Possible Causes

Opener mounted directly to drywall or thin framing, Missing rubber isolation pads, Loose mounting hardware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use a stable ladder and have a helper support the opener if loosening mounting hardware.

Steps:

  • Inspect mounting: Ensure the Genie powerhead is attached to solid ceiling joists or angle iron, not just drywall.
  • Add isolation: Install rubber isolation pads or vibration dampers between the opener and mounting brackets.
  • Tighten hardware: Secure all bolts and screws on the mounting straps and header bracket.
  • Test: Run the opener and listen for reduced vibration transmission.
