Kwikee Step Motor Keeps Running

Normally the motor is a direct drive to the steps so if the steps are actually moving then the motor will be running.

Kwikee step motor keeps running.

On many kwikee steps the motor is the same as the driver s door electric window motor on a 1996 ford taurus. Motor continues to run after steps have retracted. Sounds like what the fireup explained some kind of slipping going on. We do have the step motor replacement kit for pre imgl lc379608 which is for 28 series steps.

If your motor shows this part number then you can use replacement motor part lc379608. This toggle switch is typically located near the door and is used to keep the step extended when parked. Or is it the gearbox that is failing. There must be a way to figure this out.

Are your rv steps stuck or making a terrible noise. Where exactly do you think the noise is coming from. And how long has this been going on. Sometimes they work sometimes they don t.

If you have class a or class c motorhome the steps will typically retract when the engine is running regardless of the override switch position. Well it s usually not the step. I spoke with another rep from lippert who said that if all of the gears look good but your motor keeps running that means it needs to be replaced. Other wise steps work ok.

If the switch is on the step should stay out. It s usually the power plug that supplies power t. My contact at lippert components who makes the kwikee steps advised that for mid 90s step motors there is a replacement motor available only for those parts that show number 5973820. The good news is that the step motor is fairly inexpensive and easy to replace.

Here s a picture of the control unit on mine. Luckily kwikee supplies repair parts so that you can easily and quickly get your steps back into working order. Kwikee rv step parts kwikee is one of the leading brands in electric rv stairs but after repeated use over several years they will need to be repaired. Almost all erratic step behavior is caused by a bad motor.

When kwikee steps retract there is a clicking noise and it eventually stops. Have since tried to reconnect wire and again motor runs but does nothing with the steps. In this video i ll show you how to test the components of your kwikee rv step and replace the step motor. Cant figure out why motor clicks is there an adjustment that has to be make.

Not normal from my experience. Only solution was to cut wire to motor. What kind of steps do you have kwikee steps. Would this be a function of the control box.
