I show how to reset a Genie Intellicode garage door opener and program the garage door remotes. Check out more home improvement tips on our weekly podcast itunes.apple.c...
Thank you. My garage door had been randomly opening, which leads me to believe someone in my neighborhood has the same code and opener. Thank God for my neighbors
Perfect. You could have pressed the remote to see it didn't work. I am going to reset all mine now. I just bought my house. Woman only gave me 1 remote. (Makes me wonder where her husband's went). She is recently widowed.. Too many people helping her had keys and code to garage. I feel ok doing this. You just saved me peace of mind, A Lot Of MONEY. I was ready to replace opener.
Quick anti-theft tip. After I restored a classic racing kart, thieves broke in to my garage and took it-leaving a couple $25K motorcycles untouched. Huh? Anyway, they broke in by drilling a hole in the garage door, and then pulling the garage-door release cord using a hooked coat hanger or something similar. The fix: just clip off the silly red barrel hanging from the cord. You'll still be able to release the door from inside, but thieves won't be able to hook the barrel and open the door.
I would have never even thought. I’ve been having some troubles, not been able to figure it out but since reading your comment, went to inspect and now I know. Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much a GREAT video. Helpful, useful, to the point, no life or history lesson, just a proper video about what it is supposed to be about. You have no idea how rare that is. Thank you so much.
to do more than one Remote take the second remote and click it 3 times while the door opener is in that 30 second window mode. I could not make them configure simultaneously, it has to be one at a time. Thanks for the video!
This is exactly what I was wondering. My second remote is lost/stolen but how do I know that it no longer works? So just to clarify, any additional remotes need to also be clicked within the same 30 second reprogramming period right? If you did the second remote in a later 30 second period, the first one would then be de-activated right?
@@barryinciong6822 how do I know that it no longer works? You dont, i would say it would still work because the batteries seem to last quite awhile. any additional remotes need to also be clicked within the same 30 second reprogramming period right? thats a safe assumption. the first one would then be de-activated right? I believe so because the code changes after that 30 seconds.
Yes, you want to use an extension cord that matches or exceeds the amp rating for safety. An undersized cord could potentially be a fire hazard. This garage wasn't built with a dedicated outlet for the garage door opener.
Worked great! I needed to remove all programmed remote on my very old Genie garage door opener because my wife’s SUV that had its Homelink programmed to operate it was totalled and was taken away. However, it seems that that Homelink still occupied one of the spots in the limited number of programmable spots bec when I program our new SUV’s Homelink to work, the remote wireless wall pad will not work and when I reprogram the wall pad, the SUV’s homelink does not work. So I thought I needed to remove all programmed devices and start fresh and thanks to your video, all the programmable devices now work.
Quick question, how did you program your Genie garage to your truck, ive tried different ways but nothing seems to work. I have a Genie just like the one on the video and my truck is a 2020 sierra, please help
@@le0725 I followed my new SUV’s Homelink programming instructions. At first it didn’t work but it turns out my garage opener has a rotating code so there were additional steps to do for it. Can’t remember off the top of my head what I did but it was all in the instruction manual for the car.
Do I have to reset/errase all programed remotes first, then program? I can’t just program an additional remote? I just wanted to add a third remote, but it doesn’t seem to program a third one.
Reprogrammed mine, Like you said. Cleared the codes then pressed the remote 3 times. After that, when I press the remote button the red led on the opener flicker but the opener won't come on. By using the wall switch is the only way the opener will work.
idk if its my remote because it has been messed up for a while but i was trying to reapir after i erased the code, and it just kept blinking. did not pair at all. i was gonna get a new remote but i was wondering if you guys had any tips (genie part #2060L - 07)
I have a Genie model H6000A. One remote is jammed and no longer usable. I have a new Genie remote. When I push the learn button, the red light does not illuminate. When I push the button on the new remote, the learn red light blinks about twice a second while the remote button is depressed and goes off when the remote button is released. However, the new remote does not work to operate the opener. This is the issue I wish you would have addressed.
This may be a dumb question, but does it matter which of the buttons you press 3 times? Because before I replace my battery, the left one would open my garage...you pressed the middle button to open yours
I have two garage doors and wanted one per button. I accidentally programmed one button to open both doors. Is this what I need to do so it only opens one door per button? I have two remotes in two vehicles. Will I have to reprogram both?
Hi, I would contact Genie and ask what remotes are compatible. Check out some home improvement tips in our e-books www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2KW1FQ9
Can you please mention the name of remote control for this garage operner!! I have similar one but can’t find its remote! I just ordered one so its not working and its very frustrating me
I purchased two after market remotes (so my kids have one each for their cars) which are compatible to my Genie garage door opener (old style 1997-2005) Excellerator. When I program the new remotes, the keypad no longer works but the new remotes do. When I reprogram the keypad, the NEW remotes no longer work. The two older remotes are not effected.

Genie says specifically not to use an extension cord to power your unit. But great video. It helped!
Yes, you want to use an extension cord that matches or exceeds the amp rating for safety. An undersized cord could potentially be a fire hazard. This garage wasn't built with a dedicated outlet for the garage door opener.
Short and sweet! A different video took over 5 min to communicate the same info. Thank you!

What remote did you use?
This may be a dumb question, but does it matter which of the buttons you press 3 times? Because before I replace my battery, the left one would open my garage...you pressed the middle button to open yours
Hi, there are quite a few new openers for Genie. I would give them a call for your model. I've found most companies to be very helpful.
to program remotes do the red and green electric eyes on bottom have to be on. If there not on what is problem
I have two garage doors and wanted one per button. I accidentally programmed one button to open both doors. Is this what I need to do so it only opens one door per button? I have two remotes in two vehicles. Will I have to reprogram both?
Your garage door opener look exact the same as mine but different name, I have blue max and I need a extra remote but can't find one

Hi do you have a full installation video for the garage door opener?
Hi, here is an old video that might give you an overview of the steps. czcams.com/video/Je0ldQLMAmU/video.html
Where can I find the year of the model? Thanks
I purchased two after market remotes (so my kids have one each for their cars) which are compatible to my Genie garage door opener (old style 1997-2005) Excellerator. When I program the new remotes, the keypad no longer works but the new remotes do. When I reprogram the keypad, the NEW remotes no longer work. The two older remotes are not effected. I erased the keypad memory by holding the, PRO, #6, and up/down arrow. This did not work either. I did NOT erase the memory on the unit yet by holding down the LEARN Button. Any Ideas?
Same problem here

@@edwardmurray2958 I believe I had to erase the memory stored on main unit. Can’t remember exactly how but type in your brand & model for instructions. This worked for me and I have four remotes and the keypad all working together.
Actually I just read my old response, I had to hold in the LEARN button to reprogram everything…good luck
@@bomberita2008 I had to erase memory on main unit by holding in the LEARN button. Then reprogram the keypad and remotes; hope this helps.
What model are this opener?
My neighbor has an ancient Genie CM7500 and I swear there's no button or light. It has 10 mini switches. She lost the remote. What now??

No go for me😫
Uh. 2010s screw drive.
Please add the word "Intellicode" to your video's title; otherwise people will think it's for ANY Genie opener - like I did.
Thanks, good tip.
