Kwikee Electric Entry Step Parts Diagram, Motors & Linkages

Identify the correct motor, linkage, gear, controller and switch on your Kwikee electric RV entry step before ordering replacements. This guide separates the factory curved A, straight B and straight C linkage families and the special 24/25 series assemblies.

Kwikee replacement parts: photos and part numbers

Compare the motor, linkage, controller and switch photos below with your existing step. Match the original series number and linkage style before ordering.

Find the series number before choosing a part

Look for the Kwikee label on the step frame or controller. Record the series number, step part number, serial number, original controller label and approximate manufacture date. Lippert notes that components changed in 2006 and again in 2019: older pre-IMGL, IMGL and IMGL II motor/controller combinations can require matched upgrade kits. Do not replace an IMGL motor with IMGL II alone without verifying the controller and upgrade requirements.

For B-style linkage 379161: Compare the step series, gear housing and original part number before ordering.

Kwikee parts by step series

Factory part numbers below are taken from the Lippert owners manual, CCD-0001625, revised September 4, 2024, page 4. The grouping is an identification starting point, not a promise that every year and revision takes an individual direct-replacement part.

Motor and controller generation: important compatibility distinction

Kwikee's 2006–2018 IMGL motor and controller differ from the IMGL II parts used on many 2019-and-newer steps. Lippert specifically warns that a failed IMGL motor or controller may require replacement of both with the correct IMGL II combination. The series 23 uses a different replacement path. Verify the original step series and the Lippert upgrade table before ordering an electronic component.

For Series 24/25 steps, 369506 identifies the replacement motor and 369529 identifies the motor-table and cable assembly. They are separate components; check the original motor, drive connection and step series before ordering.

Manufacturer diagrams and safety

View the official Lippert Kwikee electric step owner's manual and exploded parts illustration. The series-identification document also explains how to identify different production eras: Kwikee step identification quick reference (PDF).

Safety: Electric steps can extend or retract unexpectedly with door, switch or ignition signals. Do not reach into moving linkages, crawl below an unsupported RV or work on an energized step without following the manufacturer procedure. Confirm the step is fully extended before stepping on it.
