Genie 38001R4.S Circuit Board Assembly (IntelliG 1200) Genie Models 4024
The Genie 38875R4.S kit replaces the main control electronics on select Genie 1200 series chain and belt drive residential openers. The board controls travel setup, motor output, Safe-T-Beam input monitoring, accessory programming, and wall-console communication. It is a common repair part when the opener will not program, loses travel settings, has a failed logic board, or no longer responds correctly to controls after other causes have been ruled out.
Correct board selection is important because Genie used several similar DC opener boards across different model families. The R4 board family is for the 4022/4024/4042 platform, not the 3022/3024/3042 R3 platform or the 3062/3064 R1 screw-drive platform. Confirm the opener model and original board number before ordering.
