I guess its too much of a trip to cover it under warranty. If so try to lube it.
If its a dump valve (gray water) then the valve gate is probably binding. Sometimes lubricating it from inside the tank helps using mineral oil poured into an empty tank,allowing to sit against the closed valve for an hour or two. You then work the valve back n forth as you dump it.
You could also try to spray it as suggested .
another option is to add a twist on valve.
