Slide problem

Can't open the kitchen slide. When you push the button you can hear a error error sound briefly once or twice and slide does not open ? We just got to Myrtle Beach (Lake Wood RV Resort) Of course all the RV mobile tec places are closed. Does anyone know how to open this slide ? Is there an over ride ? Its a slim rack slide

If you unplug power to the controller you should be sble to.push it open. Will take a little muscle. Have you tried pushing while someone pushes the switch?

Find the controller and count the number of flashes/blinks to get error code. You should be able to put it in manual override by pressing the mode button 6 times and hold for 5 seconds on the 7th time. If there is not a motor or wiring issue the slide should move when you press the extend switch. Good luck.

Edit: make sure you plug into shore power. Battery could be low but error message will tell you.

I did try pushing on it while my wife pushed button. No luck. Not sure what the controller looks like ? Or how to unplug it.

Is this the controller. It's slide 3 that has a problem ? Don't see a button to push. Just a hole ?

Yes that is the controller for a Schwintek slide. Apologize the info I gave above is for the Schwintek slide, not the slime rack. The slide rack controller is going to be similar. It will have lights that flash and it will tell what is causing the fault. From what I read it does not appear to have an override that will allow you to extend the slide, only retract it. You can get the manuals on the LCI website. Tried upload one but vile to big.

You can download the manual at the link below. Go to the manual tab and you can download the Slim Rack slide out owners manual. Hope that helps.

Ok thanks. Hopefully a RV tec can come out Monday. I can't find that controller ? Just down loaded the Manuel. Going to read it now.

We had the same issue in our northpoint. My husband replaced the 20 amp circuit breaker with a new one we got from Napa. Now it all works again.

Sorry. I realize this is an older post but maybe it will help someone.

Did you get your slide working? If so, what did you find to be the problem? Might help others in the future.

Did not get it fixed yet. Code said it was a bad right motor. ,I have a mobile RV tec coming in the morning from a Jayco Dealer (RV One) here in Myrtle Beach.
I told him what the blinking lights said and he knows the problem. The other RV TEC I had come out recommended this guy and said he was trained on the Jayco slides. I just hope he has the parts.

It's now working. RV ONE in Myrtle Beach sent out a Mobile Tec (John) he was very knowledgeable. Turns out it was a pinched wire at the bottom left of the slide at the floor. After it was working good he put a tie on them and fastened it to the wall to try and avoid that problem in the future.

Thank You for all the suggestions and help.

Slide

I see you got it fixed. My Jayco Senaca has manual cranks to open and close my slides. 3/4 socket and ratchet.

My 2021 fifth wheel (bought July of 2020) has now been at the dealers for 2 and a half months because of schwintek slide problems. Both the bedroom and kitchen schwintek slides will work for a while and then suddenly quit working properly. And yes, the switch is being held for the proper amount of time after fully closing and opening to allow the motors to sync. And all of the other procedures recommended or required per LCI are done, repeatedly. My dealer, in coordination with techs from Jayco and LCI (LCI makes the slide components), has replaced all motors, all controllers, wiring harnesses, thermal breakers, measured for squareness of slide, checked rollers, made continuity tests, checked for kinking, and on and on and on. While it looks like maybe, and that's a big maybe, the bedroom slide may be fixed, but, the kitchen slide still does not work properly. The slide specialist at my dealer says that the schwintek system should never be used on the larger and heavier slides. He believes that because the kitchen slide is so heavy, and that it is obviously heavier on one end than the other, what is happening is that one end moves a few microseconds soon than the other, and then by the time the slide has moved out a foot or so the motors are far enough out of sync that the controller shuts them down. Or, that the slide moves in out or out far enough to get out-of-square just enough that the motors start working too hard and draw too much current through the auto-resetting thermal breaker and trips the breaker. It, of course, resets after about 15 seconds and you can keep trying. One of the techs at my dealer told me that based on the schwintek problems that he sees coming in for service he would never buy a trailer with a schwintek slide on any of the trailer's large slides.
