My kitchen slide began to fail to fully retract on and off this past summer. I adjusted the aft motor at the controller to get it to close completely but it will not stay in adjustment. I have determined that the hardware is tight but the aft end stops consistently with 1/2 to 3/4 inch to go. the forward edge sticks out about 1/4 inch from being perfectly flush. Should I just keep recalibrating the control unit or look for another issue? We are two years into ownership and just now went past 8000 miles due mostly to short weekenders. We did just take it on a 1000 mile round trip to So Cal and back this weekend and am happy to report all systems are working well save this kitchen slide. I did notice a kitchen towel has been drawn into the forward full wall slide lower chain guide though! I will be working diligently to remove it this week!
