Troubleshooting: Atwood Slideout Room System

Problem	Possible Cause	Correction
Room fails to operate when control switch is pressed	Control button not pressed Room already fully extended or retracted Inadequate electrical power	Press the button Press the control button in both directions to verify if room is already fully extended or retracted Check 12-volt battery under load. If voltage is lower than 9 volts, replace the battery. While pressing the On and In buttons simultaneously, check the voltage at the motor with a volt meter. If no voltage, the problem is in the buttons, control or wiring. Check all system wiring, looking for broken connection.
Room runs slowly	Inadequate electrical power	Check 12-volt battery voltage. If voltage is lower than 9 volts, charge or replace battery.
Room stops prematurely	Control Inadequate electrical power	Release In/Out button, pause 2- 3 seconds then press again. Check 12-volt battery under load. If voltage is lower than 9 volts, replace the battery.
Repetative metallic sound	Physical interference	Inspect underside of R.V. to look for cross shaft obstruction
Room fails to seal	Stop-screw adjustment	Adjust stop screws to provide for sufficient room travel to allow seals to compress 1/4 to 3/4 inch
Room is extended and will not retract	Power failure	Rotate 3/4-inch hex drive in opposite direction of the arrow to manually retract the room. Disconnect wire nuts at motor and use an auxiliary 12-volt battery to apply voltage to the motor. If room operates in wrong direction, reverse the polarity.
