When your Lippert slide-out stops moving -- or moves in one direction only -- the motor and cable assembly is usually the first component to suspect. Lippert part 369529 is the genuine OEM motor and cable drive assembly designed to restore full slide-out operation in LCI-equipped travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. This is a direct bolt-on replacement that gets your room moving again without the cost of a full slide-out mechanism overhaul.
Lippert Components (LCI) is the dominant supplier of slide-out systems in the North American RV market, and the 369529 motor and cable assembly is engineered specifically to integrate with their rack-and-pinion slide-out platforms -- the most widely deployed slide architecture found in production RVs from Forest River, Coachmen, Keystone, Heartland, Thor, and many others.
Unlike generic aftermarket motors, this assembly uses the OEM motor specification, cable routing, and connector pinout, meaning no wiring adapters, no fabricated brackets, and no guesswork during installation. If the part number on your existing failed motor matches the 369529 reference, this is your direct swap.
Genuine Lippert-spec 12V DC motor delivers the torque and duty cycle required by LCI rack-and-pinion slide mechanisms -- not an off-spec substitute.
Cable and motor arrive pre-assembled and pre-routed, reducing installation time and eliminating the need to splice or re-terminate wiring harnesses.
Mounting pattern and drive interface match the original LCI slide-out chassis bracket, so removal and reinstallation use standard hand tools with no custom fabrication.
At 13.5 x 8.0 x 3.5 inches and 3.0 lbs, the assembly ships compact and handles easily in the confined access areas typical of RV slide-out bays.
Lippert manufactures several distinct slide-out architectures: the older cable-drive system, the widely used rack-and-pinion (through-frame and flush-floor variants), and the more recent OneControl electric systems. Part 369529 is associated with the cable-assisted motor drive configuration found on many mid-2010s through current production slide rooms. The motor drives an inner cable mechanism that translates rotational force into the linear push-pull motion that extends and retracts the room.
If your slide operates sluggishly, stops mid-travel, makes grinding or clicking sounds from the drive unit, or fails to respond to the switch in one direction, the motor and cable assembly is the most likely culprit -- far more common than failure of the rack itself.
The 369529 assembly is designed for owner or dealer installation using common hand tools. General steps involve disconnecting shore power, isolating the slide-out circuit, removing the interior or exterior access panel to reach the motor mount, unplugging the wiring harness, unbolting the motor bracket, removing the cable from the drive tube, and reversing the process with the new assembly. Always move the slide to the fully retracted position before beginning work where possible.
