Another Stuck Slideout

I am sure this is a beaten topic, but I am out in the force, and the dineette slide is half in-half out. Stopped on the out cycle, and is throwing codes. Read the manual, and 10 flashes means rest and veride. Did the reset and no movement. How to manually retract? Motor has a brake, and its seems the release is stuck>

Any ideas??

TIA
Andrew

My slide has two motors. I had to remove the slide control panel and hit the reset button on the backside, then press two other buttons near the reset button. The slide would move an inch then throw codes again. I had to keep repeating the Reset - two button press several times until the slide eventually closed.

Later I learned one of the motors was bad and was replaced.

My bedroom slide on my 3011 wouldnt go back in. I went inside pushed the button onbthe control panel, it would go in about an inch then stop and give me a fault code. I then went outside and pushed the side of the slide that wasnt going in so that both sides were even...ran inside the RV and repeated the process. It took about an hour to get the slide completely in. Lots of running in and out. Took it in for repair and found one of the motors was defective. It was relaced and havent had a problem again. Though Im always worried it will happen again.

Andrew

do you have the service manual with you?
did you take the switch out of the wall?
where you able to manually run the motors?
if brake is stuck on either motor, there is a picture of how to release brake
if it will not release, you will have to cut off the rubber boot and unbolt
the brake.
both brakes have to be released to manually retract room.
you will need (2) 3/4" sockets or wrench to retract the room.
better to have two people do it in tandem.
If you have enough people you could also unbolt (4 bolts each)
motors and push the room back in and then bolt back both motors.
room is heavy and you may not be able to move it that way.

I have had both motors go bad and have done this before.
If you are still stuck, PM me and I will give you my phone #
