    Use only standard bulbs, not fluorescent or LED.

      Thanks a lot. You were right, removing the LED bulbs stopped that stupid issue. Don't know why it matters, but it fixed the issue nonetheless. Thanks again!!!

      Long story: I noticed that the remotes would stop working whenever I had operated the door in the past 5 minutes or so. My opener turns the lights on for 4.5 minutes after each use. I guessed the lights were somehow causing a problem. So, I used the light button (on the multi-function door control) to turn off the light, and then all the remotes worked right away. Next, I swapped a regular light bulb for the LED bulb, and the entire problem disappeared.

      To tell the truth, it took about 3 hours of troubleshooting to get to the bottom of this. I hope this helps someone.
