Wireless Keypad: The wireless key pad is mounted to the wall right next to the garage, and it allow keyless opening of the door. They are a great solution for people who want to be able to access the garage (Or the house in case the garage is attached without a key, simply by using 4 digits code that can be choose at the installation of new Genie garage opener. If you are not sure what the keypad is, look at one of the garages in your neighborhood in Milwaukee County and you will see in most of them a keypad mounted to the wall at the entrance to the garage.

Why the safety sensor light is blinking?

 Genie safety feature troubleshooting: As we explained earlier, every automated garage door, whether it is equipped with Genie opener or not must include a safety feature. A flashing “Safe T Beam LED” indicator means a malfunction has occurred and it need to be addressed in order for the opener to operate safely again. The first thing you should do is to make sure that there is no dirt covering the lenses. Second, check if the wire is damaged, cut or disconnected. If the LED indicator continues to flash, although you checked and saw that everything is in place, see your owner's manual for a list of possible causes or contact a local garage door service provider in Milwaukee County WI who will come and fix the issue for you.


 Why the opener isn’t closing the door all the way?


If the door is closing part of the way, and then reverse to open position (Unlike garage doors that close partly and stuck in the middle). Check for and clear any obstructions at the door’s path. If there is nothing at the door’s path, check to see if the laser sensors are working properly. If there is a blinking light, see the paragraph above for troubleshoot. If the problem continue, hire a local expert to fix the issue.


Why Genie opener running, but the door is not moving?

This might be one of the simplest issues to solve, and for that you do not need to hire local garage door expert in Milwaukee County to come and repair it for you. Your garage door might got disconnected from the opener. Check that the emergency-release cord has not been pulled. If indeed this is the reason why the opener is running but the door isn’t moving, you will need to reengage the carriage. The method to reengage the carriage depends on the model of garage door opener you own. See your owner's manual for more details, or watch a DIY tutorial on how to engage Genie garage opener.
