The Genie 27096A.S Drive Gear is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for select Genie residential garage door openers. This internal drive gear transmits motor torque to the sprocket assembly, moving the chain or belt to open and close the garage door. It is a common wear item; replacing a worn or stripped gear restores smooth, reliable travel and reduces grinding or slipping symptoms. Use this model-specific Genie drive gear when your owner’s manual or parts diagram calls out part number 27096A.S (also written as 27096AS).
Intended for compatible Genie chain and belt drive operators, this replacement part supports standard residential applications. For safety, disconnect power to the opener and disengage the door with the emergency release before service. Typical installation involves opening the operator housing, removing the retaining hardware, swapping the gear, applying manufacturer-approved lubricant, and reassembling. After installation, reprogram travel limits and force settings per the Genie instructions. Always verify compatibility by matching the part number 27096A.S to your opener’s model-specific parts list or contacting Genie support with your opener’s model and serial information.
