I need to line up some tacky sealant for the bulb seals to make sure I get them sealed back up after the repair.Any information contained in the forum should be independently verified by checking with Grand Design, one of its authorized dealers, or reviewing your owners manual.
So how do I know its the slide motor I got lucky when my first slide motor went out, I was at a GD rally and the GD mobile repair guy swung by and replaced it in just a few minutes, wow, that was fast and easy. So yesterday the left front Schwintek living room slide would not come in on my 2017 Momentum 376TH. Facing it from the inside the left motor would run fine and the right motor wouldnt. Having been here before we knew enough to not to try and force it. I called LCI and they walked me through the manual over ride procedure, worked kind of. So to test the cable harness he had me swap the leads off the controller, cool idea. Schwintek Slide Out Maintenance Code Lights StayedAlso, the LED trouble code lights stayed the same. Then 8 red. Given the swap had no change in behavior I am assuming the harness is still good. I talked to the tech about removing the set screw as I had access to the outside at the time. Pulled bulb seal back a little but couldnt id the screw, hmmm I know that has to come out before the motor can be removed. ![]() By now its past lunch time on a day we were supposed to change locations. Always the case. By activating the slide controller while pulling on the slide I got it to retract fully so we could move. And by the way, the clearance from the wall of the slide to the cabinet is only about 3 inches. I took the door off the cabinet so I had enough room to get my hand to the seal to pull it back for access to the motor. New location we left the slide in, inconvenient but safe to travel again if necessary. From the parts lookup linked here I got the picture of the slide motor, 170000, in the description it had IG-42-10 mm. Matching that up with LCI parts list and Amazon I got a part number of 236575. So I started calling repair facilities, book up, booked up, booked up. So I started calling mobile repair guys, booked up, on vacation, booked up. I really really would rather pay to have this repaired by someone who is trained and experienced. Busy part of the season, lack of resources, impact of the pandemic all play into this. So I have decided to go ahead and make the replacement myself. Now to locate it. Is it above the motor or below the motor I cant find a picture of the exact location.
