2009 Keystone Raptor bedroom slide stuck in closed position

I made a four hour trip yesterday, after closing the slides, got parked and leveled and the Bedroom slide wouldn't extend. I looked closer and 'think' it got stuck on a partially opened closet door. So I stuffed the clothes back into the closet, shut that door and tried the slide again. It will 'click' and tries to extend an inch or two, but that's it. It will retract back that inch and click again. I had someone press the button for me while I tried to 'help' it to extend, but haven't had any luck.

I'm don't even know where the mechanism can be accessed. This is the front bedroom slide on the driver's side. The closet door that may have been jamming it from extending is the one all the way in the front of the RV.

Any help would be appreciated.
  • I got to mine for repair/replacement by flipping the mattress up on its side and then taking out the paneling that the mattress lays on. That exposed all the mechanical innards underneath that moved the slide.

    It sure sounds like yours is still catching on something.
  • The problem was a towel I had placed over the opening had got stuck in the mechanism. Pulled it out and slide worked again.
