Storms coming in Dodge City, KS and my awning won't retract. I got on the roof with some help and rolled the tube to close it, but of course the motor isn't holding it so I've got a bungee on it right now to the rail.
Sounds like the motor is trying to turn but it's not rolling the tube.
Any words of wisdom will help. If you've got a good solution to keep it locked up, you can reach me on the cell: 919-614-8784
Take care,
Greg

Happened to me during a rain and wind storm. When I tried to retract the motor would attempt it but no movement. Had to open the casing to get to the mechanism and found a gear had broken. Had to order a new motor with the gears as a unit even though the motor itself was fine.
Meantime best to roll by hand bit by bit and secure with nylon tiedowns.
