The product, in the report: Genie PowerLift 900 screw drive garage door opener.
I purchased a Genie PowerLift 900 garage door opener on Sept. 15, 2012, and installed it a couple of weeks later. The unit passes its safety tests and worked fine until last week when it exceeded its down limit and reversed twice. I reprogrammed the down limit, and it worked okay a few more times until it again exceeded its down limit. However, this time the door did not reverse, and the down force continued until (1) the shuttle went to the very end of the screw drive and was possible damaged, (2) the arm connecting the shuttle to the door was twisted out of shape, and (3) the small bracket screwed to the door where the arm connects was bent. Then the motor shut off.
The Genie tech I talked to today mentioned the possibility of a “bad board.” I (too late, of course) read a reference to a “bad board” in a review of this product on Amazon. If there are indeed bad boards in these openers, the product should be a candidate for recall, should it not? There’s a real hazard here.
