When your Lippert unidirectional hydraulic leveling system stops responding, the pump motor is often the first component to diagnose. This direct-replacement motor restores power to your leveling power unit without replacing the entire pump assembly -- saving time and money on the repair.
The Lippert 179327 is the OEM-specified replacement motor for Lippert unidirectional hydraulic power unit leveling systems. It is engineered to drop into the existing pump housing with the same mounting footprint, connection points, and shaft coupling interface as the original unit -- no fabrication or modification required when proper service procedures are followed.
This motor is commonly found on fifth wheels, travel trailers, and motorhomes equipped with Lippert's unidirectional (single-direction) hydraulic leveling and slide-out systems. If your jacks extend but will not retract (or vice versa), or the motor fails to energize, this is the correct replacement component to restore system function.
Designed as a factory-spec replacement for Lippert unidirectional hydraulic power units -- no modifications needed.
Four electrical connection points match the original wiring harness layout for a clean, straightforward reinstallation.
Durable steel and aluminum housing stands up to the vibration and heat generated by hydraulic leveling cycles.
Motor measures approximately 7.5 inches tall -- confirm clearance in your pump compartment before ordering.
Replacing only the motor -- rather than the entire pump and reservoir assembly -- is significantly more economical when the hydraulic pump body, reservoir, and valve block are still serviceable. The 179327 motor is the correct replacement for the power unit's drive motor, allowing you to restore full leveling function while reusing all other components in good condition.
Lippert recommends replacing the sealed shaft coupling (Lippert part number 286722) whenever this motor is replaced. The coupling is not included with this motor and must be purchased separately. Reusing a worn coupling can cause premature motor failure or poor pump engagement. Order part 286722 at the same time as this motor to complete the repair in a single service visit.
This motor is designed for unidirectional hydraulic leveling systems only. Lippert also produces bi-directional (reversing) hydraulic systems, which use a different motor and pump configuration. Check your system's documentation or the label on your existing pump unit to confirm "unidirectional" before purchasing. Installing an incorrect motor can result in system damage or non-function.

Lippert's service guidance recommends coupling replacement with every motor swap to ensure a reliable, leak-resistant connection between the motor shaft and pump drive.
