Hello Tom, VOM checked input at the solenoid connector and have 7 volts dc coming in. Thinking that I can safely conclude a bad solenoid. Any thoughts on an HWH part number ? I will be calling the company tomorrow and Googling info yet tonight. Thanks for your help. Ron

Hello Tom, Thanks for the docs. I downloaded and will be able to locate the correct pages. I will take a close look. I have "tapped" with a hammer on all 6 solenoids and had no success. I will dig further on the switches and consider Frank's suggestion also. I have attached a few pics, in case you wanted to take a look. Thanks for your help, as always. Ron

Yes I do. It has the same pitch and noise while pushing the in button as well as the out button.

Have parked down south for 6 months with slide extended. Time to leave and drivers side living room slide wont come in. Galley side and generator slides both work. I checked all bay doors and appear to be closed and switch is in. Checked owners manual and everything seems ok. Any ideas where any fuses would be located relating to the slide? The Manual suggested checking for fuses. Any ideas would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ron

Thanks Scotty!

Thanks Tom. ( you too Bill) I appreciate your always good advice. You have saved me a lot of money and frustration over the past few years. I will give that a try. Makes good sense. I figured that a replacement would be pricey. Just the end is bent, I think that I can fix it. Thanks for being so detailed and specific. It will be at least a week before I can get to it. Kids are visiting. I will let you know how it turns out. Ron

Thanks. I will Google them right now.

Stupidly backed over something that I shouldn’t have. Bent the metal back plate and chrome piece on the end. Looks like they can be bent back into place, but guessing that it will never look the same. Anyone successfully made such a repair and/or can anyone suggest a salvage yard where I can get a used one? Have to think that there is one out there somewhere. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Much appreciated.

All the responses were great and I learned a lot. Applied the last suggestion and the problem still persists. I will now focus on seeing if the Alladin is giving me an erroneous message.

Thanks for input. Aladdin shows Leg 2 as OFF. Testing incoming power as well as outgoing from newly installed circuit breaker and all look good. Alladin appears to be wrong. You are right. Measuring to negative ground shows 120. Installed new breaker. Aladdin still shows Leg 2 out. All else tests fine.

Thanks for your input. With new breaker and AlnoOx, I did as you suggested and have proper voltage to both lugs and to to negative strip ( one with the white wires). Using a noncontact voltage tester, each black wire leading to each circuit breaker is showing current. Assuming all is Ok. Kenwood is still showing Leg 2 is OFF. I understand that the forum discussion is done. I will review Kenwood related input and see what I can figure out. Thanks to all for the help. Great source of info and encouragement. Take care to all of you !

That makes perfect sense. I think that I can follow that. So, if Leg 2 were really inop, many of my outlets and appliances would not work? Both ACs have run on Leg 1, but oftentimes reluctant to have the compressor kick in. No sub panels. I can check for markings. I will check this weekend. Thanks!! Making me think. Learning a lot.

Problem is Alladin showing Leg 2 as off. When running AC or other electrical draws, they all appear on Leg 1. Excellent point on the Alladin connection to the transfer switch. I will check that. Good idea. Thanks !!

I have not seen it in the campgrounds. Mine was installed about a year ago.

Good idea. I will try that. Electrician said GFI was now required on RV plug ins. At least here in MN. Thanks!!
