Genie Troubleshooting and Support FAQ

Encountering issues with your Genie garage door opener can be frustrating, but many common problems have straightforward solutions. Whether it’s a blinking light or a malfunctioning remote, most homeowners will eventually run into one of these issues. We aim to address the basics below.

Why is the Safe-T-Beam light blinking?

Safe-T-Beam is a government-required safety feature that must be installed in order for your Genie garage door opener to work. A flashing Safe-T-Beam LED indicator means a malfunction has occurred. First, be sure that the lenses are clean, and check for any possible obstructions or loose wires. Also, make sure that lenses are mounted five to six inches from the floor on either side of the garage-door opening and that lenses are aligned facing one another. If the LED indicator continues to flash, see your owner’s manual for a list of possible causes and additional troubleshooting.

Why does my Genie garage door opener reverse/open when I try closing it?

The likely culprit is an obstruction in the path of the garage door. Check for and clear any obstructions in its way. If the problem persists, check to see if the red Safe-T-Beam LED indicator is blinking. If it is, be sure that the lenses are mounted five to six inches from the floor on either side of the garage-door opening. If the Safe-T-Beam lenses appear to be installed properly and aligned facing one another, refer to the troubleshooting section of your owner’s manual for additional causes and solutions.

Why does the Genie opener run without moving the door?

Your garage door may be disconnected from the opener. Check that the emergency-release cord has not been pulled. If this is the reason, you will need to reengage the carriage. The method to reengage the carriage depends on the model of garage door opener you own. See your owner’s manual for more details.

Why won’t my Genie remote work?

Be sure that the remote has been properly programmed and that fresh batteries have been installed. If you are still having trouble, refer to your owner’s manual.

​I recently installed some LED light bulbs on my opener and noticed I lost a little range on my remote transmitter about the same time. Are the two items related?

With the obsolescence of the basic incandescent light bulb, it has come to Genie’s attention that there are certain brands or types of LED bulbs that can cause interference with the radio signals. These LED bulbs can have an effect on the operation of nearby devices, such as affecting the transmitter range for remote operation of a garage door opener.

To solve the issue, Genie has developed its own LED light bulb, designed specifically for almost any brand of garage door opener. It either eliminates or greatly reduces the issue of weakened remote signal to your opener that common LED bulbs can cause. It also has the added advantage of being shatter & vibration resistant. Bulbs can be purchased from Amazon or Home Depot.

Testimonials From Our Customers

I have been using Suburban Door for the past 6 years. I have never had a serious issue with my door, but I do get a yearly maintenance done on my whole system. The tech is always polite, and very professional. They always take plenty of time checking out my door and motor. Thanks to there great maintenance pricing I have been able to avoid any costly repairs.

Plano, TX

I was referred through my home warranty company for a repair that was not covered under my policy (my door was off of the rails). I couldn't believe how fast they were able to get a tech to my house. From my initial first phone call to the job being completed took less than 2 hours. I thought my day would be tied up, and I would have to take the day off of work. Thanks to the amazing girls in the office, and Ben the wonderful technician it was not a problem (I even made it to work on time). I would recommend Suburban Door to anyone. They are so friendly, and very reliable. Their work is A+.

C. Head

Addison, TX

I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years, and will continue to do so. I was referred to Suburban Door by my neighbor when my spring broke on my door. I was very impressed with their level of professionalism and customer care. Since my first call to them in 1996 I have had the pleasure of dealing with their staff on a few other properties I own. They are the first and only call I make for garage door issues.

I love the referral program that Suburban Door offers. As I refer my friends to them I get a lovely thank you maintenance coupon. More companies should offer things like this. It really shows your customers that you appreciate them.

T. Kerr

Plano, TX

After a very frustrating time dealing with another company I decided to give Suburban Doors a call. They were very accomodating to my situation, and were so kind to work around my hectic schedule. The other company gave me a time window of 12-5. I told them I couldn't give up that much time of my day. I was simply told....too bad. Suburban Door gave me a time window of between 11-1 and gave me a 30 minute call to meet the tech. It was so nice to see a company that truly values the time of their customers. The repair was quickly done, and I was really impressed with the pricing. Overall great experience. Highly recommend.
