Slide drifting out when underway

2018 29w single power gear slide. Recently serviced and now working perfectly except the slide migrates out about 2 inches when driving. Using expandable curtain rod to keep it in place which works fine but would like to find the problem. Possibly the motor brake was not reset after it was worked on
Any thoughts?

My Greyhawk has safety bars that go in between slide and wall while traveling, never had slide move without them and if you forget to remove and try to put out the slide you get some bad noise.

Make sure the brake lever at the motor has not been moved. As you said the service center may not have put in the fully engaged position. It's on the end of the motor, small lever and probably has a soft black plastic cover.

Where do you access the motor? Not seeing it from under the MH. Must be under dinnett or under couch? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks all, found the access panel to the slide motor inside the storage compartment beside the low point drain. Removed the panel and moved the lock handle on the front of the motor. It gave a definite click. This clearly activated the locking mechanism and now all is good.
