Motor home slide

[GHOST1750]

I have a 2013 Newmar Canyon Star with the electric slides. The kitchen slide is hesitant. When you push the button the slide goes out a short distance and stops, push it again and it will move again. Sometimes we have to do that about three times. Oh yes, the washing machine won't start. Washer and dryer on same circuit and dryer works fine.

As they say on football replay, "Upon further review", I must report that the adjustment screw rotation is opposite of what I thought it would be. I kept a faulty controller that had been replaced, so in case I ever needed to replace another controller I would have the info.
I just looked at a tiny diagram on the case beside the screw and it illustrates turning the screw counterclockwise increases the amps.
I know now that I actually decreased the amps! I hate when I confuse myself.
Anyway, my slide-out is working.

Big Katuna......I have 4 slides on my Newmar Ventana. Newmar has their own slide-out mechanisms. They used motor controllers 10A - 35A #00-00971-100 made by Intellitec, one controller per slide.
The OP has a Newmar, that's why I responded.

Be careful not to move it too much!
I had a similar problem just recently where as the motor would just hum when I tried to open the slide, I may have moved the screw a half minute on a 60 minute clock to allow the slide to operate. If your adjustment is too much, you could destroy the motor or other components of the drive unit, so, proceed with caution. .

What brand slide is this?

Thanks everyone. I have always had National motor homes before, wish they still built them. I liked the hydraulic slides much better.
