control wiring, logic board symptoms
Reverses or stops	Travel/force settings	Door binding, force set too low, sensor issues

Why it matters

Ordering by model number and diagram position prevents wrong-part returns and speeds up repair time, especially on items like safety sensors, wall controls, and drive components that can look similar across Craftsman series.

To resync (re-engage) your Craftsman garage door opener model 139658060 after using the emergency release, fully close the door, pull the red release cord toward the opener to reset the latch, then press the wall control or remote until the trolley clicks back onto the carriage.

Quick re-sync steps (trolley re-engagement)

• Make sure the garage door is fully closed and not stuck on the floor.
• Pull the red emergency release cord down and toward the opener motor (this resets the release mechanism).
• Press the wall control (preferred) or a programmed remote.
• Watch the trolley move; you should hear or feel a click when it re-locks.
• Test one full open and close cycle.

If it will not re-engage

These checks fix most “won’t reconnect” situations:

• Door is not fully closed: push it down by hand (with the opener disconnected) so the trolley can line up.
• Trolley is not near the door arm: run the opener briefly with the wall control to bring the trolley close.
• Release cord is still in manual position: pull the cord toward the opener again to reset it.
• Safety sensors are blocked or misaligned: the opener may refuse to close, which looks like a sync problem.
• Travel or force settings are off: the opener may reverse before it can latch and complete a cycle.

What “resync” usually means

What you are trying to fix	What to do	What you should see
Door moves by hand but not by opener	Re-engage the trolley (steps above)	Trolley clicks back in, door runs automatically
Remote stopped working	Reprogram remote to the opener	Remote operates door reliably
Door starts down then reverses	Check sensors, travel, and force	Door closes without reversing

Why it matters

When the trolley is disengaged, the motor can run but it cannot move the door. Re-engaging the trolley restores normal automatic operation and helps you confirm the door and safety sensor system are working correctly.

For a Craftsman garage door opener like model 139658060, compatibility is determined by the opener’s radio system (learn-button/rolling-code type) and the door’s requirements (door weight, spring balance, and drive style). Match the remote or smart controller to the opener’s learn-button system first, then confirm the door is properly balanced.

Quick compatibility checklist (what we check first)

• Opener brand and model: Craftsman 139658060 on the motor unit label.
• Learn button system: Identify the learn button and its color (common colors include red/orange, purple, yellow, green).
• Remote/control type: Standard remote, keypad, wall control, or smart controller.
• Safety sensors: Photoeyes must be installed and aligned for normal closing.
• Door condition: Door must move smoothly by hand and stay at mid-travel when released.

How to identify the right remote or control

1. Locate the learn button on the motor head (usually behind the light lens or a small cover).
2. Note the learn button color and any nearby markings.
3. Use that information to choose a compatible remote/keypad and follow the programming steps.

If your opener flashes lights or shows a diagnostic pattern during programming or operation, use our Craftsman error codes reference to match the symptom to the correct fix.

Smart control and “universal” compatibility (what to expect)

Many “universal” remotes and controllers work across multiple generations, but compatibility still depends on the opener’s radio platform.

What you’re adding	Usually works when	Common sign it won’t pair
Universal remote/keypad	Learn button system is supported	Remote won’t program, opener light flashes repeatedly
Smart controller	Opener supports the controller’s protocol	App/controller can’t learn the opener
Wall control	Control wiring and logic match the opener	Wall button works intermittently or not at all

Why it matters

Using the wrong compatible control wastes time and can look like a bad circuit board, bad receiver, or “dead” remote. Matching the learn-button system first prevents misdiagnosis and helps you avoid unnecessary parts replacement.

For a Craftsman garage door opener such as model 139658060, the average installed cost is $300 to $800+ for the opener and professional labor. Price depends on the drive system (chain, belt, or screw), whether you are replacing an existing opener, and any electrical or accessory work.

Typical installed price ranges

These ranges apply to most residential garage door openers; your total lands in a band based on opener type and job complexity.

• Chain drive opener: typically $300 to $500 installed
• Belt drive opener: typically $400 to $800+ installed
• Smart/Wi-Fi opener or added accessories: typically $500 to $1,200+ installed
• Replacement vs. first-time install: replacements usually cost less because wiring and mounting points may already exist

Job type	What the installer typically does	Typical total cost
Replace an existing opener	Remove old unit, mount new opener, reconnect wiring, set travel/force, safety test	$300 to $700
First-time opener install	Add mounting, run wiring as needed, install wall control and sensors, full calibration	$400 to $1,200+

What changes the price the most

These are the most common cost drivers we see for Craftsman garage door opener installs.

• Drive type (belt is quieter; chain is usually lower cost)
• Door size and weight (heavier doors take more setup and tuning)
• Electrical needs (adding an outlet or new wiring increases labor)
• Accessory setup (keypad, extra remotes, smart features)
• Safety sensor issues (alignment, sun glare, damaged brackets, or wiring)

Why it matters

A correct install includes travel limits, force adjustments, and safety sensor alignment. Getting these right prevents nuisance reversals, “won’t close” symptoms, and unnecessary wear on the door and opener.
