What Genie says to do
- Genie says to inspect the wall button and its wire (staples can cut the insulation), replace the wall control if it is damaged, and reverse the wires at the powerhead terminals as section 3 of the owner’s manual shows.
Genie’s safety line: “If you suspect a problem with the garage door hardware or springs, contact an authorized Genie dealer or a trained door technician.”
