Reprogramming a Genie Intellicode Garage Door Repair opener involves a series of steps to reset the codes and sync the opener with a new remote control or keypad. Although the process may vary slightly depending on the model and specific features of your Genie garage door opener, the following general instructions should help you reprogram it effectively.

Please note that it’s always advisable to consult your garage door opener’s user manual for precise instructions tailored to your specific model

  1. Clear the existing codes:
    • Locate the “Learn” or “Program” button on your garage door opener motor unit. It is typically found near the antenna wire or behind a light cover.
    • Press and hold the “Learn” or “Program” button until the indicator light on the motor unit turns on and then off (usually within 30 seconds). This action erases the existing codes stored in the opener’s memory.
  2. Program the remote control:
    • Press the “Learn” or “Program” button again, but this time release it quickly. The indicator light will start blinking or stay on.
    • Within 30 seconds, press the button on your remote control that you wish to use to operate the garage door. Hold the button until the indicator light on the motor unit blinks or turns off, indicating successful programming. Repeat this step for each remote control you want to program.
  3. Program the wireless keypad (if applicable):
    • Enter the default PIN code provided in the user manual or with the keypad. It is usually a simple sequence like “1-2-3-4” or “1-2-3-4-5-6”.
    • Press and hold the “Learn” or “Program” button on the motor unit until the indicator light blinks or stays on.
    • Enter your desired PIN code on the keypad and press the “Program” button or “Enter” to confirm. The indicator light on the motor unit should blink or turn off, indicating successful programming.
  4. Test the remote control and keypad:
    • Stand within range of the garage door opener and press the programmed button on the remote control. The garage door should respond by opening or closing.
    • Enter the programmed PIN code on the wireless keypad, followed by the “Enter” button. The garage door should also respond accordingly.
  5. Repeat the process for additional devices:
    • If you have more remote controls or wireless keypads to program, follow the same steps as above, beginning with clearing the existing codes.
