LiftMaster 41A3589-3 Belt Assembly Kit for 7 ft Doors
The LiftMaster 41A3589-3 is a one piece full belt assembly replacement kit for select LiftMaster and Chamberlain belt drive residential garage door openers used on 7 ft door applications.
This belt is part of the opener rail drive system. It connects the motor drive system to the trolley/carriage so the opener can move the garage door smoothly and quietly.
What This Part Does
The belt assembly transfers motor movement through the rail to the trolley. A damaged or worn belt can cause slipping, chattering, jerky door travel, a door that will not move, or visible belt separation.
Before replacing the belt, check the carriage, sprocket, pulley, rail sections, and door balance. A heavy, binding, or poorly balanced door can damage a new belt quickly.

Technician Note
Do not order a belt assembly by opener head style alone. The same opener family may be sold with different rail lengths, and the belt must match the rail and door height.
If the old belt failed suddenly, inspect the belt sprocket, pulley, trolley, rail alignment, and garage door balance before installing the replacement.
Before Ordering, Confirm

- Garage door height and rail setup require a 7 ft belt assembly

Professional Advisory
Disconnect power before servicing the opener rail. Keep hands clear of the belt, trolley, pulley, and sprocket when the opener is powered.
