What to do if Genie Garage Door Opener doesn't work with wall control?
If your Genie Garage Door Opener doesn't respond to the wall control, try the following: * Turn Sure-Lock™ OFF. * Check the power source by plugging a lamp into the outlet used for the powerhead. If the lamp works, the power source is OK. If not, check the fuse or circuit breaker. * If the power source is working, check the connections at the powerhead terminals and at the wall console. * Inspect the wiring for any reversed, broken, or cut wires. Repair or replace any damaged wires, as staples can sometimes cut the insulation and short the wires.
