Great video. Saved me $35. My remote stopped working and I replaced the battery and it still wouldn't work. I then reprogrammed it by this video and it now works. Thanks for making this informative video.
1. Press square button on opener 2. long flashing purple led 3. Press button on remote 4. Light turns solid 5. Press button on remote again 6. Lights flash blue 7. Press and release button on remote - door should open
@@GenieCompany I can't get the remotes to open the door , they only close it and I followed the instructions to a T in this video. Any advice would be helpful , maybe I'm missing something. But the wall control works fine , but you have to hold it until the door opens all the way and the same thing when closing it. Not sure if that's correct either?
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post that video. Worked like a charm, even on my very old, one button remote. I'm back in business and it saved me the time and hassle of an expensive service call.
Thanks for the instructions I haven’t been able to use my remote for over 1-1/2 years, changed the battery but still wouldn’t work, then i found this video and now my remote is working again!!
Thanks a lot! My garage door opener fell from my car when I got out one day and it stopped working. I figured I had to reprogram it and didn’t know how to do that. This video was very useful and show me how to do it. Thanks!
Thanks, here to confirm this is still helpful. My remote wasn't working as well so I changed the battery, then it stopped working at all! I could tell from my tinkering that it was still communicating with the opener but it wasn't making it actually open from the remote. Woke up early to try to figure this out and tried this again more patiently and voila! Fixed! Might still have the old battery in it now though, but maybe it needed to be reprogrammed anyway. Thanks!
ATTN: Be sure to set the travel limits before programming your remote. The opener will not allow your remote to work until this is done. We lost power, a week ago, and it de-synced with my remote. I tried to program the remote, at least 20 times (it was actually successful, each time) before realizing that I had to also go back and reset the travel limits. Cheers!
My remote stopped working. I changed the battery and still doesn’t work. No I am trying to reprogram the control but when I push the square bottom I don’t see any light turning on. I don’t know what else to do?
@@GenieCompany Why can the remote not be held too close to the head unit when programming? What will happen? How far away must it be during this process? Thank you
Hopefully this helps someone, someday. I have a Genie PowerLift 900, model 2562. When following the instructions here *exactly* as directed and seen in the video, there was no purple flashing light when I released the square button. Just a solid blue light. The unit refused to go into programming mode. I searched for hours, reading/watching at least 10 different remote programming guides, including the official user's manual. I eventually (accidentally) stumbled upon a set of instructions where step 2 included an "oh, by the way, if it stays blue...." clause. *2) The long purple LED light will start to blink purple. (Note: if the blue light stays on, go to instructions for Intellicode III below)* Very strangely, the section it refers to was titled: *For Genie IntelliG, TriloG Series built from 2009 until July 8, 2011 (Intellicode III)* (see serial # on front: first 2 digits = year, next 3 digits = day of the year) Well, _none_ of that is relevant to the product I have. The only thing that seemed to match was the part in step 1 that says "The blue light should stay lit." And here is the rest of step 1 for anyone else in my situation: *Press the square button once more and release. The long and short LED lights should start to blink purple.* Sure enough, simply pressing the square button one more time after the solid blue light did the trick. So simple, yet so frustrating.
Thank you very much!!!❤️❤️🚙🚙. It worked!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. I just recently moved into my new house with a Genie garage door without a Genie Remote!🤣🤣. Had to order the remote from Amazon 🤣🤣
I have two garage doors and wanted one per button. I accidentally programmed one button to open both doors. What do I need to do so it only opens one door per button?
My buttons are different than this video. I have the buttons on the very back of the Box and pointed away from my door. There is a chain going to and from the door.
So I have two of these remotes and can program them both with my older garage genie excelerator model. They will open and close the door just fine. The problem is when I program the 2nd remote the first will no longer open the garage door. I've tried programming multiple times on both remotes with different buttons, but I always get the same result with the previous remote no longer able to open the door. Please help!
During programming, if you press and hold the learn code button in for 30 seconds, this will clear out the memory to the receiver, which will deactivate any previously programmed remotes or keypads. When programming the second remote, skip this step, and just press and release the learn code button. Let us know if this doesn't work for you.
I have a newer genie. just installed yesterday. same remote and concept. we didn't realize that the remotes were already pre programmed. and when trying to program them to the opener we accidentally removed the remote memory from the garage opener. I was able to program one remote and also program the outdoor wireless keypad. But it won't let me program the second remote it came with. I press the setup Botton for 2 second till the blue light turns on. I release it then the long purple light begins to flash. I follow the steps and it then turns to red after about 30 seconds and the remote doesn't pair with the opener. What could be wrong if the other remote and keypad is paired and opens and closes the garage door without issue. Its very frustrating since this was the primary reason that I had a new opener installed. My last opener was old and wasn't able to read and program the remotes.
I’ve done everything perfectly right. Even changed the batteries. And it still doesn’t work. My wife’s remote works but mine won’t program. What should be done?
If you've reprogrammed, changed the batteries and the remote still isn't working, you may need a new remote. Please contact our customer support line and we can provide you further assistance 1-800-354-3643
I programmed my remote in like 30 seconds was surprised how "easy" it was but..... after programing said remote the mounted keypad stopped working & the remote only worked for like 4 days Help..... 😬
When I hold down the program button the long and round LED turn blue. I have to press the program button again to get it to flash purple. If I don't it just times out.
Great Job with Directions they were short and on target - No Problem doing Program. One point though, something should be said about one button be programmed for two openers. This is an easy mistake or Feature depending on your needs.
As long as it is an Intellicode model Genie opener you can. Do you know the model number? If not, check under the light bulb cover, if there is a learn code button to the left of the left light bulb - this remote will work. If not, I would need the model number to make sure. The model number would also be either under the light bulb cover or on the back panel of the garage door opener powerhead.
How do you program it for non-Genie garage door openers? I recently moved and no longer have the instruction manual. I could not find any G3T-A instructions beyond what is actually covered in this video. I remember the manual having instructions for programing remotes for non-Genie openers.
I have tried so many times. The opener blinks blue...then it blinks purple but it never reads the remote. I have tried the genie remote along with two generic remotes. It just stops blinking purple and then blinks red ...help! 😢
