Help slider stopped sliding midway. Won’t move

[Janet and Kevin]

This is our virgin trip. I’m so demoralized. We north of Lost Coast in Trinidad, Ca. Our 5 day. Hooped, pressed slider..it went about 2/3 out and stopped. We tried better leveling but it wasn’t off by much. Check all sides & fuses. Then made about 5 phonecalls. [we have to walk a few hundred feet to get reception]. The assistance numbers closed east coast time. Looked up manual but wasn’t useful. Any thoughts?? Please. Now we wait til AM to call any tech/insurance etc people. Seems like a simple issue. Thanks Jan

I don’t know what type of RV you have. My unit is a class c in the outside under the slide there is a storage compartments on the side wall there should be a panel with four screws behind that panel there is a small white board it may have some lights green or red and yellow on the board it has some writing and tells you how to reset the board by pushing a small rest tab you may need a tip of a pen. Sure wish this can help you, I know the feeling good luck

Thank you for your comments. Also the slides don’t work if the RV engine is on, it’s a safety feature.

Lippert has several videos on troubleshooting the Schwintech slide system. This may help you get the slide retracted.

That’s a real good video, it should be part of the training when purchasing a new RV. Having the information and sharing it on this forum will help and avoid the Panic in time of need
Thank you Hooligan2

They need to redo that second video in something better than 240p.

I had the same issue several years ago on a trip. In your manual there it tells you the code as what you need to do depending on what lights are flashing on the box. It will tell you how to override the system using the pencil or pen. When I got home took it in for repair and it was one of my wheels or motor on the slide was destroyed which shorted the motor or something like that. Good thing I bought he extended warranty as it was over a $1000 to repair because they had to rebuild the whole motor. But that was my issue. Sounds close to what I had.
