Genie 34516R.S Inner Slide with Magnet – Chain Glide ML Garage Door Openers

The Genie 34516R.S is a genuine replacement inner slide for compatible Genie Chain Glide garage door openers.

The inner slide attaches to the opener chain and connects to the carriage assembly, transferring movement from the chain to the carriage as the garage door opens and closes.

A built-in magnet works with the opener’s magnetic up and down limit switches to help determine the correct stopping positions during door travel.

### What Is It Used For?

The inner slide forms part of the mechanical connection between the opener chain and carriage.

During operation:

Motor → Chain → Inner Slide → Carriage → Door Arm → Garage Door

As the chain moves along the rail, the inner slide transfers that movement to the carriage so the garage door can open and close.

### Built-In Magnet

The 34516R.S includes the magnet required for compatible Genie magnetic limit-switch systems.

As the carriage travels along the rail, the magnet interacts with the opener’s:

- Up / Open limit switch
- Down / Close limit switch

These switches help tell the opener when the garage door has reached its intended open or closed position.

### Common Replacement Symptoms

A worn or damaged inner slide may cause:

- Carriage does not move correctly with the chain
- Excessive play in the carriage assembly
- Door fails to travel normally
- Chain moves but carriage movement is inconsistent
- Damaged or missing magnet
- Limit-switch operation becomes unreliable
- Visible cracking or wear on the original slide

These symptoms can also result from a damaged carriage, chain, rail, limit switch, or other opener component.
