Just thinking, is it possible those motors get damaged on the way OUT? We run it till the slide's fully extended but hold the switch a little longer? That would pass current through a stalled motor and surely heat it up even more than running it with slide in motion.
I like that thought. The switch is supposed to be held a few seconds. But I've had an RV salesperson tell me to hold it for up to 30 seconds. And another one say to hold it for 10 seconds.
As I understand it, these motors have revolution counters. So it would only require 2 or 3 seconds max to ensure they've reached the stop point.
You do NOT have the same system. The Op's system has NO counter. The Scwintek dual motor slide system has the counter. You ALWAYS hold the slide switch for 10 seconds after it fully extends or retracts on your type dual motor system. This keeps the slide in correct timing. Doug
