Servo Issue. Not retracting

Looking for some guidance. Just got and I am setting up my Maslow. I am going through the calibration but one of my arms will not retract. All of the others do.

I am leaning towards a bad encoder board. I can retract it but it will start going the opposite direction. When I do a full retract, it says it did. Almost ready to swap the board with another one. just trying to figure out if there is something else I should check. I have already swapped cables and it made no difference. I unplugged the board and it gets a communication error.

which one is not retracting? what did you set for retraction limit and
calibration limit?

when you say it goes in the wrong direction, what do you mean?

Bottom right is not retracting but all the others are. (Had to pull the cable off to for it to tell me.) Retraction and calibration force are at 900.

When I push the retract all button it will let me pull slack out on all the arms including the bottom right. The problem with this is it is wrapping itself up going the wrong direction. It is basically retracting because all of the slack is pulled out already

I ended up turning the retraction force up and it started working. Thank you
