Good instructions really helped. After struggling with installation i ran a tap thru the holes in the plate to clean the rust and debris then assembled easily. Thanks
Good video!
Plastic gears? Squeezing every dime out of rvers.
Yep. Got the part for 40$ followed the video and voila! Steps are fixed now. Figured I saved between $300 and $800 so I've been told by rv mechanics. Those rv repair shops charge a minimum of $60 an hr! Not an easy go of it though. Just stick with it! Thanks!😂😂
Thanks it made it a easy task 🏆🏴☠️🏴☠️
Thanks
Is the gear on the motor free spinning? It spins when the door opens and closes but will not keep the steps in place.
I have 3 bolts and 5 spacer's were do the other 2 spacers go?
I had my step motor go out last week. I checked my usual subscribed channels and your video was the easiest and closest to my application. Very helpful to me.
Buddy...I have the exact step and was SO grateful for your video as I prepared to change out the motor. I figured since it took you 15 minutes it would take me an hour 😉 Well, it took me three hours...Geezzz! Those spacers were a bugger. Anyhoo, replaced the motor and it's a no go. Waiting for the controller to arrive so I can spend another afternoon under the coach. Thanks !
I’ll be changing my step motor in the next few days. Your video builds my confidence that it should be an easy job. That’s always dangerous optimism. We’re full time and have been on the road for two months. It will be nice to not have to use a stool with a rope attached in the center of the step. Thanks for the video.
How long did the process take?
I know you did this a while back but wanted to ask you if you had to drill out the holes on the new motor? Also am I correct that one spacer has to go on top of the plate and the second spacer on top of the second plate? I bought one motor which cost $174.00 and would have to drill out the holes to 1/4 so not wanted to do that, I ordered a cheaper motor at $58.00 to see if that would would fit without drilling out the holes.
Nice video my step works great thank you
Thanks! My steps work smoothly but will only work in warm weather. I initially ordered a new controller which turned out not to be the issue, so sending it back. Ordered a new motor on Amazon today. They are even cheaper now! ($49.00) Hoping this solves my issue. Not sure what else could be causing the issue except the motor, considering its' finicky desire to not be cold. 🥶😁
Some people just have to criticize someone for something..great video straight and to the point
Need help: one of my motor bolts fell out so I bolted it back on now the steps extend and retract but when its extends fully the gears makes a grinding noise for about 3 seconds then the motor stop
Hi Brian, great video. My entry steps have a problem. When the switch or door is activated they either go part way in or part way out and stop and the motor has a loud humming noise. Could this be a bad motor, thx again.
FYI Step location doesn't matter. The controller just will decide when to stop either direction.
Hi! Thanks so much for the easy to follow instructions on replacing the step motor. As advised by you (and by Lippert) we ordered our part from Amazon (didn't get quite as good a deal as you did, but was glad to get it) and it arrived today (Sunday). Husband and I are thinking, 3 bolts, plug it in, should be working in 20-30 minutes, including gathering the needed tools. We had already removed our old part. When we got ready to put the bolts through the holes of the new part, they absolutely would not go in. Comparing the holes of the old part (which the bolts just slid through) to the new one, it was obvious the holes in the new part were smaller. We considered drilling them out but don't know that we may do more damage and we don't want to pay $150.00 plus for another new part. I have a call in to a friend that works on rv's for ideas but haven't heard back from him and tomorrow (Monday) I will call Lippert guy again and ask him what we should do. Since we are in Elkhart right now, maybe they will make the part good. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions. Fyi...this is how everything husband and I try to do goes...we always have some unusual issue.
