Passport 2670 -slideout operation

Good time of the day,
I have 2016 Passport 2670, 2.5-3 years old with, I assume, BAL cable slideout mechanism.
Approximately a year ago I started having problem with the slideout. It extends without any problem. However, it really struggles while retracting. It moves very slowly and stops after just a few inches due to thermal circuit protection, after about 30 seconds something clicks and it moves again. Eventually it fully retracts, the slide position and cables look normal as far as I can see and the dealer did not find any mechanical problems but suggested to put stronger thermal breaker (and never did it). Meanwhile the problem is getting worse and I am afraid to get stuck in the campground.
I tried to clean battery contacts (charge =3/4- as usual without shore power) with no significant changes. Plugging the unit into the shore power brings only marginal improvement.
I wound appreciate your ideas.

A couple.
The thermal breakers may be weak. Replacing them may not be a bad idea.

Did the dealer check the adjustment of the cables or just look at them and give a thumbs up? There are videos on YouTube of how to adjust.

Have you cleaned your wiper seals? You can wipe them down then lubricate them with baby powder.

Is anything bunching up under the slide when pulling it in?

There you go. Let us know what you find.
