If you go to lipperts tech course they explain a lot about how the unit works. Someone else advised looking into it and I have found it very informative on all things Lippert. https://lippert.thinkific.com/enrollments

Before we picked ours up, there were issues with our slide out. From what they said Lippert and GD went to an updated version of the slide rails, and they had a lot of failures. GD wound up going back to the old style.
Before we picked up, the dealer took the "H frame" off of a unit on the sales lot, and put it in ours to get us to take delivery. The unit on the lot was the older more reliable style.
Dunno if that helps or not.

If you have the In Wall Slide the bottom floor rollers should support slide and not spin freely. Vertical weight should be fully on them and not on side gear drive V rollers or perimeter of slide.
If you do not have Lippert manuals for your slide go to their web site and down load them. There maybe manuals like user, installation and a third trouble shooting manual.
Lippert technical support has been very helpful for me in relation to slides. Call them and open a case number using your camper VIN. They will work you through the issue and may ask for photos. Make sure you ask who you are talking to because every time you call you will get a different person. When you get an email from them it may not state who sent it so keep notes as you troubleshoot.
If the H column is not mounted to camper wall with distance 2.5 +/- 1/8 or if racks are not correctly mounted it will vertically load the V rollers and no matter what a tech might tell you it should not. The V rollers are designed to guide horizontally. You may see rack teeth damage because gears are not sitting properly in rack due to mentioned errors. Lippert will ask you to take measurements of H column and rack locations. If H column and rack locations are correct then the floor rollers may need to be shimmed and the slide needs to be pulled out (and supported) past rollers to do this.
Even if you had a dealer or mobile tech ready to work on slide I would follow above recommendations to try get to root cause of problem the first time and not the second or third time they work on slide. The later times could end up being some time down the road when unit is out of warranty.
