Troubleshooting Kwikee Step Series 32 Steps That Won't Retract
Updated 02/26/2020 | Published 07/16/2018
Question:
I have replace both motor and gear box and still when I connect the arm to step it comes out fine but when closing it grunts and stops. It is like something is binding and I can not figure it out. I released the pin and the motor assembly works fine but put it back on step and no. I have to take motor off then realine the arm to step put pin in then attaché the motor back

It sounds like there is an issue with your linkage assembly that is causing the gears and motors to stop. I recommend using the Lippert Components Kwikee Step Gear/Linkage with A (1101425) # LC379160.
