Slide Lock

[djnash]

Just got back from camping and when i closed the passenger slide the front slide lock didn't engage. I can close it by hand but it is not engaged . Just moves freely. Need help to repair. 2008 Kountry Star.

If your coach has electric paddle locks, Most likely the actuator came apart. I’ve had several that had to be replaced.

Newmar sells them but marked up. Range of $350 or $500 if at dealer. Mine are inside overhead cabinets and tight quarters. My wife and I did one. Took several hours just because it was cramped area. But it can be done if you are handy and patient. I don’t know if you can buy direct from supplier. Search Actuator in Newmar threads here at Irv2. Firgelli automations is the manufacturer.

took the unit apart and discovered that the 4 screws that attach the motor to the back plate had come off. Removed the clip that has the shaft going thru the back plate installed and tightened the 4 screws with locktite testes and works like new. I will still order a replacement as the next time I might not be so lucky. Thanks again for the info and help..
