Genie Garage Door Openers Parts

Genie garage door openers are known for their reliability and durability. However, even the best garage door openers can experience problems from time to time. If your Genie garage door opener is not working properly, it is important to troubleshoot the problem and replace any faulty parts. Here is a guide to the most common Genie garage door opener parts and their functions:

Motor

The motor is the heart of the garage door opener. It is responsible for powering the drive system that opens and closes the door. Genie garage door openers use either a chain drive or belt drive system. Chain drive motors are less expensive than belt drive motors, but they are also noisier. Belt drive motors are more expensive, but they are quieter and more durable.

Drive System

The drive system is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the door. The two most common types of drive systems are chain drive and belt drive. Chain drive systems use a chain to connect the motor to the door. Belt drive systems use a belt to connect the motor to the door. Belt drive systems are generally quieter and more durable than chain drive systems.

Trolley

The trolley is responsible for supporting the door as it opens and closes. The trolley is attached to the door by a series of hinges. The trolley also contains the sensors that detect when the door is open or closed.

Sensors

The sensors are responsible for detecting when the door is open or closed. The sensors are located on either side of the door opening. When the door is open, the sensors send a signal to the motor to stop the door from moving. When the door is closed, the sensors send a signal to the motor to start the door moving.

Remote Control

The remote control is used to open and close the door from a distance. The remote control sends a signal to the motor to start or stop the door. Genie garage door openers come with a variety of remote controls, including keypads, remotes with rolling codes, and remotes with HomeLink.

Wall Mount Control Panel

The wall mount control panel is located on the wall next to the door. The wall mount control panel allows you to open and close the door, as well as program the remote controls. The wall mount control panel also contains a light that indicates when the door is open or closed.

Safety Release

The safety release is a manual release that allows you to open the door in the event of a power outage. The safety release is located on the outside of the door. To use the safety release, simply pull the handle down and lift the door.

Lubrication

It is important to lubricate the Genie garage door opener regularly. This will help to keep the door operating smoothly and prevent wear and tear. Genie recommends lubricating the door every six months. To lubricate the door, simply apply a few drops of oil to the moving parts.
