How To Reset My Genie Garage Door Opener

If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having a Genie garage door opener that has stopped working, don't panic. Resetting the opener is a relatively simple process that you can complete in a few minutes, and it will often solve the problem.

There are two main reasons why you might need to reset your Genie garage door opener. The first is if the opener has lost power. This can happen due to a power outage or if a circuit breaker has tripped. The second reason is if the opener has become desynchronized with the remote control. This can happen if the remote control has been dropped or if the batteries have died.

To reset your Genie garage door opener, follow these steps:

Locate the reset button on the opener. It is usually located on the back or side of the unit.
Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds.
Release the reset button and wait a few seconds.
The opener will now be reset and you can reprogram the remote control.

Once you have reset the Genie garage door opener, you can reprogram the remote control by following these steps:

Press and hold the programming button on the opener for 3 seconds.
Release the programming button and press the button on the remote control that you want to program.
Hold the button on the remote control for 2 seconds.
The remote control will now be programmed and you can close the door.

If you have followed these steps and your Genie garage door opener is still not working, there may be another problem with the unit. In this case, you should contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
