The Genie 20235R.S Keypad with Ribbon Replacement for KEP-1 is a direct-fit repair component for the Genie KEP-1 exterior keyless entry system. It replaces the worn or unresponsive numeric keypad membrane and its integrated ribbon cable, restoring reliable button response and everyday usability. Designed specifically for the KEP-1 assembly, this replacement works with the existing KEP-1 housing and control board used on many legacy Genie and compatible Overhead Door garage door opener installations in residential and light commercial applications.
Installation is straightforward: open the KEP-1 enclosure, disconnect the original keypad’s ribbon from the circuit board, route and connect the new ribbon, and seat the new keypad in place per the KEP-1 service instructions. Because the entry code is stored in the KEP-1 electronics, swapping this keypad component typically does not require reprogramming. For safety, disconnect opener power before servicing and verify the ribbon connector is fully seated and oriented correctly. This part is intended only for the KEP-1 wired keyless entry and is not interchangeable with Genie Intellicode or GK-series wireless keypads.
