Sinarek closet. Slide

[Terry_25]

Sounds normal. Goes out 2 inches and stops. Other large slide worked. Tried repeatedly. Same result. Fuses good. Checked carefully for obstructions but is c!ear. What else can I check. Thanks

OP here. Yes it is a Schwintec closet slide. That other brand was created by fat fingers and small Kindle. Thanks for the helpful responses. I have reset the controller with no joy. Double checked for obstructions. Glad it is stuck in rather than out.Checked switch on panel to be sure all wires were connected. Cleaned 30 amp fuse.

I'm hesitant to get deeper into it on the road. Wll be in Fl for a month soon. Am going to have it looked at then if needed once I go through your suggestions again. Thanks very much.

1. Pushing the Controller inside button 8 or 9 times then holding it down until both lights flash, puts the system in override. That just means the ONLY current going to each motor is the 12 volt positive and Negative. The counter system is removed from operation. IF both motors or just one operates in this mode, that means the wiring is probably open or shorted. If not wiring, you have a bad motor
2. With the controller motor wire harness disconnected from the controller, 3 or 4 people can manually push the room in or out. Unless you have a locked up motor.
3. If the room is extended when it failed, then you can easily get to either motor to remove to push the room in
4. If the room is retracted, it is impossible to remove the motors, without getting the room to extend 3 or 4 inches to remove the motor retaining screw.
5. If some idiot has worked on the system before and did NOT use the correct 1/2 inch motor retainer screw and use just any longer than 1 inch screw to retain the motor, then you may have to use a air chisel to get the motor out when room fails retracted. We just had this happen at our shop. the idiot used a long screw previously and after awhile that screw shorted out the armature in the motor. Doug

Not the least bit picky - you push the buttons with your fingers. Last time I checked, fingers are manual.

Would you also like to "qualify" the statement that the "only way is to remove the motors to move the slide"...; you can simply unplug them at the controller?

To be fair, I've read through the manual and it specifically mentions removing the motors before trying to move the slide. I didn't see anywhere that it said the slide could be moved with the motor simply unplugged. That appeared to be a safety step prior to removing the motor.

And, honestly, everyone is operating under the assumption that the OP was referring to Schwintek, since no one has ever heard of a "Sinarek" although the spelling certainly isn't that similar. Maybe the OP could stop by and comment.

As prev stated, probably Schwintek (Lippert) slide. If the closet walls on the outside have channels top and bottom with cut gears, it is a Schwintek.

Schwintek-In-Wall slideout doesn't have manual override, only way is to remove motors to move slide. BUT, there are some procedures to try. Here is a link to the manual, with info on resetting the control unit you can try. Need to know where the control unit is in your trailer!!

One thing you might try quickly is to hold the switch till the motors stop when retracting. You'll hear them hit the amp limit. Supposed to resynch the motors. You should do same anytime slide is run in our out. Hold switch for a bit after the slide opens and stops and same when closing. May not be the solution, but simple try. If not, you'll need to spend time in the manual!!!

Schwintek DOES have a manual override, Check on page 5.

Assuming you mean Schwintek (I've never heard of the thing you tyoed) you can use the manual override to bring out the slide.

However, it sounds like you have some kind of obstruction.

Maybe Schwintek?

What's a Sinarek closet?

Could be a low voltage issue. Check (and clean) all your connections and pay special attention to the ground connection.
