Genie Garage Door Keeps Running

Door starts down then stops before it is closed.

Genie garage door keeps running.

In order to fix this you ll want to make small changes to the close limit setting until the door opener knows to stop once the door has reached the floor. You may need to give the cord a slight yank to reconnect. 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 your genie garage door opener sounds like it s running but not moving and making a grinding noise it could be a coupler.

Check for interference from adjacent photo eye sensors of any brand. Check garage door for binding. Try to keep the cord as parallel to the rail of the garage door opener as possible. This is an easy fix.

The lenses will most likely be attached to metal brackets attached to the garage door frame. Pull emergency release cord and knob toward the motor. You should now be able to operate the door using the genie garage door opener. Fold a soft cloth around your finger.
