Replacement Kwikee Series 32 RV Step Motor Recommendation

Updated 08/21/2018 | Published 08/19/2018

Question:

I have a 2016 Jayco Alante 26AX with Kwikee 32 series steps. The steps stopped working during the trip I just returned from. The steps are free to move in/out when pushed. I tied them up to travel. I can hear the motor running when I open/close the door but the steps do not move, they are just free float. I have removed the motor and gear box assembly from the motorhome and removed the motor from the gear box. Looking at the gears when moving the actuating arm, all of the gear looks good, no missing or damaged teeth. I can turn the motor drive shaft with ease. Based on this I think I have a bad gear in the motor assembly. The P/N on the motor assembly is LCI P/N: 366043 LC379147. Do you agree that I have a bad motor assembly?
