Who has replaced Schwintec motor?
My Schwintec slide failed on our trip. One side was working, the other was not. Stopped using the slide for the rest of the trip and now that I'm home I'm learning as I fix. Who here has actually replaced a Schwintec/Lippert motor? What I found was the motor had lifted up and come out of the coupling. The motor is still good but securing it is puzzling me. There is a "motor retaining screw" that is accessible with the slide out once I pull the bulb seal back. It is a female star machine screw. What's vexing me is what it is actually supposed to do. There was a "sleeve nut" on the inside and it looked like what it does is poke into one of the holes at the top of the motor that allow you to see the brushes. That said, it is merely poking in the oval hole. The motor is not rally "retained". The motor can then partially rotate when it runs, the sleeve nut banging on one end of the oval hole or the other. Is that sleeve nut supposed to be mechanically fastened to the motor somehow?
