I bought a spare. It didn't cost much. Here's one place ALLSTAR Garage Door Openers 110838 Wall Console-110838 (https://www.garagegateopeners.com/ALLSTAR-Garage-Door-Openers-110838-Wall-Console_p_66.html)

They run about $20 to $23.

The Allstar units are very difficult to find. The link you provided says they are out of stock. But you can buy a compatible Linear unit from Amazon. Linear now owns Allstar MVP.

[villagetinker]

I will need to check the spare parts box, I may have one, let me know if no one else gets back to you.

Call Scott at Scotts Garage Doors - he may be able to help. I thought mine was shot, and he got it working. If you want to replace, he has some pretty good deals on replacing with higher end openers.

Mine is slowly failing, meaning the buttons don't activate the unit reliably. Been pushing on the edge helps some. So today I decided to try fixing it. This is a dangerous thing for me to do.
Unplugged the unit from the ceiling. Two screws held it into the garage wall. Then a white and a blue thin wire connected it to the wiring. After disconnecting those two wires, and writing down which one went where.. the unit was free.

Next there were eight small screws holding the circuit board in the casing, as well as the two screws that had held the power wires.

After removing the 10 screws the board came free and now I could remove the board and get to the front of the unit. The rubbery cover that has the buttons pulled off easily. There are tiny posts that fit into little holes in the board so it will go back exactly right later.

I found that the circuit board where the up and down buttons pushed had a black rubbery residue where the push button pads made contact. So I very gently wiped that residue off carefully not scratching the board. Got about 70% off with just a paper towel and quit as I didn't want to damage the circuit board. No chemical cleaner, just a touch of water on a paper towel.

Replace parts in reverse order. Attach the two power wires, screw back into the wall and put the plug back in the outlet. And so far, it is working nicely. YMMV

Obviously this is not a permanent solution.

Thanks for the info. There is a replacement on Amazon for 20.00 just in case yours fails completely.

Please provide the Amazon link for the replacement, I’m unable to find it.

Here is a link for Linear wall control unit that I think is compatible with the Allstar mvp unit. Linear owns the Allstar company. The original Allstar wall control unit is discontinued, and it will be extremely difficult to find online.

here looks like an exact replacement

You are correct, but it is out of stock, like almost every other website that displays it.

Good luck trying to find one that is in stock.

Why not just go buy one??

[jarodrig]

Several have said that they can’t find it in stock .

[DBChris]

I was going to put these in the classifieds if anyone is interested before I do.

Good Luck! You can't buy the wall unit online - all sites state -"out of stock". It's been that way for several months. Take it off the wall and use compressor to blow the dust off the back.. I now use one of my hand held opens to do the function.

[brewbob]

I replaced my dead wall controller with a single button...

This amazon part B09GV8ZNPY

Cost $8. I mounted it on a wall plate....

Mounted on this...

This Lowes part 1001456732

Cost .72

You have to drill some holes in the plate to mount the switch and connect 2 wires.

Single button controls up and down of the door. Pressing the button while its opening or closing will pause the door.

TOV wont let me post web links....becuz Im a newbie to posting.

Cheers

Great step by step description to fix the problem.
I did the exact same thing a couple of months ago and it solved my problems.
The only thing I would add is to turn off the breaker 1st and then clean those dirty contact points with a paper towel soaked with alcohol.

Why not read the thread where people are stating they are sold out everywhere?

Has anyone installed one of these Linear controls and it worked properly?

[retiredguy123]

Has anyone installed one of these Linear controls and it worked properly?
I remember reading a customer review on Amazon several months ago that said they had replaced the Allstar wall control with the Linear and it worked, but I cannot find it now. So, I guess one thing you can do is to buy one, and if it doesn't work, return it to Amazon. You don't need to mount it on the wall. You only need to remove the Allstar wall console and connect 2 wires to see if it works. Good luck.

From Amazon reviews
Is this the actual "Linear" brand?
Answer:I don’t think so. Mine was not linear but the replacement worked beautifully
By Gary R. on August 9, 2021
Yes it is and works like a charm. Just make sure to connect the wires correctly. Do what I did and connect 1 at a time.
By Cecilio A Perez on August 9, 2021
Yes it is.
By George M. on August 9, 2021
Yes it was when I got it

Join the other 50,000 people looking for those. My garage guy said just hook up a doorbell switch, or buy an entirely different opener.

Out of stock and out of production.

OP, you are better off just biting the bullet and getting a new opener. The MVP chain drive is so loud compared to a belt drive. I bought a Chamberlain belt drive last year for $180 and it comes with the MyQ app that lets me know if I left the door open. I also set the door to close at 10PM if it's open in case I forget to close it. And it also included an outdoor keypad and has the high security rolling codes.

[villagetinker]

I agree with replacing with a chamberlain, I did this for myself, then a few neighbors. If you are careful, you can use the existing front track mount, and the existing ceiling rails, as well as the existing wiring. This cuts down on the installation time. While I have the chain drive unit, I did help install 3 belt drive units, and they are really quiet.

[jojo]

Why are you sorry?

Because I don't have the old pad to give the OP. Ryan is great.

How much are you going to pay for it? VS buying a new one??

i need a 2nd remote, having bought this used home w/ only providing one. Appreciate a text or call back. Thank you 215.479.3869

My exterior controller on the garage door frame stopped working. I didn't realize it is battery operated. It was hard to extract and replace the 9V battery but afterwards it works fine.

Ours stopped working too. I ordered a new one online from Amazon, here the next day, easy installation and battery included.

It sounds like you are referring to the handheld remote or the outside wall number pad. Those use a battery. But the OP needs the inside wall console unit which does not use a battery. The MVP wall console is a product that has been discontinued and is very difficult to find online.

[Papa_lecki]

My favorite feature of the MVP openers is when my neighbor comes home and tries to open his door, but another neighbor’s door with an MVP opener opens.

Thanks, I'm having the same problem. I'll try your repair notes.

How much for the outdoor control?

Who installed the new Chamberlain and what was the cost to install it?

[retiredguy123]

Who installed the new Chamberlain and what was the cost to install it?
Scott, 352-697-0321, told me he would provide and install one for $350, but that was about a year ago. I would recommend the belt drive instead of a chain drive. Quieter.

[villagetinker]

Who installed the new Chamberlain and what was the cost to install it?

These are easy to install (DIY), the instructions are very good, and it is possible to reuse the existing wiring which cuts down the install time. I did my own, then ended up helping several neighbors with theirs. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further.

[laboutj]

Who installed the new Chamberlain and what was the cost to install it?

I did my own install. It’s pretty straightforward
