Electric beds stopped working

Our beds in the garage went up this weekend and stopped just before they got to their top spot like always. Then they would not go up or down. First time this has happened. But luckily we were at the end of out trip and ready to head home. Any suggestions on where to start looking for problems?

As a tip, we always make sure that the trailer is sitting on the stabilizers when we move the beds. When we first got the trailer home, we were in the driveway and moved the beds. They Seemed to make a lot more noise than when we were at the dealer for the PDI. After we leveled the trailer, and ran them back up, they were much quieter. We just figured that the frame must have had a little twist in it sitting on the driveway, and that bound up the beds just enough to make the motor work extra hard. We have not had any problems since. This might have worked your motor a little harder, and if the battery voltage was a little low, might have been enough to pop the fuse. Just a though.


Great tip!

It ended up being a blown fuse, but did not light up as blown until we would push the button for the beds. Luckily it was an easy fix this time.

Look for blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker depending whether they are 12volt or 120volt.
