My bedroom slide developed a code 9 after three years of use. It still worked in emergency override. After putting up with that for several months, I dissembled the slide surround. Many screws and pin nails later, I exposed the back wall wiring chase. The problem was immediately evident. The cover of the wiring harness had worn through. There was short coil of wire between the harness clamp and the wall chase which had moved and was rubbing on the bottom slide track. I stripped the cover off the harness for about 6 inches to expose the wires. Four of the nine strands were worn away. I soldered in a jumper and covered it with heat shrink tubing. I used self-vulcanizing tape to cover the wires and used an Adel clamp to hold the repair away from the track. I reinstall the bed surround using hot glue and the screws. Now the DW is able to move the slide by herself, again.
