Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Any chance it's a Dometic 9100 that may be subject to a recall?RoyBell wrote:
Mine was made late '14 I believe as a '15 model.
I have brought it in for service once. They said the motor is weak. When it gets wet, it causes a little oxidation and the motor has a hard time operating when it's starting from a position like that. True or not I have no idea. Sometimes I can manually twist the roller and it frees it up. Other times I need to turn the nut and it works (makes me think it's not an electrical issue but mechanical). It's the model with the speakers built into the ends, whatever brand that is.
From your description it sounds like you may have a Solera Power Awning w/Speakers by Lippert Components. If so, and if this problem persists & your dealer can't resolve the issue I'd call LCI and ask for direction as to what to do about this to solve the problem. Scroll down that page I linked to and you'll see it says the awning can easily be retracted with a power drill. :)
I was amazed at how SLOW the movement of the awning was with a drill. I contacted Keystone and Lippert about it and even though it was outside of a year old, they told me if it persists to bring it in and they'll take care of it under warranty.
