Restore your Kwikee electric entry steps to full working order without replacing the entire step assembly. This complete A-Linkage repair kit includes every mechanical and electrical component you need -- integrated motor, gearbox, linkage kit, and control unit -- so you can get back on the road with a solid, dependable step system.
When your Kwikee electric step stops extending or retracting reliably, the problem is almost always in the motor, gearbox, linkage, or control unit -- not the step treads or frame themselves. The 379145 kit targets exactly those components, giving you a cost-effective path to a full mechanical and electrical rebuild without pulling the entire step assembly off the coach.
Designed specifically for Kwikee Series 22, 23, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 40 electric steps, this kit is the direct replacement for legacy part number 909770000. Everything arrives as a matched set so you are not sourcing motor, gearbox, and control board separately and hoping they work together.
Integrated motor, gearbox, A-linkage, and control unit ship together as a matched, pre-tested assembly -- no piecemeal sourcing required.
Covers Series 22, 23, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, and 40 Kwikee electric steps -- one of the broadest compatibility ranges in the Kwikee repair parts lineup.
Manufactured domestically to Kwikee/Lippert quality standards, with a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty backing the repair.
Kit ships with installation instructions so experienced DIYers can complete the repair with standard hand tools at home or at the campsite.
Kwikee electric steps use different linkage geometries depending on the step series and mounting configuration. The "A" linkage refers to the specific arm geometry used on the Series 22, 23, 30, and 32-40 steps listed above. If you are unsure which linkage your step uses, check the series number stamped on the step motor housing or mounting bracket, or cross-reference with Kwikee's documentation using your coach's step part number.
If your current step hardware carries part number 909770000, the 379145 kit is the current production direct replacement. Kwikee has consolidated and updated the repair kit lineup; ordering by 379145 ensures you receive the current-generation components.
Not included: Step treads, step frame, mounting hardware specific to the coach. This kit rebuilds the drive and control system only. Your existing step treads and frame are retained.
Per Kwikee: this kit will not work on steps manufactured before 1999. Kwikee does note that exceptions have been observed, but as a general rule, steps produced prior to 1999 require a different repair approach. Confirm your step's manufacture date before ordering.
This is an intermediate-level DIY repair. You will need basic hand tools (sockets, screwdrivers, wire connectors), access to the step mounting area under the coach entry, and roughly 1-2 hours for a first-time installer. The included instructions walk through motor and gearbox removal, linkage swap, control unit wiring, and operational testing. Torquing fasteners properly and verifying wiring polarity before testing are the two steps most often skipped -- both matter for long-term reliability.
After installation, cycle the step 10-15 times and inspect linkage pivot points for smooth travel. Apply a dry PTFE or silicone lubricant to the linkage pivot pins and slide rails every season to extend the life of the rebuilt assembly. Avoid petroleum-based greases, which attract road grit and accelerate wear.
Not all Kwikee electric steps use the A-Linkage geometry. Confirm your step is one of the listed series (22, 23, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, or 40) before purchasing. Ordering the wrong linkage kit will result in an incompatible repair.
