How to Reset a Genie Garage Door Opener

If your Genie garage door opener is not working properly, resetting it may be the solution. Resetting the opener will return it to its factory default settings, which may resolve any issues you are experiencing. Here are the steps on how to reset a Genie garage door opener:

1. Locate the reset button. The reset button is usually located on the back or side of the motor unit. It may be a small, red button or a recessed button that you need to press with a pen or pencil.

2. Press and hold the reset button. Hold the reset button for about 10 seconds, or until the LED light on the motor unit starts to flash. This indicates that the opener has been reset.

3. Release the reset button. Once the LED light starts to flash, release the reset button.

4. Reprogram the opener. After resetting the opener, you will need to reprogram it to work with your remote controls and wall-mounted keypad. To do this, follow the instructions in the user manual that came with your opener.

5. Test the opener. Once you have reprogrammed the opener, test it to make sure it is working properly. Press the button on your remote control or wall-mounted keypad and see if the door opens and closes smoothly.

If you have followed these steps and your Genie garage door opener is still not working properly, there may be a more serious issue that requires professional repair. Contact a qualified electrician or garage door repair technician for assistance.

Additional tips:

Before resetting your opener, make sure that the batteries in your remote control and wall-mounted keypad are fresh.

If you have multiple Genie garage door openers, you will need to reset each one individually.
