I thought there was a diy on gear repair somewhere- mine is stuck all the way out but goes up and down- it's fine for me but this winter I'll pull it apart to see.

There's a simple DIY for it here. You'll just have to find it. Think there's a complete DIY list in one of the stickied threads.

As long as both motors are good , then the problem is the worm wheel had sunk way down. Put a washer beneath it to raise it up and all those functions will come back to life.

check this DIY from the stickied FAQ and DIY Mega Link Thread
