Mine is a 2016 3711FL. I think Montana's decision to use Schwintek was wrong from the get-go. That slide has always been problematic, and I've had to have my DW operate the switch while I push or pull one side to keep it even. It sounds like it's struggling and operates much slower than the opposite, shorter slide.

I've had one motor replaced, and it is finally working consistently for me, and I've learned to hold in the switch for five seconds in the full out and in to allow for synchronicity. I've read that a stronger motor is available, but of course, you'd have to buy two, and check with ST to see if you have to upgrade the controller, too.
