Bedroom slide 369RL

[longshot]

bedroom slide is starting to act up needs a little assistance going in, sometimes it will go all the way sometimes it doesn't, when it doesn't I'll usually bump it back out a little and try to get a run at it, but now when I do this one side seems to stay put while the other side moves a few inches, stop run it back in then grab the side not moving and assist it a little then it seems to travel fine, is there a separate breaker for this slide that may be getting week and in need of replacement or do you think the motors are starting to fail?

What about load on the slide? Have changed out the mattress to something much heavier or stuff stored under the bed? You may also want to check to see if all of the support rollers are turning.

My bedroom slide is the slide that doesn't seem to give us problems. The loading mentioned by Dave above seems reasonable. Also isn't there an adjustment to resynchronize the slide motors? Also, have you check to see if you are getting any error codes on the slide controller?

Each side of the slide out has it's own motor. Possibly that motor is not working. There is a cable (looks like Television coax), that runs up along side of the slide out and connects to the motor. Possibly the connection is loose. More than likely however is that the motor is defective or the motors are out time with each other. Lippert has videos on YouTube on to address this. The other thing to look at is your battery to make sure the battery is fully charged. A weak battery will cause slide out malfunctions as well.

Plugged in all the time so I wouldn't think that it is the battery, only thing under the bed is the lock box installed by Grand Design, I was hoping for something nice and simple like replace the breaker like I had to do on the other slides, I guess I I'll have to dig in a little deeper

The slides work off of 12 volts and not your plug. I assume the other slides work fine? So your battery is probably ok. I would next try to synchronize the slide motors following the procedure found on the Lippert Schwintek YouTube video there are also videos on how to access and replace the motor if you need to do that as well.

Thanks for the link Curtis I'll try it next time it's not raining

I have heard that if the slide leaks the wood can swell, this could cause the same issue.
