This is my first post/ question. My 2021 310RL slides( kitchen and dinning room) started squealing about 2 months ago. It
is really loud when extending. It does not seem to be machinal, more like rubber against a hard surface. Does anyone know
the cause / cure ? Thanks, Tim
Hello and welcome from a fellow 310RL Owner.
I would highly doubt that the noise you describe is coming from any rubber dragging against a surface.
From experience, I would think that the source of the noise is from the slide arm’s extending and retracting.
I had a loud squeal at the very start of the retraction process on our kitchen slide and traced it to the extension arm rubbing slightly against the outer channel.
I cured it by applying a “Dry Lube” to top and side surfaces of the slides extension arm. I also lube the slide gear mechanism and bushings on a regular basis.
I realize that the manufacturer cautions against lubing the mechanism, but for me applying the proper lube in a reasonable amount far out ways the risk of dirt building up and a un lubricated metal to metal sliding joint.
It could also be possible that that slide needs to be adjusted a little to improve the glide path as the arms extend and retract inside their outer channel
