Our 182 does that also. So, the wratcheting sound at the end is ok? I thought it sounded bad, so we just let it come in and stop it. Are we supposed to hear that noise as notification the bottom is being brought in?

Yes, that is my understanding. The ratcheting indicates the slide is fully out or fully in and you don't want it anywhere in between.

The 179 has a completely different slide mechanism with 4 motors. Swintec I think. All others have one motor.
