Trouble shooting the in-wall slideout system
Checking Fuses: The in-wall slide requires a minimum 30-amp fuse. Check the load
center for blown fuses and replace any if necessary. If the fuse blows immediately upon
replacement, there is a problem with the wiring to the in-wall slide control box. A qualified
service person should be called to check and repair.
Obstructions: Check both inside and outside for possible obstructions. Also check for
smaller objects that may be wedged under the floor or in the sides of the unit. Remove any
obstructions before proceeding.
Error Codes: Refer to the error codes section for codes and instructions on how to locate
the in-wall slide controller.
Low Voltage: The in-wall slide controller can operate with as little as 8 volts; however with
lower voltages the amperage requirement is greater. Check the voltage at the controller and
if it is lower than 11 volts, it is recommended that the battery be placed on a charger until it
is fully charged. It may be possible to "jump" the RV battery temporarily to extend or retract
the room. Consult Customer Service before attempting to "jump" the auxiliary battery.
Only 1 Side Moving: The slide room has a separate motor to operate each side of the room.
If only 1 side is moving, with another person's assistance, press the switch to extend or
retract the room while pushing the non-moving side in the appropriate direction. On larger
rooms it may be necessary to have 2 or more people pushing the room.
Non-moving side moved manually: Try to push the non-moving side in and out. If a motor
shaft has broken it will be possible to move that side of the room several inches by hand.
Larger rooms may require several people to push.
Debris in the rack: Check all 4 gear racks on the side of the room for debris.
Status LEDs lights: Locate the slide controller for the slideout in question. Check the
status LED lights while pressing the slideout direction switch (in both the extend and retract
mode).
Manual override for the in-wall slideout
The slideout system comes with an "electronic" manual override. In event the slide out does
not extend or retract follow these steps to override the system which should allow the
slideout to be retracted.
NOTE: Fuses for the slideouts can be found in the load center and
may be designated as auxiliary or slideout motor.
1.
Locate the slideout system controllers. There should be one for each slideout on the
recreation vehicle. They are typically located on the forward wall or ceiling of a
basement compartment. In some models they may be behind a cargo lined panel.
The malfunctioning controller should have a flashing red LED indicating a halt signal
