2019 Thor Challenger 37 YT

The slide-out on the passenger side (the dinette and kitchen side) was hard to get to extend yesterday. Today it won't come in. It only travels about 6" and stops. I have made sure the coach is level, and I have tried it with the generator running. I make sure it is extended all the way and then try to bring it in- it moves, but only 6" and stops and the motor quits running.
The other 2 slides work- although they are very slow- both in and out direction.

How can I get the slide in?

Hello , it sounds like your slide is out of sync. Open the slide all the way, then push the control button in so the slide comes in a few inches. Then push the slide button out and hold the button for 3 seconds after the slide stops. Close the slide again moving the slide approximately 3-5 inches and stop and again open the slide holding the slide button again for 3 seconds after the slide opens. Do this one more time and then try to open the slide and see what happens and continue to hold the button for 3 seconds after the motor stops. I'm assuming this is a Lippert system because of the model. It is importanat to hold the button when opening and closing the slide until the motor amps out, this is what keeps the motors in sync, other wise the slide can get out of sync and this is the end result. Also, you can disconnect the control module which should be in the storage bay underneath the slide. Disconnect power and you and a buddy should be able to push the slide in and then plug the electrical outlet back in as this also controls the brake on the slide. If you google lippert slides all of this is in the trouble shooting portion of how to fix specific issues with a Lippert slide. The unit will even tell you if there is a problem with the system by counting the red flashes on the control box mounted in the storage bay that I previously mentioned. Good Luck
