DRV Gear Driven Slide

I recently purchase a 2013 DRV 38TKSB3 which has gear driven slides for the bedroom and vanity. The bed side which includes a washer and dryer really struggles to open and close. When it closes the side of the slide closes to the front of the RV lacks about 1.5 inches from being totally closed.
Has anyone dealt with this problem themselves? Wondering how hard it is to access the drive motor and track assembly that the slide rides on.

Any advice from someone with the same issue would be appreciated.

May have to open and close a couple times to get back in sync. Make sure you lube it properly, great youtube video on schwintec slide maintenance shows where to lube and what to use.

When you use any slides including drop down beds you are suppose to hold the button down until you hear the motor quit. Sometimes 30 seconds after you think that it is in or out. Do this going in and out. It keeps the motors in sink. That's probably why its not coming in equally and leaving the gap on one side. It wont hurt the motors they kick out on their own. Hold it in till you do not hear anything and this should resolve your problem. This is probably why you hear the struggling to get it in and out. Its bindlig
