Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does GE-27251A.S differ from the metal thrust washer GE-27087A.S?

A: GE-27251A.S uses a polymer material suited for the PMX 500-IC/B and IC250/B series, while GE-27087A.S is a metal washer for the Chain Glide series. They are not interchangeable.

Q: Does GE-27251A.S replace GE-27087A.S?

A: No. GE-27251A.S is not confirmed to supersede GE-27087A.S. Each is designed for its own specific model family.

Q: What function does the poly thrust washer serve?

A: The polymer thrust washer absorbs axial motor loads and helps secure the motor assembly while reducing noise and vibration in compatible models.

Q: What are symptoms of a worn poly thrust washer?

A: Check for cracking, deformation, or unusual motor noise and vibration during door travel, which can indicate washer wear or failure.

Q: How do I confirm GE-27251A.S is the correct part for my opener?

A: Verify your model number matches PMX 500-IC/B or IC250/B before ordering, as the polymer washer is not cross-compatible with Chain Glide or other series.
