Electric Awning

We have a 2008 2955RL with the electric awning...we use it frequently. I noticed the awning seems to take longer to retract now than before. Extension is still normal; but, during retraction the motor seems to be laboring. The awning never stops moving during retraction, it just seems that a couple of spots are a steeper uphill grade for the motor. I searched the MOC and saw several members have opted to go back to a manual awning. Personally, I like the electric awning and would like to keep it...as long as it is going to work correctly.

Anyone else seen this problem or have any ideas on a fix / troubleshooting the problem? For those of you who have had electric awning problems, is this the first indication of impending motor problems?

I haven't tried any of my usual "fixes", yet...WD-40, duct tape, bailing wire, etc... Thought I'd give the collective knowledge of MOC a shot first.

Thanks in advance,
