How do I find replacement for my very old genie garage opener ?

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011
Questioner asked:


My genie garage opener is broken I need to find replacement for it. The remote is very old, the only information I have are the front says “Alliance Genie” and it has 9 dip switch.
I cannot access the motor, since I cannot open my garage (the remote is the only opener)
Will any 9/12 dip switch (non intelligence) genie garage door replacement work ?

Thanks.

Ezekiel97 asked:


the same thing happens if the garage is either fully closed or fully open. It will move about 4 inches and then just start making wining noises and it will try to keep going down but it seems like something is stopping it.
the noise is coming from the opener.

How to remedy power outlet for garage door opener being too far away from opener itself?

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011
J. asked:


I have a standard 7-foot garage door, but my garage is over 13 feet tall. Therefore, my garaged door opener is suspended several feet from the garage ceiling. The power outlet for the garage door opener is installed in the ceiling directly above the opener. However, it seems that garage door openers do not come with power cords long enough to reach my power outlet, and the owners manuals warn against using extension cords. Also, replacing the power cord on the opener will void the warranty on the opener. Any ideas how to remedy the situation?
