This video shows how to disengage and reengage a Genie automatic garage door opener. I couldn't find any directions or helpful YouTube videos that were specific to my PMX500IC/B opener. This trick works!

  • Instructions online and in the manual were sparse at the very most. We kept thinking all we needed to do was to yank the rope toward the door (or the other way, if you read the unhelpful Genie instructions). As soon as you moved the carriage, it was clear what our issue was and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for showing us how to get things re-aligned. Signed, 2 70-year-old engineers LOL.
  • We looked up manuals, men telling us on YouTube and none of it made sense nor worked. But you my friend told me very simply and plainly how to do it 👏👏👏 Sincere thanks 😊

    I am a 41 year old first time home owner and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because my male fragility was in top form over here. You saved me both money and shame. I appreciate you! 😂🙌🏼
  • Thank you for this video! There's usually some guy explaining this kind of stuff and I think it's the coolest thing to see a young woman telling us how to fix something. And I just went and fixed my garage door, thanks!!
  • Yes the only video that worked saved from a call out fee of $75 😀

    Me and my dad were just sitting in my garage dealing with this issue. I begged him to let me open YouTube and 10 minutes later you had helped us fix our problem. Thank you thank you thank you x100000000000!
  • You are the true hero of garage door opener repair. After watching multiple other videos my door still wasn’t working but you had the answer. Thank you so much!
  • It was so obvious after your video. Sometimes I forget to "look up"! Thank you Julie. You're a gem!
  • Your tutorial is still helping people out! I watched several that did not work for me, until I found yours!! Thank you so very much!!!👏
  • Thanks Julie Mae, most folks would have went on their merry way after figuring it out. Thanks again for taking the time to record this video.

    Genie should be ashamed of themselves for not putting clearer instructions on how to re-engage the door. I tried all sorts of things and luckily found your video. While my door is a bit different, I saw what I had to do and it worked. Can't thank you enough!

    I am an 85 year old widow and want to thank you so much. After disengaging my opener due to a storm outage, I just could not fix my door. Your video was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!!!

    Thank you - you saved me a service call. Your description was so helpful by explaining the parts that needed to be in alighnment. Thanks again.

    You're awesome! Thank you so much for the video! I love when people help people with common things like this. After watching several videos that told me I should be yanking back and up on the cord, your video was the actual fix. Who would have thought it was a simple as gently pulling down to make sure that piece locked in place. THANK YOU!!
  • @misstorresivette
    Thank you so much!!! Like you said, the white part has to latch so I looked for the white thing and let it run. AND MAGIC!!!! It worked. No other video explains it like you did. You may want to redo it and title it "Reengaging garage door doesn't work. Look for the white thing" or something like that. You were the 5th and final video.🎉🎉🎉

    I am mechanically challenged! My power went out this morning, and I was able to disengage the door and get my car out and shut the door again but couldn't get it to re-engage when I got home. Even had my son on facetime with no luck. YOUR video helped me fix it. Thanks so much

    Your video was the third one I watched and guess what at 3:02 I paused the video, stood up and managed to "fix" my garage motor to re-engage. You are a genius!!!! As a woman I feel so good, thanks to you😍🤩
  • @ScipioAdriaticus
    Thanks a million for this video! Following the instructions that I had weren't all that helpful, but you showed what the exact problem was and how to fix it. You saved me some serious money here!

    You are the BEST! I watched several guys trying to teach this and you were the only video I watched that actually got it working!
