Schwintek verticle bar replacement?
A heater alongside our rear sofa slid out and got jammed between the kitchen slide and wall when opening it. I didn't see it because of our island in the way.
I had a repair guy come out and survey why I couldn't time it properly and the motors were making at ratcheting sound at times when retracting it. He saw the verticle frame bar on one side is slightly bent causing the motor(s) to be misaligned. I told him go ahead and order it and let me know when I can schedule to have them repair it.
Well, that was over 6 weeks ago and they say it hasn't come in yet. I ran the part number on the net and found I can have one here in less than a week from several ebay sellers. So, I am thinking of ordering it and doing it myself. This thing isn't cheap at $1300-$1500 for a stamped steel bar and some brackets.
Anyway, if anyone has done one of these, please let me know of any stumbling blocks I might encounter and if it is a one person job. Thanks in advance.
