When your Kwikee automatic entry step stops extending or retracting, the motor and cable assembly is the most common cause. This OEM-spec replacement restores full automatic operation to Kwikee Series 24 and 25 steps -- your step extends when you open the door and retracts when you close it, just like the original.
Kwikee Series 24 and 25 steps are among the most widely installed automatic entry steps in the RV industry. Over time, the motor can burn out from heat cycling, corrosion, or extended-position strain -- and the cable can fatigue or slip. This direct-fit motor and cable assembly lets you rebuild the step at the component level rather than purchasing an entirely new step assembly.
The motor drives the cable mechanism that extends and retracts the step tread in response to door position signals from the step controller. Replacing this assembly typically restores normal operation when the step is unresponsive, moves sluggishly, or fails to retract fully after door closure.
Step extends automatically when the RV door opens and retracts when the door closes -- restored to original behavior after motor replacement.
Motor automatically shuts down if the step strikes an obstacle during extension or retraction, protecting the mechanism and preventing damage.
Sealed wiring and weatherproof connectors resist moisture, road debris, and corrosion -- critical for components mounted under the coach entry.
Sold under Kwikee part number 3392152, matching the original factory specification for Series 24 and 25 step assemblies.
If your Kwikee step shows any of the following symptoms, the motor and cable is the most likely failure point:
Before ordering, verify the controller and door switch are functioning correctly -- if the step shows no response at all and fuses are intact, the motor is the primary suspect.
The Kwikee Series 24 and Series 25 are similar in architecture but differ in step width and tread count. This motor and cable part (3392152) is shared across both series. Check the label on your existing step frame or the original installation documentation to confirm your series designation before ordering.
Replacement of the motor and cable is a DIY-accessible repair for owners comfortable with basic 12V electrical work and hand tools. General steps include:
