Older Genie garage door openers use a series of dip switches to program the receiver on the motor to work with the door opener remote control. When the positions of the nine or 12 dip switches in the remote fail to match the dip switch positions on the opener, the garage door will not operate when you press the remote button. Change the dip switches in the garage door opener to a random pattern rather than placing all the switches in the up or in the down position. This can protect against thieves matching your dip switch pattern.

1

Unplug your Genie garage door opener from the electrical outlet in the ceiling. Although unplugging the opener is not necessary, it keeps a family member from accidentally opening the door during repairs.

2

Remove the screws holding the plastic lens covering the garage door light bulb. Pull the lens from the opener motor to expose the white dip switches in the upper left corner. Older Genie openers may have a separate receiver attached to the top of the motor. Pry the cover from the receiver with a small flat-head screwdriver to access the dip switches.

3

Open the battery compartment on your Genie garage door opener remote to expose the dip switches. Depending on the style, the battery cover slides off the remote, or you must remove a small screw before removing the cover.

4

Move the dip switches with the tip of an ink pen. Place each switch on the remote in either the up or down position. Match the dip switch positions on the opener motor or a separate receiver with the dip switch positions on the remote. For example, if the first three dip switches on the remote are in the down position, move the first three dip switches on the opener to the down position.

5

Replace the cover on the remote. Replace the cover on the receiver, or the lens cover on the front of the garage door opener. Plug the opener back into the outlet in the garage ceiling.
