Genie 38875R1.S Circuit Board Assembly with Wall Console
The Genie 38875R1.S is a configured board and wall console service kit used on select Genie DC opener platforms where the original R1-style control board is no longer functioning correctly. The circuit board manages opener logic, motor control, limit/travel learning, Safe-T-Beam input, wall console communication, radio learning, and accessory response. Board failure can show up as a dead opener, a unit that clicks but will not run, no accessory response, travel limits that will not hold, or a wall console that does not operate correctly. Because Genie used very similar housings and board shapes across several DC drive openers, the R1 suffix is important. Do not substitute this board for R2, R3, or R4 applications unless a current Genie parts reference specifically directs that replacement.

Technician Note
The suffix after the part number matters. R1 board applications should be matched by model and original board number, not just by the plastic opener cover or drive rail style.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Check the powerhead model label for 3062, 3064, or another confirmed R1-compatible model
- Compare the original board number to the R1-related board references
- Confirm the wall console included with the kit is appropriate for the installation
- Inspect Safe-T-Beam wiring before blaming the board for close failures
- Reset travel limits and reprogram accessories after installation
Professional Advisory
Unplug the opener before removing the cover or board. If there are signs of electrical damage, shorted wiring, or repeated board failure, have the opener inspected before installing another board.
Product Questions
What does the R1 suffix mean on 38875R1.S?
The R1 suffix identifies the configured board family. It helps separate this board from R2, R3, and R4 versions used on different Genie opener model groups.
Does this replace 38334R1.S?
It is commonly used with the 38334R1.S board family where the opener model and Genie parts reference match.
Is a wall console included?
Yes. This type of 38875R1.S kit is commonly supplied with a Series II wall console, which should be installed when required by the replacement instructions.
Will this fix a door that will not close?
It may if the board is the confirmed failure, but photo eye alignment, wiring, door balance, and travel setup should be checked first.
Do accessories need to be programmed again?
Yes. After board replacement, travel limits and compatible remotes, keypads, and accessories usually need to be reset or relearned.
