Troubleshooting Motor On Kwikee Steps Continuing To Run After Steps Are Fully Opened Or Closed
Question:
The electric steps on our 2013 Itasca Meridian 34B motorhome have started pulsing when reaching the fully extended or retracted position. I replaced the motor last spring April and it looks to be in good condition so Im wondering if I need to replace the controller. Once the stairs reach the fully extended or retracted position, the motor keeps running causing the steps to pulse three or four times before stopping. Thanks for any help.

I reached out to my contact at Lippert and the issue you are describing on the Kwikee Steps on your 2013 Itasca Meridian 34B is a tell tale sign of a bad controller.
The cause is the controller is not detecting the amp draw of the motor when the steps are fully opened/closed and is causing the motor to keep running after the step is fully opened/closed.
The Controller # LC363980 you were looking at is a replacement for Kwikee Revolution Steps. If that is not what you have on your Motorhome just let me know the model number of your steps and I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement controller for you.
