I have only had this issue once and it just happened last week. I called my dealer and he informed me that the slide retracted too far in. The overload protection on the slide mechanisms was preventing the slide from extending.
The instructions he provided me did fix the issue.
On the slide that is hanging up and not extending, there is a threaded rod and a bell shape housing with a nut on the rod. This is against the frame when the slide is retracted. He told me to mark the location of the face of the nut on the rod. Loosen the nut (1-1/8 hex) and move it away from the bell housing. Mark location of the face of bell housing on rod, (you will need a 14" pipe wrench to loosen the bell housing) loosen bell housing. Extend slide now and move bell housing in 1/4" (inch) from bell housing mark on rod. Retighten nut making sure it is also behind the first mark on rod. Now work slide in and out to insure proper operation.
Hope this helps?
