Yes, you can use a Chamberlain remote for a Craftsman garage door opener in many cases because Craftsman garage door openers are manufactured by Chamberlain Group, same parent company as Chamberlain and LiftMaster, and share same Security+ technology and frequencies, so remotes are often compatible if Learn button colors match. Craftsman openers made after 1990s use Chamberlain Security+ rolling code technology, so Chamberlain remote that matches Learn button color frequency will work. For example, if your Craftsman opener has yellow Learn button indicating Security+ 2.0 MyQ tri-band, you can use Chamberlain remote with yellow Learn button compatibility like Chamberlain 953EV or 893MAX. If Craftsman has purple Learn button indicating 315 MHz, use Chamberlain remote compatible with purple. If Craftsman has red/orange Learn button, use Chamberlain remote for 390 MHz. To program Chamberlain remote to Craftsman opener, press Learn button on Craftsman motor unit, then press remote button within 30 seconds until lights flash. Some older Craftsman with DIP switches may not be compatible with newer Chamberlain rolling code remotes, need DIP switch remote. Check Craftsman model number and Learn button color, and Chamberlain remote compatibility chart. Universal remotes like Chamberlain 953EV are designed to work with Craftsman, Chamberlain, and LiftMaster. So yes, Chamberlain remote can work with Craftsman if frequency matches.
