Kitchen Slide Stops Moving

Recently the kitchen slide has been acting up sometimes when bringing it in. It starts moving then stops and the pump whines as it does when a slide is totally in or out. If you run the ram back out a few inches and try again it most times lifts up the slide and comes in just fine.
It's not the circuit breaker opening as the pump will run as commanded without delay.
It seems more of a jam in lifting the floor out of its flush floor position.
There are no wear marks or damage underneath inside or out. The skis are intact.
What would be the best conditions for inspecting the 3 rollers?
Have y'all experienced or heard of it and/or have any suggestions?
For reference: the flush floor kitchen slide carries the fridge, cabinets, stove, and fireplace. It uses a through-frame hydraulic rack and pinion mechanism.

Is your slide centered left to right and not binding up. I have had to adjust both of mine. Might need to adjust the up and down if it is binding at top or bottom.
