Genie opener with both lights off

Genie’s manual gives two meanings for these lights. Pick the one that matches what the door is doing.

Nothing is wrong, the opener is resting

Nothing wrong

The opener is waiting for its next command, and the door opens and closes as it should.

What to do: Nothing. Leave it alone.

The opener has no power, or something has stopped it

Check this first, then a pro

The opener doesn’t respond at all: both lights stay dark and pressing the button does nothing.

What to do: Check the outlet and the circuit breaker. If the opener has power and still does nothing, call a pro.
