Help! Anyone know why generator won't retract?

I am getting the RV ready tor a trip down to Florida and was adding window washer fluid. The generator door slid out easily and now it won't retract. I hear the hydraulic motor going so there is power...

You add DEXTRON 3 to the HWH system. Do NOT add HYDRAULIC oil. The HWH system is separate from the chassis engine system. Do not add stop leak to the system, it will gum things up. If the jacks are inop now, that points to a problem that is more than just the genset problem. Doug


So you put transmission fluid in the reservoir? Sorry to be so stupid. :(
