Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back
The video doesn't address one side of the slide not moving at all. I noticed when I was out looking at the slide (in disgust) the other day, that my RV isn't level (it's in storage). It is tipped toward the rear quite a bit. Next warm day, I'm going to kneel down the front end and hopefully that will unload the rear of the slide where it's jammed. Will let you know when I try it.Re: Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back
I use the override on the bedroom slide. There's a broken wire in the cable somewhere - I have a new cable but the LR slide is the priority at the moment. I suppose I could try unlocking the motors and pushing in spite of the fact that I can hear the motor whirrrring for a second when I try to extend the slide. I don't see anything in the manual about electronically unlocking the motors - just how to physically disconnect the motors from the drive shaft.Schwintek slide jammed - shifted back
My living room slide won't go out. I used to be able to give it a shove to start it moving, but that doesn't work anymore. Both motors are working (I can hear them both) but the rear part of the slide doesn't move (front does). Given that it's in means that I can't get at the motor and drive system. I was going to unscrew the vertical piece that holds the motor, etc. but the screws are covered by the outer trim. There is plenty of space to get at the front screws. Looks like the slide has shifted back by about half an inch. I think this is the reason why the rear of the slide doesn't move. I think I have to push the slide forward and then it will probably work. If not, at least I'll have access to the screws to remove the mechanism. My question is this: if I manage to get a pry bar between the wall and the slide, will that be sufficient to move the slide? Do I have to jack up the slide to get it off the rollers at the bottom? I think I can get the furniture out of the slide (living room) to lighten the load. Any other suggestions?Norcold 1210 with replacement cooling unit propane blows out on the road
Fridge stopped working last year. Replaced the cooling unit with the unit from JC Refrigeration. It works fine on both electricity and propane but on propane for rolling down the road it stops working. Once stopped, power off/on gets it working fine again. Blows out?? Any ideas why it stops working? Yes, I know the propane hose is disconnected in the photo - I replaced it because it was cracked and leaking.
