Slide Problem on a 2016 Eagle 338RETS

About a month after I received delivery of my travel trailer the motor on the opposite door slide or kitchen slide burnt out. The auto reset fuse kept tripping two or three times every time I brought the slide in until until the motor finally burned out. The dealer replaced the motor but the problem still continues. If anyone has had this problem and it was fixed could you please let me know how. I'm bringing it back to the dealer again for repair but a little extra knowledge would be helpful.

On my 2015 338RETS, it does the same thing with the auto reset breaker for the same slide. I just give it a couple seconds and it works. My motor hasn't burned up though. I wonder if it is due to the weight of the slide since the fridge etc is in it.

I hope it's not too heavy because sometimes i'm afraid I won't have enough power to get the slide moving to bring it in.

Tested the amperage today and with a 20 amp resettable fuse it's drawing 30 amps. It just about gets the slide out moving to bring it in. It cuts out at least 2 times before it is fully in. I hope the dealer knows what to do because if he can't fix it I'm out of options. At this point I'm afraid the motor, switch and remote control board may also fail in the future.

Our 338 hasn't had any problems with that slide going out or in as of yet. I do agree that the slide on that side has to be a lot heavier with all the fridge, stove, couch all in the one side.
