I have Power Gear but I dont have stop points. 05 Fleetwood. I have to stop mine by releasing the button.
When my kitchen slide failed, it would go out about 6" and stop, it would slowly go back in.
Dealer said it was a weak motor. They are DC motors so maybe the brushes wear out or the gears get jammed up.
Take a close look at your electric motor(s) on your slide. If there is more than two wires you most likely have stop points. The larger Powergear slide controllers use encoders on the motors that count the revolutions to determine the stop points. It's the people\"RVmechanics" that don't understand slides that can do MAJOR damage.
Well, your post is not accurate. When you have 4 wires instead of 2 on a PG slide motor, Those 2 extra wires are for the BRAKE on the motor. NOT a counter/encoder. IF you have a slide with 2 motors, they sometimes(not always) do use a counter type encoder to keep the slide room to track evenly when operating. The system we are talking about here is a 1 motor system. Doug
