This is the obvious question and sometimes we all miss the obvious, is your use/store switch on?
Oh and welcome aboard!

This has happened before, can't find the post.
I "[I]think[I]" the trick is to have someone close the awning while you manually help it unroll.
It would be nice if awnings had a auto stop when deploying

You'll need a ladder, I use the picnic table when camping

Try pushing "Retract"...
If it does extend: you simply wound it in backwards.
Let it go all the way out, and continue to hold the retract button until it winds itself back it.
Problem solved.

That's called a "safety feature"...
If it did: you'd read about somebody deploying the awning on the highway at 60 mph...

Awning not working

My 3901 ha the same issue. Unplug the power and shut down the battery switch for 30 seconds . Resets all.
