Genie Garage Door Keeps Running

Pull emergency release cord and knob toward the motor.

Genie garage door keeps running.

Try to keep the cord as parallel to the rail of the garage door opener as possible. Check garage door for binding. Locate the lens on each side of the garage door at the bottom. This is an easy fix.

If your garage door is closing fully and then reversing to open again then it may be due to a problem with the close limit switch. If an operational problem exists and the garage door opener will not close the opener can be forced to close. You may need to give the cord a slight yank to reconnect. Door starts down then stops before it is closed.

Press and hold the wall console button until the garage door is completey closed. Check for interference from adjacent photo eye sensors of any brand. If your genie garage door opener sounds like it s running but not moving and making a grinding noise it could be a coupler. You should now be able to operate the door using the genie garage door opener.
