Pros & Cons

Pros

First replacement since installing motor originally in 2006. Luckily, it's inexpensive and relatively straightforward to replace. It is a 2 person job but it's not a hard part to replace if you can handle a ratchet or wrench.

This unit is a tad shorter than the factory unit. Wear gloves, you'll get covered in grease if everything is properly lubricated. Suggest wear gloves.

Spinning screw raising and lowering genie garage door. Opener is now quiet and operates like new. Garage door opener not lifting door screw drive chattering.

Ordered coupler, genie lube, and trolley assembly. Easy install. Installation requires separating the worm gear rail and the head unit but i installed this unit initially, so it wasn't particularly intimidating.

    The same thing but the old unit didnt work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In my case the upper limit travel switch failed and the carriage system crashed into the power head


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With the screw drive coupler installed it is designed to allow the motor to turn but not destroy the motor or the worm gear drive that raises and lowers the door


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Getting to the coupler is not easy when doing it by yourself so i decided to remove the entire assembly en masse and bring it to the garage floor

    Also noticed that some teeth on the door trolley mechanism were broken off and this metal is somewhat of a sacrificial design also


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With all this in mind i removed the power head removed the damaged coupler and while at it replaced the trolley with a new assembly

    Prior to operating this i lubed the track in several spots using lubriplate low temp grease
