Rv Awning Motor Not Working

Some elctric awning motors do not have a stop and if.

Rv awning motor not working.

Like your ours is in the end of the awning. I deduced this in two ways. Fortunately i was able to quickly diagnose the problem was the manual power switch itself and not the motor fuse or wiring. Maybe put a socket on it and see what happens.

Lower the tension arm latch and put the support arms and rafters into travel position. I tried the awning using it and it worked. The awning does not function properly now it will move in and out with the remote but operates very slowly and does not lock into the travel trailer the switch on the wall for operating the awning works sporadically most of the time this switch will extend the awning but not retract it. The dometic power awning also functions using our keystone cougar trailers wireless remote control.

Upon inspection there is a small motor bolted to a gear reduction assembly. Take some time inspecting the awning for any signs of warping weather damage rusting tearing in the awning fabric itself or the motor overheating and working too hard. Test the battery power when a battery operated retractable awning does not work. The awning does not seem to have the right tension.

Here are the items to check for power problems. Watch for any interference at the same time. We had a similar problem with our 2013 adventurer. Check the power connections to see if there is a short in the wiring or the cord is not plugged in.

Under normal situations the nut will run the awning in or out depending on which way you turn it. The easiest way to check your power is with the battery meter built in to your rv. If the awning motor doesn t receive power it will not be able to extend or retract your awning. Low 12v power this could be caused by a bad battery or the 12v converter in your rv may have failed or be failing.

Charge or replace the batteries as needed. There are several problems that can cause the awning not to work correctly. A small voltage drop can do a lot on a 12 volt system. I say it should because if something failed inside the motor it may not.

I d probably start with a voltage measurement at the motor as the awning moves. The bolts holding the reducer.
