Fridge slide out will not move

Just returned from a 10 day trip in our Alpine 3101RL 5er. RV has three slides (LPI Hydraulic slide system with 6 point Level Up leveling system) and they all worked normally on the trip. Arrived home, put two slides out (bedroom and fridge) about half way in order to empty fridge and bedroom. When done, retracted the slides, drove to storage location, leveled the RV (LPI Level Up system) set the shut off values to extend the fridge slide only and the fridge slide would not go out. Reset the shut off values so all 3 slides would extend and two did but the fridge slide did not move.

WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR -
- I have checked the fluid level in the reservoir;
- I can hear the hydraulic pump running while trying to extend the fridge slide;
- the shut off values are in the correct position for all three slides;
- I have three 12 volt batteries (residential fridge) and they are fully charged as I just drove 300 miles, used the Level Up system to off load the RV, and the two other slides go in and out

NEXT STEPS -
- ask the experts on the Forum for advice
- check the fuse (if there are any)
- where I would find the fuse for the fridge slide out

Any help you can offer is appreciated. Thank you

Gary

I hope you get it figured out. I'll be watching and learning when the pros log on to help you. I'm buying a 5er in the next year or so. I need to be prepared.

I have, since first posting, checked the two 15 AMP fuses in the power converter and they appear to be OK.

I own an Alpine with 3 slides. You state the hydraulic pump is running so there are NO fuses involved with this setup.

The other slides are working and this was too until you turned off the check valve for that slide. You have stated you out check valve back in normal open position as other two are

It sounds to me like either the check valve for that slide has failed or there is some junk in the line blocking fluid flow

He fact that you hydraulic pump runs indicates battery power is fine and there are no other fuses that would effect system operation

I'd work that slide check valve knob several times and try again.

If all else fails you can override the system by going to manual mode and use a drill

Thanks for the replies to my problem. I could not see why the slide would not move so I took it to my dealer and they found that a nut on a hydraulic ram came off. They reattached it using lock tight on the nut and all is well.

Glad you were able to get it fixed. Next time someone post a similar problem you may already know the answer.
