Video Transcript for Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps Spec Review

Hey guys, this is Kevin from etrailer. And today we're gonna be taking a look at the replacement magnetic door switch for Kwikee RV Electric Steps. If you're having issues with your Kwikee electric step going in and out as you open or close your door. Then the number one cause most likely is going to be that door sensor. So your door sensor's gonna come with two parts. There's gonna be one here with two wires and that's gonna hook up to your actual motor home and to the wiring for the steps itself.

And then you're gonna have a separate piece which is just another magnet with a little bracket to hold it in place on the door. So that way anytime it comes close to the magnet on our coach side, it's going to retract the steps. And when our door opens and gets further away, it's gonna break that connection between our two magnets and extend our steps. On our coat side, there's gonna be two wires that are coming off of our magnet. One you can hook up to the power which is gonna be on that pigtail.

And then the other one you can just ground. It doesn't matter which wire you use, it will both work for whatever purpose. It just one has to go to ground and one has to go to power. Installation of your magnetic door switch is super simple. Let me show you how I did that.

So I've got my new magnet and I've already gone ahead and crimped on a ring terminal and just hooked it up and tested it just to make sure that everything's working properly. That there's no other issues with any of our wiring and we had no issues. Step went in and out as our door opened and closed with our magnet. So I know for sure this is good to go. So I'm just gonna trace this back through the opening that we already had.

This originally, it looks like they kind of just drilled into here and passed it through the gasket. Just gonna do the same thing. If I need to, I may just have to take that ring terminal off and just cripple on a new one. But we might be able to just sneak it through there. There is an adhesive backing on here so I'm gonna take that strip of and we'll stick it right on. And I'm gonna also reinsert those screws that are in our previous one. And we're just gonna run some more wire from our new switch back over to our four pole harness. Once again, we're gonna use heat shrink butt connectors. Keep our wirings nice and protected. Put that back on and we can put on our ground. All right, now that we got our wiring hooked back up, I'm gonna go ahead back up top and we'll hook on our other magnet. Make sure this is all working. And then all we gotta do is just shrink up those butt connectors and zip tie it back in place. So I use the door side of my magnetic switch. If I get it close up to it, you can see that it's functioning properly. It's closing the step 'cause it thinks that the door's closed. And as I pull it away, our step opens back up. So we know this is good. Now, one other thing that concerns me is just, there is about a fingers width of space between the magnetic pieces here just because of how the door sits. 'Cause they have it attached to their screen door. So I'm gonna put a finger here just to kind of simulate that. Make sure that if my door closes it's still gonna fit. All right. So even with that amount of space, we're still good to go. If you wanted to test that out yourself before installing it just to make sure that you have it close enough. 'Cause if you don't have it close enough, these two magnets aren't gonna be able to communicate with each other and properly operate the door. But since we're all good to go, I'm gonna go ahead and take the backing off of my adhesive here. We'll stick it back where it was. And try and line it up with the screw holes that we already had. And we'll just reuse those screws from our previous one to ensure it stays in place. Now while you're doing this, you really wanna be careful. This is just plastic on here so you don't wanna drill too hard. You do, and you'll break it right off. All right, now that we get the magnet secure, we'll go ahead and close our door. As you can see, step's popping right in. But open it up, step comes right out. Well, I think about does it for today's look at the replacement magnetic door switch for Kwikee RV Electric Steps. My name's Kevin. Thanks for watching..

Exactly what we needed! Thanks so much.



by:

After the US Post Office shipped the package around to several places for two weeks, they finally found it and delivered it. Customer Service at eTrailer was very helpful and offered an immediate replacement after the local Post Office told me they couldn't locate it anywhere and it would be best to contact the sender and ask for a replacement, then within an hour, I got notification from the Post Office that it had been found and would be delivered the next day. I called etrailer back and suggested they hold up on sending a replacement. Kudos to Customer Service for how they handled this situation.

After a year nothings changed. It works perfectly and was an exact replacement. Etrailer is always my first stop when looking for replacement rv parts.



by:

I ordered a magnet for the power steps on my RV. When I initially submitted the order, I forgot to put down the billing address for my credit card, which is different from my mailing address. etrailer promptly informed me that my order could not be completed and gave me a number to call to get the situation straightened out. I called the number, and the rep was very friendly and helpful. I received the magnet, it works great, and I am very happy with the transaction. Would definitely use etrailer again!



by:

Items I have purchased have been exactly as described. Parts I have ordered are exact replacement for original. ETrailer does a great job. I have purchased tow hitches, bike racks, and RV parts. Excellent customer service.

You mentioned that it had stopped working a few weeks after installation. I wanted to ask a few questions. Have you had the chance to check the wiring to make sure it didnt fray, break, and is still connected? Do you still have the sensor?



by:

This magnet sensor only worked for about two days then quit working , I was going to send it back, I would have liked an exchange for on that was going to work longer.

    We carry a few choices the Replacement Door Switch for Lippert Electric Coach Step # LC301694 and the Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC369299 that you may need depending on if your circuit needs to be open or closed. # LC301694 is an open circuit that completes when the door is closed, while # LC369299 is a complete circuit that opens when opened, tells the steps to retract.

  • How To Choose Correct Replacement Magnetic Door Switch
    In order to choose the correct replacement magnetic door switch for a set of Kwikee steps you'll need to know what controller you have as well as the shape and color of the existing door switch. I have attached a few photos which go into detail further. I have also attached some of the replacement door switches below as well like the Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor part # LC369299. In order to test the switch you can simply bypass it by touching the wires together.

    The difference is that the part # LC3747453 comes with the Adapter/Harness # LC369413 and the Switch Magnet # LC369299 while part # LC3747452 does not. Aside from that these are the same step.

  • The Kwikee Control Module Doesnt Match The One On My 1990 Allegro RV Step
    Your local RV shop is correct that the Control Unit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379146 did replace the original unit from your 1990 Allegro, but it is not the only part that is needed to get it installed. This will only fit motors from 2006 to present, so you will need a couple other things to get it to work properly. Typically in your case, I would have recommended the Motor Upgrade Kit for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC379145 as it includes everything needed to accomplish this feat....

  • Replacement Step Needed for Double SCS/Frigette Coach Steps 733-0001
    I reached out to my contact at Lippert who said that the 733-0001 number you gave me does look like a Coach Step number but he wasn't able to find anything in their system with it. Is there another number somewhere on the steps that has 6 digits and could you let me know how many steps you currently have? If not could you possibly send me some pictures of the steps so I can reach out to my contact and see if they can help me get the correct replacement for you.

  • Troubleshooting Kwikee Steps That Extend and Retract Opposite of Desired Function
    When your steps are operating exactly opposite of what they are supposed to it is not a bad control module but rather the wrong switch. They have some that are closed circuit switches and some that are open circuit switches meaning they will work exactly opposite of each other. The Replacement Door Switch for Lippert Electric Coach Step # LC301694 is an open switch which is what most steps post 1999 use that completes the circuit when the door is closed which tells the step's brain...

  • Solution for Kwikee RV Step that Door Switch Operates in Reverse
    For some reason Lippert uses two different magnet setups for their steps and the only difference is that they operate in reverse of each other. So in your situation the solution is to go with the opposite magnet switch so that it operates properly. So since you replaced some of the electronics but then I'm sure used the same door switch you'd need to go with the other switch setup so that it operates in reverse. Basically there's two colors. There's the black part # LC369299 and the white...

  • Which Replacement Door Magnet Kit Does Kwikee Series 28 Step Take
    The two magnet kits work opposite of each other so since you tried the # LC301694 and it operated your steps in reverse the part # LC369299 that you have now is the correct kit for your Kwikee 28 step kit.

  • Replacement Kwikee Step Switch with Normally Closed Circuit
    The original steps all came with the open switch originally so I would assume that it's the original configuration and that nothing has been previously replaced. If you just want to swap out the magnets, the opposite magnets that are normally closed are available with the Replacement Door Switch for Lippert Electric Coach Step # LC301694. This would reverse the functioning of the steps as they currently work.

  • Replacement Magnetic Door Switch For Kwikee 28 Series Steps Made In 1998
    There are two different magnet door switches for Kwikee steps that will depend on when Kwikee 28 Series was manufactured. If was 2006 or after, you'd use # LC374198 or if it was 2005 or earlier, use # LC369299. I'm assuming you either got the # LC374198 or the # LC301694 which is why the steps are working in the reverse order. You'll want to get the # LC369299 since your steps were manufactured in 1998.

  • Solution for Kwikee RV Electric Steps that Work in Reverse After Installed
    We're familiar with this issue which happens when the incorrect switch is used. Kwikee Steps use two different magnetic switches. One is a normally open circuit and the other is normally closed circuit. The switch must match the controller. Otherwise, the steps will work in reverse, as you described. The original switch kit included with the newer Kwikee 32 Series Electric RV Steps # LC372261 is an open circuit. The two magnetic sensor tabs mount in the doorframe and on the door. When...

  • Magnetic Door Switch Works Opposite Of What It Is Supposed To
    If you ordered and tested the Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor for Kwikee Electric RV Steps # LC369299 and they work backwards, then you need the Replacement Door Switch for Lippert for Lippert Electric Coach Step # LC301694. Lippert makes two switches that work opposite of each other, one completes the circuit when they are connected, and the other opens when they are connected.

  • Troubleshooting Kwikee Steps That Retract When the Door Opens and Extend When The Door Closes
    It sounds like the door sensor is not correct for the control box on your Kwikee Step. With a Kwikee Step like the # LC3747452 there are 2 different door sensors. You will have a white(normally closed) sensors and black(normally open) sensors. All the newer steps will use black sensors so if you may have reused an older white sensor it would need to be replaced. Here are a couple of the black and white sensors that we carry.

  • Kwikee RV Steps Are Operating In Reverse When The Step Switch Is On
    It sounds like you have some wires flipped on Kwikee RV steps. I have attached an image I recommend you double check to ensure that your wiring is correct, as that may be the issue. Additionally, it has been reported that the motor orientation could also be causing the opposite affect you're experiencing. What you'll want to do is ensure that the armature on the motor goes through a brush assembly, into the motor case which contains two permanent magnets. If this is turned 180°, this...

  • Troubleshooting New Lippert RV Step Switch that Works Door Opposite
    I am not totally sure why but Lippert has two different types of magnetic door switches that work opposite of each other. One switch setup completes a circuit when they are connected magnetically and the other setup opens a circuit when they are connected magnetically. So what that ends up doing if you order the wrong set is the steps work opposite of the way you'd like them to. I am not sure which switch you ordered but if you have the # LC301694 now you'd instead need the # LC369299...

I spoke with my contact at Lippert who said that there are 2 possible options for replacement steps, the Kwikee 27 Series # LC375632 (also need the Switch Magnet # LC369299) or the 32 Series # LC372261. The 27 Series uses 29" wide steps while the 32 Series uses 24" wide steps. From the pictures that...

    The manufacturer isn't very helpful when it comes to the switches so I pulled some and tested them myself to see if they are normally open or closed using a multimeter # PT89ZR. Each of the following switches all show resistance when the magnets are touching (door closed), you'll just want to note the size/shape (round/rectangle) to choose the correct option: # LC369299 (this is just the magnets and doesn't include the switch) # LC369311 (magnets, switch, cover plate for switch) #...

The # LC301694 you mentioned is for older steps and works in reverse of the newer # LC369299. I included a video of the # LC369299 for you to take a look at.

  • Does Color of Replacement Magnetic Door Sensor Matter for Kwikee RV Steps
