The Marantec 102277 Gearmotor is a genuine OEM replacement gearmotor assembly designed for select Marantec garage door openers. This unit integrates the drive motor with the reduction gearing that powers the opener’s rail and carriage, restoring smooth and reliable lifting when the original motor or gears become noisy, weak, or fail to move the door. It is intended for use only in operators that specify part number 102277 in their service manual or parts diagram; buyers should verify compatibility by matching the number on the opener’s parts list or the original component’s label. Common use cases include fixing symptoms such as humming with no door movement, grinding from worn gears, or intermittent operation.
Installation typically involves removing the opener cover, unplugging the unit, disconnecting the wiring harnesses, unfastening the existing gearmotor, and installing the 102277 assembly in the same orientation before reattaching connectors and hardware. After replacement, follow the Marantec instructions to set or recheck travel limits and force settings; remote controls and keypad codes generally remain paired unless the control board is replaced. For safety, disconnect power before servicing, support the door, and do not adjust door springs unless qualified. The 102277 Gearmotor is an ideal OEM repair part for restoring performance in specified Marantec belt- or chain-drive residential operators, offering a direct-fit replacement without field modifications when used in the correct models.
