You could have too much weight in the slide out area for the motor to pull it in up over the hump at the edge of the floor outside. Had that. Needed to pull the heavy bed-sofa (ours is a loose type) onto the main floor, then the slide came in easily. Then put the sofa back out onto the slide area.
I have the heavy sleeper as well. I’ll give it a shot. I would think I would be able to at least hear the motor attempt to move the slide though. Thanks for the response.

Yes, it would make that rattle you get when the slide is all the way in or out. That is not the motor sound though. I don't understand Doug's idea. Everything works going out and coming in except for the first couple of inches coming in. So how can there be a bad spot in the motor? However Doug knows these things and I am just guessing.
It is like the motor might be running (and you can't hear it) but is not grabbing onto the mechanism until it gets closer where it can engage. But if something is loose how can it go all the way out by motor? It is not loose when pushed but only when pulled?
