Entry step motor gear replacement

jgtyler · 07-22-2022, 02:06 PM

Now I have another issue with my 2020 Hurricane 33x. The entry step motor runs but the steps don't move. I believe that the motor gears are stripped or broken. Any idea where to get parts?

Amazon has the motors. When my motor went bad I called LCI they sent me a new motor, gear Box, and controller for free my coach was 3 years old so it was out of warranty but they wanted to help

It ended up being my gear box gear broke a tooth

Bought a new motor/gear box from Azoom for around $85 after I stripped the gears by opening the door with the RV cover strap over the step

! Enough stuff on an RV fails without adding to the pile!

Thanks all for the response, I will check amazon when I get home on Sunday evening. Now on to trying to fix the intermittent dash a/c blower issue, still trying to find the blasted coach fuse box to check all connections.

Hi, I have a Hurricane 27K that I need to replace the step motor. How do I know which part number to buy on Amazon? Do I need to take it off first to get the part number? Thank you.

Well, the technically correct way is to pin down what model steps you have either from the label on the steps or from the Thor Owners Resource account for your MH VIN or from the list of installed components in a cabinet in your RV.

Once you have the model number you can get part numbers from Lippert online (or even Google). Once you have the motor part number you can get an OEM or aftermarket replacement from Amazon. They are all essentially the same - a wiper motor assembly. I replaced my 2016 ACE 27.1 steps motor assembly with is one and it was a direct replacement and is working like new:

You might be able to get the part number off of the motor by laying on the ground and looking at it from underneath the steps. You can always remove it and look at it. There are only 3 bolts and an electrical supply line to remove the motor. It is an easy job. You will need to have the steps extended to get to the motor easily. If it is retracted, you can pull the step cotter pin to release the steps to access the motor.

Ebay has the gear for $10 to $13, if you know the number of teeth on your plastic gear.

Great advice! I did the same on my Hurricane this summer. Didn't need the gear, just the motor. An easy DIY fix.

Okay all worked out good however, it was not the motor it is the gear box since I found a broken tooth. My stair says it is a 28 and the arm to the gear box is straight Hurricane 27k 2015. When I went on Amazon they don’t have a 28 only 28A and the arms are curved, will these work the same? Should I get a 28A instead of a 28? The motor assembly I bought will also work with these 28A. What’s you opinion? Thanks again y’all have been a great help.
