Genie Garage Door Does Not Stop

Your garage door may be disconnected from the opener.

Genie garage door does not stop.

See your owner s manual for more details. I accidentally activated the opening of my automatic garage door even though it was physically locked with the lockbar at the side of the door. Try to keep the cord as parallel to the rail of the garage door opener as possible. If this is the reason you will need to reengage the carriage.

You may need to give the cord a slight yank to reconnect. Pull emergency release cord and knob toward the motor. Check garage door for binding. Press and hold the wall console button until the garage door is completey closed.

The method to reengage the carriage depends on the model of garage door opener you own. This had the effect that the metal hook is now almost at the motor and when i manually open the garage the plastic catch does not reach the metal hook to fit it in place. Incorrectly set limit switches may prevent your garage door from closing completely. The garage door opener limit switch tells the motor that lifts and lowers the garage door when to stop running.

Door starts down then stops before it is closed. If an operational problem exists and the garage door opener will not close the opener can be forced to close. Check that the emergency release cord has not been pulled.
