2016 Voltage Slide Trouble

[boostme]

Hello gang! Today upon opening my 2016 Voltage 3970 kitchen slide (oven side), I noticed a loud "pop" right before it's fully open. This I believe is the first year with thecable driven slides and I am trying to determine if this is an immediate concern, or something that is just out of adjustment a little bit. Any cable slide owners out there that have had this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Alright...my Outback had cables and I had to replace the gearbox on my kitchen...easy for the end user, and fairly easy to get the parts.

Look for the BAL guide on install/adjustment. I bought a tool off Amazon and cable ends as they may fail....again, easy for the end user.

As far as the popping, could very well be the cables are twisted and jumped a pulley. Check the slack and ensure the tension is proper when out AND when in. They should remain under tension, but not like a piano wire, and definitely no drooping.

Check the thin wood trim. It forms a flange over the metal trim on the slide when fully opened. My 2015 seemed to want to hang up until I adjusted it (the wood trim that is).

Cale,

I have been looking at mine and wondering if I should adjust anything, I am done with the local dealer I bought from. The cables are slack when the slide is in or out, but I stopped it at the halfway point and everything was tight. I am afraid that if I snug everything up at the in or out point, it will be too tight during operation, any suggestions? I have downloaded the guide.

I have not experienced any popping sounds, but have had to re-attach trim on the slides, the factory nail guns always seem to be set too high.

The cables should be have no slack in or out...stopping in between and checking the adjustment is not a good data point, as you only adjust to in or out.

Check out this manual. http://norcoind.com/bal/downloads/ac...ice-manual.pdf

That should have all you need. BAL has a single page document that shows everything really well,made displaying on the iPad quite handy.
