Hydraulic Slide problem
We have two slides that are hyd operated, in sequence. Everything is normal on extension. When it is time to retract them, the first slide comes in fine. As the rear slide starts in, the electric pump motor just stops after a few seconds, while the "In" switch is still depressed. If you release the switch, pause a fesw seconds and press it again, all works fine. I have seen it "stop" again just before the slide is fully stowed.
The aft slide seems to make more noise on retraction than the forward one...some fairly minor squealing noises. Retraction speed seems about the same as the front slide.
Are we overheating the motor and some sort of a thermal cutoff feature on the pump motor kicks in? Is there some sort of possibly faulty position sensor on the slide? Maybe the switch itself has an overheat problem?
Any info is appreciated....we are taking it in for warranty service in mid-July.
Thanks,
