A & E one step power awning motor

We have had problems with the A & E power awning -- it will extend just fine but getting it to come back in is another issue. It will begin coming in but very very slowly for a while, then it eventually takes off and comes in at normal speed, usually. sometimes, my husband taps on the motor with a mallet to get it going. He and his buddy have had the motor apart and cleaned and oiled it but we are back to the same problem. Is there a spring or something on the other end of the awning tube that could be rusted, sticking. It acts as though it was sticking for a while and finally overcomes that. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Are you sure it isn't wound in the opposite direction? That is the symptom of having done so.
    In other words, if you hold the extend button too long it will begin rolling back up in the wrong direction.
