Technical Support / Bedroom slide inoperative (Update with pictures)
« Last post by Rick Vyncke on May 15, 2026, 01:25:36 AM »2004 Beaver Marquis Garnet
3 slides (front slides are hydraulic) the rear bedroom slide has gears, chain and electric motor.
Put the bedroom slide out this morning and no problem whatsoever. When I tried to retract it there was a loud pop and then for a brief moment it made a bit of a grinding sound. Following that there seems to be no power to it and it does not move. It is in the extended position. Any information regarding make and model of that slide would be greatly appreciated. It would be fantastic if I could put hands on technical or repair documents.
I removed the lower half of the bed so I could get a good look inside, but I don't see anything obvious and given my lack of knowledge of how it works I don't want to make things worse. Any help would be appreciated.
In the first photo it appears that a bushing has broken or come out. It is where the intermediate rod (I think it is called) mounts into the frame. It seems to me that the chain might have excessive slack in it as well. I assume this is the root of the problem... any guidance on repair?
One final question, I read that there should be an inline fuse for the motor... I cannot find that and none of my circuit breakers are tripped. Any idea where I might find the source of the tripped power?
Thank you!!!
