Genie Garage Door Opener Will Not Work

If your Genie garage door opener is not working, there are a few things you can check to troubleshoot the issue. First, make sure that the power is on and that the opener is plugged into a working outlet. If the power is on, check the circuit breaker or fuse box to make sure that the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse has not blown.

If the power is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped or the fuse has not blown, check the batteries in the remote control. If the batteries are low, replace them with new batteries. If the remote control still does not work, try reprogramming it.

If the remote control still does not work, check the sensors on the bottom of the garage door. The sensors should be aligned with each other and there should be no obstructions between the sensors. If the sensors are not aligned or there are obstructions, adjust the sensors or remove the obstructions.

If the sensors are aligned and there are no obstructions, check the wiring to the opener. Make sure that the wires are securely connected and that there are no breaks in the wires. If the wires are not securely connected or there are breaks in the wires, repair the wires.

If you have checked all of the above and the garage door opener still does not work, there may be a problem with the opener itself. In this case, you will need to contact a qualified technician to repair the opener.
