Genie 37845R.S Garage Door Opener Carriage Assembly

I know that when a motorized garage door opener fails, it's a first world problem. But... yeah, that needs to be fixed ASAP. My model of the Genie screw drive is a PowerMax 1200. I didn't follow the directions that came with the carriage. Instead, I dropped the motor from its ceiling mounts and rested it on a ladder. I then dropped the door end of the rail from the door mount. I was able to then remove the front third of the screw drive with the carriage by sliding it out from the front end of the rail. I slipped the new carriage onto the portion of the screw I had removed and stuffed the new carriage and the screw back into the rail, reversed the removal process and voila, garage door is functioning again. Much easier than the suggested process of disassembling the rail from the motor with all that that entails. Part works like a charm.

Great replacement! had to take down the whole track to install, but this was the only way to install easily. Having a second person helped by not having to climb up and down the ladder as frequent. Worked perfectly!

Exact match replacement part... Worked perfect. Door would not open without assistance. Part appeared to be slipping. Funny thing is I figured the old part was plastic inside. It wasn't. It is metal. Looks like the failure was the spring pushing the metal part up causing a weak gear connection and the slipping. Anyway, this part did the trick. Door now works fine again.

Perfect what we need to fix auto door opener

Product is spot on. No problem to install. Arrived quickly in the mail. Very happy.

It fit very well.

Metal piece wouldn't fit into molded carriage. Molded part had to be machine modified for it to fit. Used a Dremel rotary tool to remove excess plastic inside the carriage. Installed and it is working fine.

this was a perfect replacement part for a brand new genie garage door opener and complete hardware set

Ok

works well
