2008 Cameo 33ckq Kitchen slide motor

[rcg270]

FYI

The slide motor to the kitchen slide began to slip upon returning home over the holiday weekend. After inspection, I found the "hex gear" to the slide motor slipping with the "slide gear motor," in other words the two gears were not meshing properly.

When I pulled the motor the mounting bolts for the motor were not tight at all! Also the "hex gear" was worn and had to be replaced. I disassembled the gear box to the motor, re-seated the hex gear shaft into the housing, and repacked with grease.

After re-install, slide moves very smooth with very little effort.

There is a Carriage Lifestyle forum that has details on how to repair the loose slide motor issue.

Welcome to this forum. I'm sure you will find much of the information here helpful.

I'm glad to hear you can still get parts for a Carriage product. Who manufactured the slide motor mechanism and where did you source your parts?

Put locktite on those motor mounting bolts unless you like doing it more than once.
