Happened to me once.
I was unlevel (a lot I'm guessing).
Brought slide back in, held down "retract" for 5 seconds after slide in, brought up levelers, releveled correctly, no issues and it's been a couple years.
Hope this helps.

Bring it in, holding the button in until 5 seconds after the last side stops moving, then try again.

Then lookup the "synching" procedure in your slide mechanism owners manual. Probably a Schwintek slide system by Lippert (AKA LCI).

Similar to above. Retract the slide. If it stops during retraction, press extend for 1-2 seconds, then repeat retraction till it gets all the way in. Once in, hold switch down for 5 seconds. Press extend for 1-2 seconds and then completely retract and once again hold down the switch for 5 seconds. That should re-synchronize the two sides.

Well,
Your post made me lube the rails and clean the seals on my slide.

I'm very happy with both of these.
Happy enough I'll buy the seal cleaner for use on my othet vehicles.
(These came with my RV. The original owber must have gone down the aisle like a
Supermarket Sweeps contestant. A dozen chemicals, $1,000's in accessories)
