Slides
I tried to close my six slides on my 3711fl. Only 3 closed. Any idea
Why the other 3 won’t close. One of my Lippert auto levels was leaking all summer. Would that have anything to do with?
Thank you.

Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level?

Also make sure your over ride switch in not turned off its by your level controls.

The slides that closed, Are they elecectric? Did they move at a normal pace?
When I have a leak and ran out of fluid, my slides that did move were at a snails pace.

I have no clue if they are electric or not. My dealer down here said sometimes
Half are electric and half hydraulic. (?) the ones that did close
Seems like the normal speed.

I think your bedroom slide s are cable driven electric. The remaining are hydraulic.

The ones that did close are both the Fl and the “ foot” of the bed slides.

Upper level slides are normally Electric and lower slides are normally hydraulic.
Since you have a "mix" of slides not working, the issue may be related to battery(ies) being too low.

We also have a 2016 3711fl and the bedroom closet slide and the both seating slides in the front living room are electric driven. You will notice that those that are electric driven have a steel cable system that extends and retracts the slides and the cables are visible outside when they are extended. The kitchen dinnete, the fridge and stove.and the king bed slides are hydraulic. If they are not moving you are low on hydraulic fluid or have a potential leak/hydraulic motor problem.

the remaining 3 slides all retracted. Thank you all
so much. Now to get that leaking auto stabilizer fixed!!
