Main slide issue on one side
Hi all, I'm having issues with my main super slide. When bringing the slide back in it's as if one of the motors loses power or the communication signal is lost. So the one side just stops. I then ...

You say when it stops you have to extend it all the way out and then bring it back in. Have you tried extending it only a few inches after it stops and then try to bring it in again? Auto resetting circuit breakers take at least 30 seconds to reset. So if it stops and you can extend it for an inch or two and then immediately try to retract it and it moves in that inch or two and stops; Then there is no problem with power.
Can you bring it in to a point just before it normally stops and let go of the button. Then count to 10 to let things cool and then try to bring it the rest of the way in?
To me it just doesn't sound like an overheat or circuit breaker problem. I'm guessing it's more something like the fabric underbelly or a wiring bundle or whatever is getting snagged and bunching up when you bring it in. Then you have to extend fully to stretch whatever it is back out. If that's the case then my suggestion above of reversing a few inches and then trying to retract it will have it stop at the same spot as the obstruction is still there. Maybe have somebody bring in the slide while you look underneath the affected side and see if anything is getting in the way. Don't forget this could also be something inside that is hanging up as well. Maybe the carpet is bunching up under it and eventually jamming it up.
When you do the 3 second bursts whatever is snagging is able to relax and release and you get to bring it in.
