Just thinking, is it possible those motors get damaged on the way OUT? We run it till the slide's fully extended but hold the switch a little longer? That would pass current through a stalled motor and surely heat it up even more than running it with slide in motion.
I like that thought. The switch is supposed to be held a few seconds. But I've had an RV salesperson tell me to hold it for up to 30 seconds. And another one say to hold it for 10 seconds.
As I understand it, these motors have revolution counters. So it would only require 2 or 3 seconds max to ensure they've reached the stop point.

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. Iโll 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.

This is a common problem. You have a BAD motor/trans assbly. By manually moving it you allow the armature windings to work. Doug
