I did, but stopped after that post. I am trying to find it. Also had a post about holding the IN and OUT button until the motors amp’d out. There was a cut and paste right from manufacturer that said that exact process.

We had to replace the entire mechanism. Gears motors wires. These have continual problems from corrosion to wires being pinched to the slide out box being racked with movement and miss aligning gears. I would not recommend replacing with schwintek.
Also, just to clarify, we regularly clean, lubricate, all gears all rails and there’s no electrical issue. We had the same problems if we were plugged into full power, or if we are running on battery. The others schwintek slide and our main slide that is rack and pinion operated flawlessly. So I had nothing to do with the electrical.
If you need to replace yours I would highly recommend replacing the schwintek system with the Vroom system. If you search YouTube for schwintek, slide replacement and look for “all about RV’s” YouTube channel, you will find plenty of information about the new system from Vroom. It is a much better design in every way.
Unfortunately, I did not learn about it until after I had replaced my system. But the next time I have problems, I will definitely upgrade to the Vroom system.

Similar problem here. I found a workaround that involves tilting the trailer in favor of a downward slide as part of the process.

I know you have lubricated it but check Darren out at My RV Works if you have not already. He has tons of videos and works on this stuff.

I would check battery state first and make sure the battery is fully charged or even plug in while moving the slides and see if that makes a difference. I would also check the electric motors. They have been known to go bad without catastrophic failure.

I had (having) the same issues as OP with my 2021 Imagine 3250BH with Schwintek Slide on the door side (kitchen). Told my original dealer about it when it was still under warranty and they said they looked at it and it was working fine and left it at that. Half way out (or in) it stops, if I reverse it a little bit, I can get it to come in a couple of inches. I repeat that procedure many times and can get it to come in all the way, but it takes a while. Last October I had a different dealer look at it and they said there was an alignment issue and a part (GD part number: 640819) needs to be replaced. The part costs $1140.30 and has been on order since then, but they have not gotten it yet. They told me that very soon a failure would happen and I would not get it in, if out or out, if in. Plan on heading to AZ in a couple of weeks and I would like to get this fixed.

Have you tried lubing it as per Lippert old video? I know they no longer want us to lube these slides made after 2019 (I believe) but it worked for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXw9I_DoAvI
I replied this on another thread. Since day one ours was not working smoothly and would really struggle more so when on battery only. I thought it was because of the cheap dealer installed group 24 battery. So I would leave it either plugged in to the running TV or on shore power. Last fall, while on a trip it wouldn't close past 6in. I tried everything. While DW was looking up a mobile tech I decided to lube it as per Lippert's old video. Not only did it work, the slide runs in and out better then it ever did.
Maybe try lubing it and see.Steph & Lise
