Lippert levelling system motor failure
After returing from a trip from TN to several western states, I had my jacks extended in my driveway while doing some work. When I went to retract my jacks, they would not retract. After all the resets etc., I called LCI and they took me through some troubleshooting steps to determine that I had a motor failure (LCI techs were very helpful). After that, I found this thread which was very helpful. Neither of the local motor shops would repair the motor, but one gave me a contact for Western Motor Services which is the same company that "Jack and Diane" linked above. After calling them, I bought a replacement motor from them ($425 total). After receiving it, there were several obvious differences including: the body is about .5" shorter, the posts are located differently and are smaller, both end caps are shorter, there's no nut for manual operation but a screwdriver slot is provided. To shorten this story... I installed it and my system is now operational. I need to address the ring connectors on my cables, but other than that, it was a 2 bolt install. How long this slightly smaller motor will hold up, I don't know. Hopefully I won't be updating this post for several years.
