Our bedroom BAL slide started moaning and groaning during operation and I lost all confidence in it and resorted to pushing on it during operation and keeping my fingers crossed that we could get it in and out on our trips.
My suspicions were correct after investigating my issue on Saturday. Both of my slide motors were suffering from deflection, it appears both the housing and gear is too weak for the application. The gear was found to be digging into the rail, milling it away, causing extra friction.
I spent most of Saturday removing and replacing both of the motors. The good news is that BAL has added additional ribs to the new motors for added strength.
The slides now works easily without any moaning and groaning .
