My 1997 Craftsman garage door opener just went up a few days ago. Called a local company for replacement and installation... quoted me a price of $800.I went down to Lowes and picked up the Genie 750 for $200. Watching these great tutorial vids on KZfaq gave me the confidence to tackle the project. I worked on it alone....it took a little while, just took one step at a time...but I'm happy to say the new Genie garage door functions beautifully and is quieter than ever. Thank you for these videos.

This guy's garage is cleaner than my kitchen.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. I (female) was able to install this entirely on my own. The only criticism I would give is not covering the final piece of programming the door. The "click here to view the programming" video does not work. Thankfully I was able to find the video and got this piece done pretty quickly. All in all I completed the project alone in about 2.5-3 hours.

Very good video! Prevent door hanging on track. Check garage door by rolling up and down by hand before hook up to opener.

Great video, thanks Genie! Our installation worked out perfectly from your instruction. Now, i have two more wishes left. Think ill save them for a rainy day :). Take care 👍

thank you for the complete installation video..

I have a Genie Excelerator since January, 2002! I am about to go to Lowes or Home Depot to purchase a new Genie. In Savannah, Georgia we are having a problem getting anyone to install the opener. H. Depot said they do not have anyone and I do not think they are stocking the doors or openers any longer. Apparently, they are going to be mail order only. Hope I can install the new one by myself! Hah!! Thom Brooks

Thanks for the video! Installation guy cancelled twice and I figured he didn't need the work and I didn't need the headache of wondering if he'd ever show up. I followed your video and it's up and running in an afternoon. Great opener, great price.

Thank you!!! I kept pressing the button and never worked, yet the down and up limit configuration did work. I pushed the cover up and pressed the program mode and it began flashing purple letting me know it was in programming mode 😊😊😊😊😊

Run the wires from the control console directly to the power head which is a quicker route. Don't need to run wires to the garage door, then back all the way to the power head.

Thank you. Sounds incredibly easy to follow

I just installed mine. Installation was so easyr👍👍

Best video ever posted to the KZfaq!

We had a lightning strike surge that fried our garage door opener. Replaced the opener and added a single-plug surge protectors between the plug and the outlet.

Thanks for this video you make it look so easy

Thank you for your email. Somebody took care of me and the -parts came already

My 7055 stopped opening after a few seconds and stayed quiet. Is the motor gone bad? Any advise?

This was extremely thorough, the only thing I would have told you to do different is to explain the wiring a little better. I understand on the wall console that you could switch the wires around and it wouldn't matter and that you ended up putting them in number three and number four slots. But that's not obvious to everyone. I repair electronics and the average person would struggle with that piece, I promise you. Just a quick ,"the wires go in slots 3 and 4 and it does not matter which wire goes where" would have made a world of difference for some people.

Replacing my 25 year old Genie Intellicode with a SilentMax belt drive. This video helps tremendously.

For instructions on installing the battery power backup, watch video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKl-jKR0uL2cmmQ.html

Note that sometimes you can't program anything because the buttons won't necessarily reach the microswitches on the circuit board. To resolve this issue, just remove the case and push the microswitches directly. The Genie tech gave me that advise and then I could program the 7055. When I went to the Lowes site to comment on this, I noted that someone else had already commented on this issue. This could be a design/manufacturing issue. Good to know there is a work-around.

Does the bracket for the chain/belt drive have to be at the dead center of the door? My current set up has the rail about 1/2 inch right of center and I was wondering if that is what is causing my door to drift to the right. Thanks

Great video! Able to hardwire this 7155 model?

Husband and I just installed 2 Genie 7055 TPV. First one the openers don't openn the door, we can open the door through the control console, but the wall and handheld remotes don't work. We can hear a slight "click" coming from the console. We've tried relocating wires, etc. When I program the remotes, the light sequencing on the console unit flash, but the openers don't open the door. Could the board be bad? On the second unit, first time we opened the door, the turnbuckle got jammed at the console. Now the gold threaded piece on the belt is bent. Can we get another belt?

Solid video! Well done.

Hello genie Company I have a question my 2028 professional line model won’t work with any other light than the one the opener came with I did not use over 60 Watts

I just installed the torsion spring assembly, and now I learn that they are never to be moved or adjusted. Do they have an actual genie to magically install those now?

You never showed when and how to latch carriage back to belt.

Does it matter where the turnbuckle is located? mine is really close to the door... 20m in way from it.

Great video..thanks

Will these work good on cloplay doors

Genie, I installed my garage door rail and am having some issues. I installed it between the door and a structural beam and it’s a very tight fit and the door rubs. Do you make a thinner or smaller rail system?

You don’t show the polarity of the connection to the safe T photocell, nor is it marked in anyway on the cell itself

Where is the link to what comes next? Setting force and programming??

Is the wall control unit supposed to be always red? I'm having issues, so I'm not sure if it's related. I only caught something about a different wall unit where a backlight will be red unless in vacation mode?

What I am trying to figure out is why genie made the garage door trolley backwards in my head that doesn’t really make sense by different companies do different things but if they flip it around in the future I think it will be easier to use

Why about installing the battery back??

does it work with solid doors?

If the powerhead rail is not level, will that cause component failure in the powerhead?

The video mentions "never use an extension cord", but why the genie garage opener cord is so short? I never had a problem with old garage door opener's cord length. Now I just bought a genie 7705, and the cord is shorter. Genie cannot reach the power outlet forcing me to use an extension cord.

Hi my door to garage is kind of heavy do you think it will have the strength to lift it and do I need to take down the old springs that are on it still ?

I bought a Genie 7055 but the shipment box was damaged and one of the bags with hardware was opened. I am missing a couple of pieces.

How to disable red and green lights? My dark garage is not dark.

I was hoping to see how to install the outer key pad. That is the only thing preventing me to install it myself. My home looks like its pre wired for an opener. But I dont see where I would mount it on the outside.

This may sound like a dumb question and I apologize, but does the turnbuckle have to go into the carriage assembly? I have everything hooked up, and the door opener runs, but it doesn't lift the door. That's the only thing I can figure, but I see nothing in the instructions (unless I'm missing something) and I see nothing in this video (again, unless I'm missing something).

At 11:36 you say twist the two wires together and insert them into terminal point 1 on that terminal board. But it looks like you have 3 or 4 wires and are inserting them into terminal points 1&2. Which is it?

Im trying to figure out if you cross the wires or set the same wires together? I can't see if they are crossed or not

Where is the video of de programming of the door?. Model 2055. Thanks

What will happen if I’ve tightened the belt too tight and didn’t leave slack? I’m troubleshooting a problem resetting down limit

Hi I have a genie but it's been discontinued. How do I get my parts for it I need the door carriage

Can’t click the programming video, do you have a link to it?

I can stop the motor from going down after the door had reached thre floor. Please help.

Trying to look for the AMPS for the motor can you let me know

why does my rail bow really bad when lowering the door?

The MAIN thing that would raise questions is the wiring. I have old wires that worked on the old opener, but they don't match the manual or this video. When he gets to that part, he says "as shown" instead of.explaoning anything at all, and his fat fingers are directly obstructing the view.

I just installed the Genie 2055. It seems a little slow when opening up. 15 second to fully open and 10 seconds to close. Is that normal?

Greetings, I cleaned sensors, bought two new different remotes, erased all memory... indoor button works fine all the time. Both new remotes must be pressed several times or it works on the first time and then not. Wires seem to be fine even when I wiggle them sensors do not flicker. How can I trouble shoot the geniue motor? Installed 2004. Thank you.

My opener will no longer work. Is there a reset button?

Help. I have installed Genie 3055 as described but the door won't operate from wall console. I have checked and rechecked the wiring. My garage is prewired and had a Genie operating opener previously. I have it wired at wall Console white to W and red to BW. At unit white at Terminal 4 and Red into Terminal 3. Any suggestions.

It has been for me too difficult to get anybody from Genie to answer a phone call and to get relevant support online. Maybe I have to conclude by not looking again at something with the name Genie on it. Not simply always, it is not at my command" The support I am speaking of is related to an incomplete box of a garage opener with missing parts that prevents its installation. Have you helped in getting the missed parts? Neither Genie. I called them yesterday, pressed one to get a callback, I'm still waiting, and today, the same story, nobody picks the phone and they want for me to press 1 again.

Have been trying to call genie for one month always busy day or night I leave a callback number but never get called back. Tried the internet with same results. Anybody know how to reach them for a technical question ?

I understand the manor to adjust the chain, but not the 1/4” measurement.

is that a robot or human doing the narration ? nice video

I can't sinc up the damn remotes , I followed the instructions to a T and the remotes will only close the door but not open it!🤔

The written instructions and this video are misleading on the tension of the belt. I tried two belts that broke off by tightening the belt at 1/4" above bottom of the rail. The design of the attaching rail pieces is flawed - they do not form a straight line while tightening the belt. It is impossible to hand tighten (like the video shows) to the 1/4" measurement because the connecting pieces form a curve instead of a straight line.

I installed but I cannot engage my door ☹️

do the belts last as long as chains, I wonder?

Not sure what I did wrong. I installed it then went to program it. I pushed the button to make it close. The door begins to go down but when it is close to being shut the rail starts to bend up then the door automatically opens back up.

Great, thank you, but, now that I did the down and the up control, on the open position, one side of the belt is very tight while the other side is hanging, very loose. What did I do wrong?

This damn video written by lawyer, tell how to do it.

The wires are not striped. Instructions are garbage.

The video skips the most important and confusing part of all, setting the door travel and the remotes are a total pain!

Easy to install garage opener, nightmare to program 2 remotes, wall keypad and garage wall opener. Remotes will only open garage door, closing is not working. Wireless key pad, opens garage, does not close the garage door. Garage wall unit tap to open, but you have to hold the button down to close. With the unit being half operational, and 4hours trying to program, I’m tempted to file a formal complaint with genie and return my product. Instructions suck, customer care is useless. Online instructions are pitiful. Oh claiming the remotes are “pre-programmed,” is an outright lie! I give this unit 1star!

This video is 2017 video is outdated. I suggest GENIE remove it and use 2022 installation instructions.

There chucked full of plastic bought by overhead door co about 15 yrs ago a Japanese conglomerate there logic boards overpriced help line is lioged up for 1hour or more openers are over priced there chain system is hodge podge chamberlain is twice the unit less $$ then genie ive 39 yrs repairing but no more! There emergency release carrige is cheap ass plastic very expensive to repair and easy to break there help no 800-35-genie

Great video but you got to get another narrator. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Could they have picked a guy with a less irritating voice?

bueller bueller

I give this product 1star. All remotes including wall unit and keypad that came with the unit are un programmable. Genie is crap!

Every old house and garage uses extension cord.

Genie is terrible. Bad circuits... 100's of warranty calls...

Can’t click the programming video, do you have a link to it?
