My steps were made in 2005 per the label on them. This made them less then 3 years old when we started having problems in the Fall of 07.
Now if you could just find a replacement plastic gear and if you carefully took apart the motor pieces without damaging anything you could esily put it all back together with a new gear. That plastic gear I guess is a less than $10 part if you could find somewhere to buy it and is certainly the weak point in the system. Key is to carefully remove cover plate without bending it. When putting it all back together I would replace the O rings and clips becasue they are cheap parts and should always be replaced when re-assembling soemthing like this to ensure a good seal and tight fit.
The problem is finding where to get the replacement plastic gear or even better a metal one that is idential to it.
Ok I understand now that the plastic gear was in the motor housing and not within the Kwikee step housing. Thanks for the clarification. You might want to start a new thread and label it so it shows for the newer steps and motors. Thanks again for giving this information it sure helps others.
