SLIDEOUTS
SCHWINTEK IN-WALL
™
SLIDEOUT TROUBLESHOOTING
AND COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
Low Voltage
The Schwintek Slide Controller is capable of operating the room with as little as 8 volts. But at these lower
voltages the amperage requirement is greater. Check voltage at the controller. If voltage 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’s battery temporarily to extend or retract the room. Consult the RV manufacturer’s owner’s
manual on the procedure for "jumping" or charging the battery.
Never "jump" or charge the battery from the power connections on the In-Wall
™
Controller. Always do
this at the battery. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
Only one side moving
The Schwintek In-Wall™ Slideout System has a separate motor to operate each side of the room. Does only
one side of the room move a short distance (2 to 4 inches) and stop?
Q.
Will non-moving side move with help?
A.
If only one side of the room is moving, then with someone’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 two or more people pushing the room.
Q.
Non-moving side moved manually:
A.
Try to push the non-moving side in and out. If a motor shaft has broken then it will be possible to move
that side of the room several inches by hand. Larger rooms may require several people to push.
Q.
With motor disengaged can room be moved?
A.
Disengage motor. After disengaging the motor, is it possible to move the room by hand? On larger
rooms more than one person may be required to move the room.
Debris in the rack
Check all gear racks on the side of the room for debris.
Do status LEDs light
Find the slide controller. When the room slide direction switch is actuated, do the status LEDs light up?
Check this in both the extend and retract modes. If the LEDs do not light up, or only light in one direction,
then unplug and re-plug the direction switch connection on the board. If the problem persists, the LEDs
still do not light up in both directions, then the switch or the wiring between the switch and the room is
defective.
Check for proper power and ground connections
Make sure connections are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.
