Dry silicon spray lubricant? On my 3124KS, I had the same problem with my manual slide out, but Will (of The Car Show fame) told me about this spray lube. You can get it at Walleyworld. It's in the RV department by the automotive stuff. It says on the can that it's for slide outs. If you have the electric slide out, this will especially apply to you too.
So I got some and sprayed it everywhere on those aluminum rails on the floor next to the outside walls where the slide out made contact with the lower shell (with the slide out open of course). Even under on the outside in the grooves of the folding outrigger supports and especially the rollers and where they make contact to the underside of the slide out. Also don't forget the bolts that connects the outrigger to the frame.
After pulling it out and pushing it back in a couple of times it freed itself up and now slides very easily. About once a year I hit it with that spray to keep it sliding properly. Give er a squirt and see if that helps. I also use it on the bed slide out to keep it sliding smoothly.
