My opener was so painfully loud that we stopped using the garage. We were looking at new garage doors for $4,000.The new carriage cost $20.00. I did the repair in 15 minutes and it worked perfectly and quietly. THANK YOU!
you might want to have the spring tension checked if its not set right it will put a lot of strain on the teeth making it fail quickly, also the motor.
Thanks for the refresher! Great detail and explanations. I did do this 15 years ago but not much left in the memory bank. This time I could have gotten the carriage free from Genie (lifetime warranty) but last time it was $6 for FedX ground shipping. Decided to go with next day from Amazon for $25 (genuine part) although the aftermarket there is $15. Otherwise I would have been the automatic part of the garage door opener.
Thank you sir, I was about to start this replacement and thought, geez been 10 yrs, how is this done again for real so I don't start taking $h!t off that I didn't have too 😂

THANK YOU, so much as a single woman with no money this was a real blessing, found this video after praying a short prayer after watching many others videos with no luck, all glory to GOD.
Mine just started that noise last night. With mine though when opening the garage it stops right before reaching the unit and makes that grinding noise. I pushed back on the carriage and can see there’s a .25” space of the screw that’s missing teeth/threads. Do I have to replace the entire track?
I had to replace the limit stop. The little paper clip lookin arm that engages the stop was broken off. Still making that noise so I’m pretty sure it’s the carriage, I’ll replace that tomorrow. Thanks for posting your help videos!
Hi, the craftsman’s trolley has another rack (their terminology) that’s actually touching the screw, does the genie have that also? Craftsman sells the trolley and rack as separate parts, trying to save money.
@@RobbersVblog I downloaded the manual, the craftsman has aoother part, it’s a toothed rail that meshes with the screw gear/rod, and the trolley attaches to that.
This was helpful, however on mine the bar with the worm drive ends closer to the wall and the big spring is higher up. No amount of going to the side, up or down, will allow the new trolly to get slid in. seems like id have to drop the entire thing from the motor and the wall in order to slide it in. Sigh..
also check your track you might be able to just remove a couple of bolts in the middle of it to disassemble it from there instead of dropping the motor..
I have similar genie screw drive opener. My problem is it gos up half way or so then stops. Like it gets hot and turns off. Is that something I can fix??
I am sure The ( "thank you so much" is appreciated )..... but honestly "we all" who learned and took advantage from the video , should compensate him at least with $5 or $10 bucks ( it ABSOLUTELY worth it ) just by the amount of money he helped us to save in repairs ............ ( with the $50 dollars "show Up Fee" and the $100 repair ) it could have been at least $150.00 ) to call someone to repair the garage door .........So let's show some real appreciation .....who knows, he may show us some shower valve replacement too :) and save us a plumber$$ visit
I ordered the new part and did everything as shown but the carriage won’t engage into the drive. Like when you flip the metal peice it doesn’t stay. Help
you might have to push up on the piece to make sure its all the way up then move the door a bit it might not be in the right place to engage. Also make sure its facing the right way and on the track right. it should work if everything is right.
Make sure you slid the carriage over the end of the track and it slides freely when the engagement lever is pulled down.. the lever should be facing the motor.. then push up on the lever till it’s all the way up and it should engage.. if not try hitting the button to turn the screw while you push up on the lever just make sure the door is not attached when you do that…let me know if this helps!!
have the spring tension checked..its probably not set right causing extra stress on the teeth. you should be able to lift and lower the door with only 1-2 fingers if its to heavy to lift or comes down fast the springs are not set right. Also make sure it is greased!!
This video was exactly what I needed to fix my daughter's garage door, thanks for posting this.
You are welcome!! Glad it helped!!

Thanks for the walk through. I couldn't believe it, but ours only lasted about a year and a 1/2 before I need to replace it!
you might want to have the spring tension checked if its not set right it will put a lot of strain on the teeth making it fail quickly, also the motor.
Our genies were installed in 1999. Guess I’ll order a pair! Thanks.

Is that an 2008 accord
Do you have to grease the new trolley before installing?
Not really but it wouldnt hurt to put a little on it!
The part that you pull down to engage it is missing on mine. Is that replaceable ?
It’s part of the carriage assembly so you have to buy the part..
Mine just started that noise last night. With mine though when opening the garage it stops right before reaching the unit and makes that grinding noise. I pushed back on the carriage and can see there’s a .25” space of the screw that’s missing teeth/threads.
Do I have to replace the entire track?
not really, just move the limit stop to before where the screw is damaged.
I had to replace the limit stop. The little paper clip lookin arm that engages the stop was broken off. Still making that noise so I’m pretty sure it’s the carriage, I’ll replace that tomorrow. Thanks for posting your help videos!

The Genie one snaps up into the screw...not sure how the Craftsman one works..
@@RobbersVblog I downloaded the manual, the craftsman has aoother part, it’s a toothed rail that meshes with the screw gear/rod, and the trolley attaches to that.

sounds like your unfortunately gonna have to drop the motor to slide it back to clear and get it off..
also check your track you might be able to just remove a couple of bolts in the middle of it to disassemble it from there instead of dropping the motor..
I have similar genie screw drive opener. My problem is it gos up half way or so then stops. Like it gets hot and turns off. Is that something I can fix??
Could be a faulty limit switch..also check to make sure your spring is not broke...disengage the door and see if you can raise and lower it easily..

Replaced ours with this and it only lasted a month!! Why ?! It’s back to making that noise again.
have the spring tension checked..its probably not set right causing extra stress on the teeth. you should be able to lift and lower the door with only 1-2 fingers if its to heavy to lift or comes down fast the springs are not set right. Also make sure it is greased!!
