Possible Causes
Dead remote batteries, Erased remote programming, RF interference, Failed RF receiver on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not stand under the door while testing remotes.
Steps:
- Replace batteries: Install fresh, correct-type batteries in each Genie remote.
- Reprogram remotes: Press and release the LEARN button on the opener, then press the remote button until the opener clicks or lights flash.
- Test range: Stand within a few feet of the opener when testing. If it works only very close, interference or a weak receiver is likely.
- Reduce interference: Temporarily turn off nearby LED lights, Wi-Fi routers, or other RF devices and retest.
- Replace control board: If no remotes will program or operate the opener but the wall console works, replace the Genie control board with integrated receiver.
