Troubleshooting Chart
What is Happening Why? What Should Be Done?
Slide-out doesn't move
when switch is pressed.
Restriction or obstruction
inside or outside of unit. Check for and clear obstruction.
Low battery voltage, blown
fuse, defective wiring.
Check battery voltage and charge if needed.
Find and check fuse, replace if blown. Check
battery terminals and wiring. Look for loose,
disconnected or corroded connectors.
Excessive slide-out drag. Check that transit bars are removed.
Power unit runs, but
slide-out does not move.
Motor turns, slide-out does
not move.
Gear key is broken or lost. Replace gear
driveassembly.
Broken gear on drive shaft. Replace gear drive assembly.
Broken gear in gearbox. Replace motor/gearbox assembly.
Bad motor or gearbox. Replace motor/gearbox assembly.
Slide-out starts to move,
then stops.
Low battery voltage, blown
fuse, defective wiring.
Check battery voltage and charge if needed.
Find and check fuse, replace if blown. Check
battery terminals and wiring. Look for loose,
disconnected or corroded connectors.
Obstruction of slide-out
inside or outside. Check for and clear obstruction.
Slide-out chatters
duringoperation.
Teeth on gear drive broken
or worn. Replace gear drive assembly.
Teeth on inner rail broken
and worn. Replace inner rail assembly.
Troubleshooting
The LCI Above Floor Slide-out (Vertical Motor) system is only one of four inter-related slide-out system
components. These four components are:
• Chassis
• Slide-out room
• Unit
• LCI Above Floor Slide-out (Vertical Motor) system
Each component needs to function correctly with the others or misalignment problems will occur.
Every unit has its own unique build, or "personality," so what may work to fix one unit may not work on
another—even if the symptoms appear to be the same.
When something restricts room travel, system performance will be unpredictable. It is very important
that slide rails, rack and pinion be free of contamination and allowed to travel freely the full distance or
“STROKE.” Debris build-up during travel is an example of the type of contamination that may occur.
When beginning to troubleshoot the system, make sure the battery is fully charged, there are no visible
signs of external damage to the actuator, motor or rails and that the motor is wired properly and all
connections are secure.
You can adjust slide-out extension by modifying the position of the rack gear on the slide floor rail to the
pinion gear on the gear assembly.
During troubleshooting, changing, altering or adjusting one thing may affect something else. Make sure
any changes do not create a new problem.
