Default Question on Gargage Door Opener

Of course, GE is not going to tell you that their sensors can be used
on other systems. How do you know it's the sensors? There is so much
that can go wrong, you have to systematically troubleshoot (maybe
you've done that) before you start replacing sensors.
Sometimes you can jump the sensor connections to test if that's the
problem. I'd check the schematics first.
good luck

An acquaintance at yesterday's neighborhood picnic asked me if I could
help him with a problem. He said his opener (make unknown right now
until he calls me to tell me) has stopped working. He bought a pair
of new Genie sensors at HD, but they didn't help. He said one lights
red okay, but the other does not light green. He called Genie and
they said you cannot use Genie sensors with other makes.

Is this true? Or, in other words, are sensors interchangeable, or can
you only use sensors on an opener of the same make? I really didn't
know, but thought I'd ask here.

Thanks
