    I am a 41 year old first time home owner and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because my male fragility was in top form over here. You saved me both money and shame. I appreciate you! 😂🙌🏼

    Just saw your video, had the same problem. Power went out so I had to disconnect the door from the opener and couldn't figure it out. Mine actually swivels instead of going up and down, but same principle. Thank you so much for sharing, super helpful!!!

    Me and my dad were just sitting in my garage dealing with this issue. I begged him to let me open RUclips and 10 minutes later you had helped us fix our problem.
    Thank you thank you thank you x100000000000!

    Your video was the third one I watched and guess what at 3:02 I paused the video, stood up and managed to "fix" my garage motor to re-engage. You are a genius!!!! As a woman I feel so good, thanks to you😍🤩😘

    Instructions online and in the manual were sparse at the very most. We kept thinking all we needed to do was to yank the rope toward the door (or the other way, if you read the unhelpful Genie instructions). As soon as you moved the carriage, it was clear what our issue was and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing us how to get things re-aligned. Signed, 2 70-year-old engineers LOL.

    You're awesome! Thank you so much for the video! I love when people help people with common things like this. After watching several videos that told me I should be yanking back and up on the cord, your video was the actual fix. Who would have thought it was a simple as gently pulling down to make sure that piece locked in place. THANK YOU!!

    I am mechanically challenged! My power went out this morning, and I was able to disengage the door and get my car out and shut the door again but couldn't get it to re-engage when I got home. Even had my son on facetime with no luck. YOUR video helped me fix it. Thanks so much

    Adding to the many glowing comments - I searched the internet high and low, read the Genie manual and THIS was the thing that helped me "fix" my garage door!! Thank you, thank you! You easily saved us $200 for a handyperson to show up and do 3 minutes of work.

    Genie should be ashamed of themselves for not putting clearer instructions on how to re-engage the door. I tried all sorts of things and luckily found your video. While my door is a bit different, I saw what I had to do and it worked. Can't thank you enough!

    You saved the day and a service call. My parents power went off and their door became disengaged after a manual pull. My Dad is 78 and terminally ill and was trying to fix it this morning. I came over to help and said let me check RUclips for a tutorial- sure enough and it worked . Thank you so much.

    Thank you so much!!! Like you said, the white part has to latch so I looked for the white thing and let it run. AND MAGIC!!!! It worked. No other video explains it like you did. You may want to redo it and title it "Reengaging garage door doesn't work. Look for the white thing" or something like that. You were the 5th and final video.🎉🎉🎉

  • @chriscarson7384
    @chriscarson7384 Год назад

    THANK YOU for this video. Even though my opener is a different model, your video helped me figure out what to do. The men who installed my garage door and the opener didn't even include the little tag on the release pull, and there are no instructions taped to the inside of the door itself. It's sad that we have to go online to get instructions about very expensive items that should have been fully explained when installed!

  • @johnlord4557
    @johnlord4557 2 года назад +2

    This was VERY helpful for us. Ours had a complication in that the installer had set the upper stop limit too high and the carriage latch would not move far enough away from the motor to quite reach the door catch even with the door all the way up.
    The chain would only move 3 inches either way and then stop. But then I saw the down arrow button on the motor and got the chain to move far enough to engage the latch, but still needed to reset the up and down limits. So I downloaded the manual for our Genie 7035 and completed steps 1 through 4 to reprogram the down and up limits (steps 1 & 2) and save them and then check the force setting and reverse test (steps 3 & 4) and now the door operates properly. The backup battery was fine, so I didn't need to reprogram any of the remotes because the opener had remembered those, including the wireless Home-link one in my 2008 Honda Odyssey. But I LOVED how clearly YOUR video showed me that turnbuckle that needed to connect with the door catch!

  • @inhabitantofearth
    @inhabitantofearth 2 месяца назад

    OMG! THANK YOU FOR THIS!! This video helped fix my problem! I thought I was going to have to call someone to rip me off to come and fix it 😅 What I was doing wrong was not realizing that the white part (mine is black) needed to reengage. I was pressing the garage door opener, and I heard the motor but thought it wasn't working because the door wasn't opening right away. But I just needed to give it time to reengage with the door. I'm so happy I could fix this on my own with your help! Thank you SO much!!!
    The reason I had to pull the emergency cord in the first place was because I realized one of the sensors were misaligned. I must've been hitting every time I moved my recycling bin.

    👏🎉 👏 many thanks for sharing your experience and taking the time to record a video. I watched many many videos and none talked about the carriage. Before Milton hurricane I disengaged it for manual operation. It seems , at some point in time, I must have tried operating from the wall console hence the separation of carriage. I love it that a young woman solved my issue.❤

  • @lizr.2235
    @lizr.2235 Год назад +1

    I will add that on my Genie garage door opener, the manual pull foam locking mechanism actually turns sideways when you pull the rope to manually open the door. So when you need to lock it back in place in the chain, you have to turn the black plastic part horizontal so it will lock in place.
